Voice Recognition
- Thread starter Trun
- Start date
the only search options i have an option to change are for "Google Voice" (the phone/text service)....there is no option for Google Voice Search in my Dashboard.....
You may have to search on your computer for the "Google Dashboard". Once you get into your acct. go down the page to the Speech section and it will have a place that will list your voice recordings. When you click on it a box will come up warning you that you will delete all your voice recordings and is that ok.
You can look the google dashboard up on your computer or on your phone by doing a google search. Either way you will get into your account and see the speech settings
When you speak "navigate to McDonalds" it isn't supposed to take you to a listing as you would find in a Google search. The naviggation system is suposed to fire up immediately. Try some of the other commands as a test. "Listen to" then speak a musical artist's name and those tunes should start playing. "Send text to" then a person's name and a text message box with that person's name should appear. If you can do these things, then your voice recognition is working fine. If you can't, see the fix I have posted. Glad I could help.
this is the problem....there is no speech section....

I see all my other history like YouTube, Google Voice, Gmail, AdSense, etc...but no Speech section
I did what you said and this is what happened. The navigation part worked great. It did take me to a list of McDonalds in my town. Because I don't have any music on my phone when I asked to listen to something it took me to Pandora to listen to the music. When I said send text to it brought up a box where I could write a message to the person. I guess mine is working REALLY well. It's great to know when so many people are having problems. Thanks again.
Google Dashboard goes like this: Account, Alerts, Calendar, Contacts, Docs, GMail, Google Sync, IGoogle, Picasa Web Album, Reader and SPEECH
This is the address that I have when I bring up my dashboard https://www.google.com/accounts/Ser...d/&followup=https://www.google.com/dashboard/

yes....when i log into here there is no option for Speech settings. I have everything else you listed, but nothing for Speech. to confirm this, my friend (who just got his Nexus) tried to bring up his Dashboard and there was no setting for his Speech either....
might be time to visit a Sprint store, as Google has no way to contact them about this.
Go into your settings on your phone. Go to voice recognition and you should see something that says manage your Google dashboard. Go into that and see what happens
same results....everything is identical to my desktop. again, i tried this wit my friend's phone also, and his showed nothing. he did say, however, that he hasn't used his voice recognition search yet. but it doesn't make sense....i have been using mine for navigation, texting,etc...so it should be showing up there....
another interesting note......when i click to manage my dashboard, it takes me to my Gmail account that I have setup as a duplicate backup for when my student license expires at my university (my Umail is where my contacts and everything else are, but my Gmail was created so that I can purchase stuff from the market and be a backup). when i

When you go on your phone to the voice search in the apps and once that comes up you can hit the settings area and a screen will come up that says Google Account Dashboard. Once you hit that you will log into your google account.That will open your dashboard and all your google info. But if you haven't synced your google info into it then it won't show up
did you guys have to install voice from the market? i have just been using the version that came with the phone (which I assumed was the latest because it still had the personalized recognition feature in options). i just downloaded the one from the market and it still isnt' showing up in my dashboard.
under my both my Gmail and Umail account, I have it set to sync my contacts, calendar, and gmail. when i click the setting to go to my dashboard, it takes me to the login screen where i login. when i login (under my Gmail account and Umail account both) there is no option for speech settings on my dashboard. there are different options based on the account i login with, but there is no speech setting on either account.
also, i know it is syncing because when i just did a voice search for "pizza hut", it showed up under my gmail acocunt that i had done a search for that under "web".

This is what the dashboard says:
Voice Search: Personalized Voice Recognition & your privacy Share Comment
At Google we take privacy seriously. Getting more information about our users helps us develop better products, but we realize that some users may prefer to sacrifice performance in favor of privacy. For that reason we designed personalized speech recognition as an opt-in service so that users can make their own choices.
What is the benefit of personalized speech recognition?
Speech recognition is based on statistical modeling. To recognize spoken words, we compare the input speech to a statistical model of the language and try to find the closest match - the system's best guess at what the user said. The statistical model is huge - it must cover all of the fundamental sounds of the language (phonemes), all of the words, and all of the different ways that the words can be strung together in the spoken language. Furthermore, it must capture all of the variations among users that happen when a language is spoken, for example all of the different dialects and accents and individual differences in the sound of the voice (e.g., male vs. female, young vs. old).
Knowing what you said in the past allows us to build specialized models that are designed to match your voice and your words. Over time, this allows us to improve the speech recognition accuracy for you. But to do that, we must keep track of what you said in the past.
Why do we need to keep a link between you and your voice recordings?
Normally, we keep all the spoken utterances anonymous. In other words, we have millions upon millions of voice recordings with no way of telling who spoke any particular one of them. When you sign up for personalized speech recognition we keep an ‘electronic key’ that links the utterances that you said with your Google account. Using this key we can access your voice recordings and use them to refine your personalized models that are custom tailored for you.
How do we protect the data?
The ‘electronic keys’ are designed to be accessed by machines. Very few people within Google, who passed careful vetting, will have access to them. The personalized acoustic and language models are binary files designed for use by machines.
What if you change your mind?
At any time you can go back to the account dashboard and instruct us to break that electronic link. We immediately destroy the electronic keys and delete the personalized models that we built for you.
A note about corrections
When you speak, we present to you what it is that our algorithm thought you said. When you make a correction we capture that correction. However, we do it only for words - no numbers or words with special characters. Furthermore, we limit the correction only to cases where you substitute one word with one or two other words. If you simply add text we do not capture it.

Yes I do have personalize recognition checked. I have setup for my gmail account to be synced, but it looks like it is still not showing up
not to bring up a dead thread but i fixed this....
What the problem was was that I was signing into a Umail account first. When I used a Google account for the first time, it was under my school license, and that screwed everything up (I would sign in on my phone with a different password than I would sign into on my Google account and it still worked on the same e-mail). Because of this I never actually had a Google account until I actually created one to buy Market apps. From now on, I have to sign into only my Gmail account first and not Umail (I'm actually in the process on migrating everything to my Gmail account now from Umail...including backing up apps I downloaded from the Market that somehow got saved under my Umail account and not Gmail account). Now, under my Dashboard there is the Speech setting.
Google really needs to fix this, as I know there are a lot of people with these problems who don't know anything about rooting, backing up apps, or what the difference is between a Umail and Gmail account...
