why samsung voice input language isn't supporting french anymore

[FredyWashington]

I can no longer use French voice recognition for texting or using Messenger.  Voice input will use English because French isn't supported yet.  It was workng with my samsung s8+ but now it's not supported. I am very disappointed because I have friends and family members wo are French.

Try this Set up

From any Home screen, tap Apps.

Tap Settings.

Scroll to 'SYSTEM,' then tap Language & input.

Under 'SPEECH,' tap Text-to-speech options.

Select desired TTS engine:

Samsung text-to-speech engine

Google Text-to-speech Engine

Next to the desired search engine, tap the Settings icon.

Tap Install voice data.

For the Samsung text-to-speech engine, the desired language may already be downloaded.

However, you have the option of downloading a higher quality version.

Next to the desired language, tap Download or the Download icon.

Wait as the language downloads. It may take a few minutes.

Tap the Back key.

Tap Language to select the language


*** I will also add go in the app messages and authorize the microphone in the settings. 🙂
