    <p>My Nexus One has it: </p> <ol> <li>Settings includes a "Voice recognizer settings" in the list of "Voice input &amp; output settings".</li> <li>Google Search has a microphone button next to it, so when I touch it, a dialog prompts me to say what I want to search.</li> </ol> <p>On the emulator (API level 8, Android 2.2) however, any of the above is nowhere to be found.</p> <p>Isn't voice search part of Android 2.2? If so, why is it found on my Nexus One (Froyo) but not on the emulator?</p> <p>What do I need to do to make at least the "Voice input &amp; output settings" available?</p> <p><strong>Update 1</strong>: I followed the instructions for creating the recognizer-enabled AVD as suggested below, but I still receive the "Recognizer no present" message:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/pcoSN.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>What else do I need to do?</p> <p>Is it possible that despite installing Google APIs by Google Inc., Android API 8, revision 2 and creating a special AVD with it, I still need to install the Voice Search app from the Android Market?</p> <p><strong>Update 2</strong>: I followed Michael's correction to install Google's Voice Search app. This solved the "Recognizer no present" problem but now I am presented with a new problem:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/UoRAP.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>The app's suggestion "Speak again" is bogus: Speaking again presents the same error message over and over again.</p>

    1. COThere is a lot of plumbing to get right for audio to get from your host's sound card to the emulator. I think it is possible, but I've heard people suggest it isn't worth it and one should just debug audio using a real device. I don't know what problem you are having with the audio. You might look at "Setting Hardware Emulation Options" in http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/devices/managing-avds-cmdline.html or "Emulator Startup Options" in http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/devices/emulator.html

    2. CO@Michael Levy The first thing I did yesterday in my attempts to troubleshoot the problem was setting 'hw.audioInput' to 'yes'. So, I basically implemented what's available for audio in the 2nd link you brought (excellent link BTW, thanks). I will now check the 1st link.

    3. CO@Michael Levy Done checking the 1st link as well. It turns out that I researched it to death yesterday as well. See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5466992/emulator-exe-help-audio-in-on-windows-produces-unknown-option-help-audio-in This is becoming more and more anigmatic. At this point I am ready to give up and move my debugging to a real device but I would love to see this problem solved for future generations. :)
