Voice input & output settings
You use the Voice Input & Output settings to configure the Android voice input feature,
described in “Entering text by speaking” on page 36, and the text-to-speech
synthesizer, for applications that can take advantage of it, such as TalkBack, which is
described in “Accessibility settings” on page 380.
Google Voice Recognition settings screen
Language Opens a screen where you can set the language you use when entering
text by speaking.
SafeSearch Opens a dialog where you can set whether you want Google
SafeSearch filtering to block some results when you use Google search by voice:
Block no search results (off), only explicit or offensive images (moderate), or both
explicit or offensive text and images (strict).
Block offensive words When unchecked, Google voice recognition will
recognize and transcribe words many people consider offensive, when you enter text
by speaking. When checked, Google voice recognition replaces those words in
transcriptions with a placeholder comprised of hash symbols ( # ).
