I have the traditional T9 app from GitHub (sspanak), and it says that it is possible to do voice to text. Can someone help me how I can have it on my TCL Flip? I can’t find a way to enable voice to text.
I have the same issue on my Cat right now. I had in the past an option to press a mic but I can’t find it. Where'd the mic go? · Issue #806 · sspanak/tt9 · GitHub
I was searching, and I saw your comment on GitHub, I hope it answers, I didn’t know it worked for you before
BTW I am not sure how useful it will be on a non touch screen phone. I would recommend you go for voice access.
Feel free to add over there that you are experiencing the same issue on the TCL.
Same, I have vmouse v2, but is it possible to do voice to text with voice access?
Yes 100 percent. Most custom ROM’s with texting abilities comes with voice access.

TT9 doesn’t provide it’s own speech capabilities. The phone needs to have it built in.

That would explain why when I was using the stock ROM on my cat I had voice to text but now i am using the kitty ROM so the app must have been removed. That is the app name that would allow it?
Just guessing
Speech recognition & synthesis
But don’t take my word for it
I happen to have had a spoofed speech recognition and synthesis so I deleted it and replaced it with the regular one. The problem is the mic is still not coming up.
Think it needs google app
Didn’t think so
Maybe it doesn’t need Google app. Try clearing up data for TT9
You may be right at least according to ChatGPT:
To enable voice-to-text in the TT9 keyboard app, you need to have a speech recognition service installed and available on your Android device. For most users, that means installing Google’s speech recognition component. Here’s exactly what you need:
Install This App:
Speech Services by Google
Package name:
com.google.android.tts
Why You Need It:
- TT9 uses the voice input provided by Google’s speech recognition, which is part of the Google App and Speech Services by Google.
- These services convert your speech into text over the internet (cloud-based).
Requirements:
- A device with Google Play Services.
- Internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data).
- Voice input enabled in TT9 settings.
Optional (if not already installed):
You may also need the Google App (
com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox), which includes system-level components used by voice input.
I have a spoofed version of google for android auto so maybe that is the issue. The question is if I get the full version and then disable it will that help. Unless I can use eGate to use accessibility to close it.
What about downloading the required apps on the tcl. would that work to get it on the TCL?
I have speech to text working in TT9 on my Sonim Xp3Plus, which doesn’t have Play Services.
It uses Google Speech Services.

Is there a reason why voice access is not good enough?
Its not very fast or reliable.

Well I have google speech and nothing doing. Is it a system app on your phone?
