bobg1960, We understand the importance of using the voice to text function, we're here to help. When were you able to use it last? What's the make and model of your phone?

My phone is the Samsung ATIV SE running windows 8 and the voice to text and

voice to email stopped working about a week ago. I have used it regularly

prior to that. My cortana app and voice to bing still work?

I can't figure it out.

I know how convenient these features can be and want to ensure everything is working correctly for you. I would recommend editing your post as there is some private information you have included. Have updated the phone or applications recently? Is there an update waiting to be installed? If you turn the phone off and back on, do you see any difference?

i have tried turning it off and back on multiple times. i have gone into my settings and checked and it says that my  phone is up to date. i have it set to automatically download updates, so as far as recent updates, not sure when any may have happened because the automatic setting is for 3am and i wouldnt know it happened.

wouldnt you (verizon) know if there was an update to this phone that caused the voice to text/email to no longer function?

@bobg1960

 

Thanks for confirming that information, Robert.  Let’s continue troubleshooting.

 

Just to ensure we are on the same page, I want to confirm the steps you take to manage this setting. From the Home screen, tap Settings. Under the system menu, tap speech. Tap the Read aloud incoming text messages field and select an option. Then tap Text to Speech voice and choose female or male. Let me know if these settings are correct on your device.

Bobg1960, it doesn’t appear that anything has come through. Are you able to type out your Firmware Version? Additionally in doing some further research, this issue appears to be a known issue with some Samsung device. Can you follow these steps for me and let me know if this works better for you: Settings>Language and Input> On Screen Keyboard>Manage Keyboards>Slide Samsung voice input to turn off and then test this out. Please let us know the outcome.
