Speech to text doesn't work Android

[Jpspaz]

When I try to respond to a text message by speaking my reply, the Uconnect only gives me the option to use predefined messages. If I say one of the predefined messages it will work fine, but I cannot simply speak what I want the message to be and have it typed out and sent. I read somewhere that certain phones are not compatible or maybe it was certain versions of the Android OS. I have a Motorola Droid Turbo 2. Any suggestions?

It will work if your phone is cabled to USB port, at which time the Android Auto kicks in and you can use its features. The UC does not have speech recognition beyond pre-programmed words.

I spent almost 2 hours tonight with 7 different agents from Uconnect, Sirius XM, Guardian Services and finally Uconnect Assist before I got the (hopefully) correct answer to this question. All Wranglers and certain other 2019 FCA products have an issue with "Voice Recognition" texting via their Uconnect radios (it's not limited to the 8.4" 4C Nav radios). It's a known software glitch that "the software engineers are working on". The agent did not know why something that worked perfectly well in MY2018 (and earlier) would be broken in MY2019. Hopefully, this issue will be resolved in a future Uconnect update via USB; preferably sooner than later.
