Voice input in multiple languages

Post by goodie »

Is it possible to use voice input in different languages?
Now I am using Korean, English, and Japanese (thanks to the newest update!), but the voice input always returns Korean result only, which is my default language.
Would it be possible to input English by voice when I click voice button in English mode, and input Japanese when I click in Japanese mode?
I am not sure if the android sdk explicitly supports such features, but I've seen that the Google Translate app actually does that; that is, the voice input is done in the source language we select.

Yes it should be possible (at least on Froyo but maybe even on previous versions)
It's somewhere in the TODO list, hopefully I will work on voice input in the next weeks (there are other things to fix/improve at the same time)

That's a great idea! I switch between German and English a lot and it really bothers me that I can only use the default language when it comes to voice input.

This was so easy I don't know why I didn't do it before ;)

Anyway too late to put it in 3.6.0... it's in the next beta
