No.
Do you have Speech Recognition and Synthesis installed?
Yes.
Right now, is your problem that the mic button doesn’t show up in TT9, or that it doesn’t work?
It doesn’t show up at all.
Then thats a problem with the TT9.
You tried clearing its cache?
It’s not a TT9 problem. When using the Android Keyboard the mic appears but the button does not work. Apparently I am missing something needed.
From this Where'd the mic go? · Issue #806 · sspanak/tt9 · GitHub it seems that you possibly need the Google app, Google Voice Assistant and maybe Speech Recognition and Synthesis.
I have a Google app stub installed, I got the Google Voice Assistant (which downloaded but when opening the app it says it isn’t supported) and have Speech Recognition and Synthesis, but it still didn’t work.
I guess I still have to try by downloading the regular Google app. The problem is on the play store I can’t download it (probably because the Cat S22 runs on Android Go), and I don’t want the Google app (I can solve this by using the eGate accessibility setting to close the app when opened).
Interesting enough on Gboard the voice to text option works. According to ChatGPT this is normal.
TT9 is supposed to show the mic icon, whether the phone supports speech to text or not.
Interesting.
On the flip phones that I’ve used it on (Kyocera, and my Sonim until now), the mic icon showed up, but didn’t work.
I guess thats probably because they came with a voice commands app that had a speech recognition engine, but that wasn’t available for other apps to use.
