Period and question emojis not working when voice texting

BobInOhio — Thu, 02 May 2024 19:14:36 GMT

Lately when I do voice to text, if I try to insert a question mark (?) or a period (.), instead of the actual emojis being inserted into the text, the words "question mark" and "period" are inserted into the text.

Go to Settings > General Management > Samsung Keyboard settings > Voice input. Select Google Voice Typing. This should now recognize punctuation.

If Samsung wants to compete against Apple, you really need to get your software to work ... like this basic function. Your software also resets settings when the phone updates. It had proper punctuation and then updated, and reset to the faulty Samsung keyboard settings. Why would Samsung have faulty settings in its software anyhow?

It's typical, halfway Samsung software. Perhaps not surprisingly in order to use the Google Voice input, as soon as you select it the microphone on the Samsung keyboard disappears and is replaced with a keyboard symbol which requires at least one extra step to then go to Google voice. There's really no excuse for this, considering how many years voice input has been available and around. It is just Samsung again wanting your money but not willing to refine their product. Maybe they should hire some people from Apple or Google to help them.

Same thing happened to me after update and now I can't fix it. Have spent hours trying everything

@Popsicle 20 when I go to Samsung Keyboard settings, I do not see Voice input or Google Voice Typing. So how do I fix this? The question mark and period are spelling out. The comma and exclamation mark work fine.

There are a lot of options under Keyboard settings. Voice Input is way down the page near the bottom and can be easy to miss. I hope that my screenshot helps you find it.

Google voice is grayed out on my fold 6 and can only select Samsung voice

Samsung Fold 6 only allows Samsung Voice when using Samsung keyboard. So I have to choose between a keyboard that supports voice punctuation or one that supports AI.

I experienced the same thing after the recent update. My commas and exclamation points work, while question marks and periods do not. The Samsung Keyboard list indeed does not show 'Voice Input' or 'Google Voice Typing' options. The photo Popsicle20 is posting is not accurate on my device after the update. Please advise.

I had to turn off Samsung Voice Input to get voice generated punctuation to work again.

Got there through "Keyboard List and Default"

I have tried the Samsung Keyboard and Gboard and for some reason the period doesn't work I have to back up each time and hit it twice . Like that

My settings do not have a Voice input option

Re: Re: Re: Re: Period and question emojis not working when voice texting

juugen — Tue, 17 Sep 2024 22:48:27 GMT

Thx, but it still do not have "voice input" as a choice. See my screenshot. According to your screenshot, it should come right after custom symbols. And before translation, swipe, touch and feedback. I don't not have translation at all either.

I see that you're also missing the "Translation" option. What model of phone do you have?
