Speech Recognizer on HTC One M7

Question

I wrote a speech recognition app using android's built-in speech recognition classes. The following exception shows up in my developer console when the startListening function is called on the speech recognizer object obtained using createSpeechRecognizer(context) function.

SecurityException:

java.lang.SecurityException: Not allowed to bind to service Intent
{   act=android.speech.RecognitionService        
    cmp=com.htc.android.voicedictation/.VoiceDictationService 
}

Any ideas why this is happening and how to fix this?

Tested working on Nexus 7 & HTC ONE X.

Failed on HTC ONE M7 (4.2.2)

Show us some code...e.g. how you declared the service in the manifest — Dumbo, Aug 11 '14 at 19:22

Thanks for the reply. I didn't declare it in manifest. It's not a class within my app, so I don't need too right? Works on other devices but not HTC ONE — Mike Seeds, Aug 11 '14 at 19:26
@OlegGordiichuk Thanks for reply. Running latest versions of Google Now and Google Search. — Mike Seeds, Aug 11 '14 at 19:37
@Sean87 I don't need to declare it in the manifest because its not a service in my app, is that right? — Mike Seeds, Aug 11 '14 at 19:38
SecurityExceptions are 8/10 times a missing manifest entry. Often a missing `` — SQLiteNoob, Aug 11 '14 at 19:48

Found the root cause of this issue from this link: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/joaomgcd/qcSfL2-SIfk

Solution: Google voice typing must be enabled on a device.

I have faced the same issue. I solved it by Going to Settings-> Language & keyboard -> Voice Input-> Then enable the 'Basic Google recognition', as this radio button was disabled in my same HTC phone.
