voice input works intermittently

[Dingus McPiper]

This is the only thing driving my crazy with my phone. Any type of voice input like Search or voice texting only works occasionally. Mostly it just comes up as Initializing or it just sits there doing nothing. Seems to happen mostly over the cell network but has happened on different wifi connections also. I have downloaded the offline voice recognition pack thinking that would help but no difference. Is there anything I can reset or clear to help this, besides a factory reset? This is un-rooted stock GN2 on Sprint. Thank you!
