Ok Kit Kat! (getting Google Voice to work in your language)

[TeaLeaf]

Users of Kit Kat might be wondering what all the Google Voice fuss is about - you say "Ok Google" and your phone/tablet does nothing, so it seems not to work.   The problem is that it DOES work, but only if you use (simplified) US English.    Google uses separate settings for text input and voice search, so the fix is to go to:

Settings>Language & Input>Voice Search>Language>English>select US English.

Now try saying "Ok Google".   Surprised?  Now that you have simplified English for Kit Kat it works!  :thumbsup:
