Voice input & output settings
You use the Voice Input & Output settings to configure the Android voice input feature,
described in “Entering text by speaking” on page 35, and the text-to-speech
synthesizer, for applications that can take advantage of it, such as TalkBack, which is
described in “Accessibility settings” on page 376.
Google Voice Recognition settings screen
Language Opens a screen where you can set the language you use when entering
text by speaking.
SafeSearch Opens a dialog where you can set whether you want Google
SafeSearch filtering to block some results when you use Google search by voice:
Block no search results (off), only explicit or offensive images (moderate), or both
explicit or offensive text and images (strict).
Block offensive words When unchecked, Google voice recognition will
recognize and transcribe words many people consider offensive, when you enter text
by speaking. When checked, Google voice recognition replaces those words in
transcriptions with a placeholder comprised of hash symbols ( # ).
Text-to-Speech settings screen
If you don’t have speech synthesizer data installed, only the Install voice data
setting is available.
Listen to an example Plays a brief sample of the speech synthesizer, using your
current settings.
Always use my settings Check to use the settings on this screen in place of
speech synthesizer settings available in other applications.
Default engine Opens a dialog where you can set the text-to-speech application
you want to use, if you have more than one installed.
Install voice data If your phone does not have speech synthesizer data installed,
connects to Android Market and guides you through the process of downloading and
installing the data. This setting is not available if the data is already installed.
Speech rate Opens a dialog where you can select how quickly you want the
synthesizer to speak.
