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.
