Moto Assist issue: Can't respond verbally to incoming texts

[b_slow1]

So this issue started this morning out of the blue:

I use Moto Assist at home, so I can answer calls/texts with my voice and am notified by voice. When I get an incoming text now, I am asked if I would like to listen to the message, like always. Then it chimes like it's supposed to, indicating that it's my turn to say a command, but now, it just keeps chiming, and chiming, and it doesn't stop, never allowing me to say anything. The only way to stop it is to close the program.

When I receive an incoming call, I guess the usual, "Call from {name}, say Answer or Ignore". That works perfectly fine. But if I MISS the call, and it asks if I would like to send a text message to the caller, I run into the same issue as above.

I've tried clearing the cache, uninstalling and reinstalling the Assist updates. But I can't get it to function like it used to. Has anyone else run into this strange issue?

I saw this also. Started 1/13/2015. Did Auto Assist get an update?

I believe it could be the update to the Google app, which has been causing people problems with Moto Assist (see the thread over on the 2013 Moto X forum: http://forums.androidcentral.com/moto-x-2013/480218-google-update-breaks-moto-assist-moto-x-2013-4-4-4-a.html. In that thread firepsych posts a particularly helpful link explaining the issue: https://plus.google.com/app/basic/stream/z121grb4gmvevh1qo04cfdjhlpeuittgm2k?cbp=wlhcyk0rk55b&sview=58&cid=5&soc-app=115&soc-platform=1&spath=%2Fapp%2Fbasic%2Fcommunities%2F116517178872973348174%2Fstream%2Fa4aa8792-a6e2-4b49-9902-202b493f4afc
