[Bug]: Voice input icon should be shown only when corresponding services are available #5698
Comments
I have question, i.e., what is the case or device that doesn't have speech to text feature? |
Just try uninstalling / disabling Google's speech-to-text app and other similar apps from your device. Your device would no longer have any of those services. |
I got it, thanks :) I guess these two ways can be helpful:-

@rohit9625 How about changing the color of the icon (may be to a Gray) if service is not available, unclicking the icon we can show the Toast to indicate the status of service. |
That's a great idea :) Let's see @sivaraam's thoughts also. |
For now the important thing is probably: How to find out in advance whether service is available or not. |
Hey @nicolas-raoul, I ran this code (https://stackoverflow.com/a/32596376) I was able to get the engines available Here are the results These are the same I got on going to settings of my phone |
I think it might be ideal to just hide the icon altogether when no speech-to-text services are available. I don't see any point with bothering the user about it when their device doesn't have speech-to-text services. If I'm right, the Wikipedia app does the same.
This is good. If it's helpful, this seems like the snippet that the Wikipedia app uses in order to recognize if speech-to-text services are available. We could consider using the same too. if it seems better 🙂 |
Summary
It's great to see the voice input option in the description and caption elements. There is a possibility that there are no speech-to-text services available on the device. Right now we seem to show the speech-to-text icon even in that case. We should identify this case and avoid showing the icon.
Steps to reproduce
Expected behaviour
We don't show the speech-to-text icon at all as the same is not available on the device.
Actual behaviour
We show the speech-to-text icon but tapping on the same has no effect.
