Solved Google's voice services (search, docs, translate) not working in Vivaldi

ocboogie

On Google when I use search by voice it's is no Internet connection and when I use translate by voice on Google translate it says speak English and then goes away and doesn't work. My flash is working fine so i don't know what the problem is?

@jhonca You will not get this in near future. Licence payments per annum and installation, and approbation of Vivaldi by Google is needed.

//MODEDIT: marked this post as a "solution", for better visibility as the answer to the question of why the voice services don't work in Vivaldi

I use Google docs to write and have been using chromium to do so. Which works great but it doesn't work well on Vivaldi. Previously in beta versions it would request camera permissions instead of mic permission like on chromium and fail. I sent a bug report and all but it didn't get fixed. Now after you choose voice typing, no permissions request pop up and then one of the time the browser just crashed. Would love it to be fixed. Thanks

A little bump.

@sahands Same here.

@Gwen-Dragon It's been 5 months and it's still not working. Any updates?

(Priority 5 being least important and Priority 1 being showstopper - mustfix before another release.)

When I started to use Vivaldi, I noticed that the voice search for Google never seemed to work and I just hated that this browser which I believe is chrome based cannot even utilize the voice search option on Google.

What happens is that the voice search says its offline when there is clearly a connection to the internet in this screenshot below:

As you can see there is a connection to Wi-Fi down below but Google's Voice Search never knows that it is online and you can see in the address bar that permissions are given to Google.

Problem already known and in the list of bugs to be solved!

When I try to use "Search by Voice" on Google while using the Vivaldi browser it always shows "no internet connection" and does not respond to spoken voice. This function works in Chrome but I sure would like to get it to work in Vivaldi as I prefer it over Chrome.

@sahands said in [Bug] google voice search not working:

google voice, when I click the mic icon, it just says "no Internet connection"

Still happening with Vivaldi: 1.14.1047.3 (Official Build) (64-bit)

When will the Google voice search start working?

EuGeneWolfe

"currently" for the few years.

BTW - Why was my previous post censored without any information?

@eugenewolfe If you follow the forum rules, your posts won't be edited. If you enable chat, the mods can inform you why the content was removed. Since you have Chat disabled, it is easier to just remove bad language than to get into a debate about what language is or is not acceptable, or warn you as recommended in the rules for moderators.

II'm sorry to read you feel so angry about Vivaldi's latest development. I understand your frustration with unfinished features and it takes time to make things awesome (Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer and Opera took more than 10 years to be where they are today). Our first two rules for Vivaldi's platform are:

"Treat others with respect

Be courteous."
https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/12248/vivaldi-community-rules

Therefore we kindly ask you to tone down your language a bit.

Your comments did not deserve a public warning. I thought you would figure out for yourself that your language was inappropriate since it has been removed, but since you asked, and have chat disabled, I have no other way to inform you and to protect Gwen from suspicion of "censorship."

Your post was not "censored." The valid question that you asked remains. The rest was unnecessary and unhelpful.

I notice this bug still hasn't been fixed!

@gwen-dragon Thank you

This might be related with voice typing not working on Google docs. I had reported it 2 years ago, hopefully it gets fixed soon.

Same problem here. Someone told me that they use the GOOGLE VOICE SEARCH on a MAC computer, but when I tried it does not work. Seen a bug report VB-11587 was filed for this some time ago. I see upon searching the web where people are told to try the Beta of GOOGLE Chrome. Really have not seen if that worked or it is back working in the release version of GOOGLE Chrome. Is there any news on if and when this is going to be working. I am currently running "Vivaldi version 1.15.1147.64 (Stable channel) (64-bit)". I have also tried the 32-bit version with the same result. I have nerve damage in my hands and using voice is easier than typing. Thank You.
