In KitKat, you could download the high quality voice package for text-to-speech output. In Lollipop, Google removed that, but I feel that the text to speech voice does not sound as natural as the high quality package in KitKat; seems a little robotic. Is there a way to restore that in Lollipop?

They removed it from Lollipop due to the normal one being the high quality voice. Not sure where I read that but it was no longer needed.
Mine seems as good as the high quality one and has more volume.

Hi,
I found that the Kaiser has "Voice Recorder" application which can be used to record ... let say people speaking in front of you.
I found it quite useful.
But the audio quality is not that good. It looks like there are a lot of compression.
Is there any hack to improve the quality?
Because I found no setting at all.
Thanks
Go into Settings/Personal/Input/Options -- you can set the recording format there.
Guys, I use sometimes the youtube app from Google.
Apparently this is easy and efficient application,
BUT it results in quite poor videos quality.
What is strange, on videos of X2 the video gets fullscreen and better quality there.
Is there any way to increase the videos quality on X1 form this native app??
The video quality automatically increases if you use wifi, but its not much of a quality boost. I hope Google issues a Youtube update with higher quality codecs enabled.

ok, I see...
Well, strange that on X2 the videos look very good.
Maybe it's an an optimised version of this app?
I have some random markets ones, but they all save to .3gp which is really low quality. Is there one that saves to a higher quality file?
I just use the voice recorder app. Playback is good enough for me.
If you are going to record phone calls Google Voice will do that for you. Just give the person your GV number. When they call hit 4 on the keypad and it will record the call. Really cool.. IMO
I know I used to have one that saved the files as WAV, but I am blanking on the name. Lemme see if I can find it...
And the name of it is "Hertz". It worked okay for me the few times I used it.
I'm wondering if there is a method to enable real call recording on the N6? When I say real call recording, I do not mean using some crappy app from the Google Play Store that using the mic to capture the audio coming out of the speaker.
For example, on the Samsung phones you can enable call recording and it internally records the audio right from the source without the mic needing to hear it making both sides of the call crystal clear.
Thanks!

I think we are stuck with just apps from the play store. I use call recorder pro and it does a decent job. It does great on other phones I have used that weren't running stock google. Really not sure why that is. I could set it to record from the mic and both parties sounded super but if I select that on a stock rom it says call can't be recorded. I just set it to record phone line and the person you are talking to is faint but you can still hear them. Don't know of anything else though.
Callrecorder by Skvalex! Best there is period! His app supports the Nexus 6. It records both sides of the conversation!
But does it use line audio or the mic? Will check out out either way.

I can now confirm that Callrecorder by Skvalex does capture the call line audio (stream) and just not use the microphone like many other apps.
Overall the app is pretty good. It runs as a service and it adds a button to your call dialer, well not adds it but it hovers above your call dialer screen when a call is made or received. You're able adjust the placement of the button or wherever you prefer in the settings.
So if anyone else is looking this works!

Have you noticed that the mic quality on custom ROMs are all absolutely horrible? The mic is too soft and just sounds bad overall. Well, I definitely did and I am pleased to say after some tinkering, I've found a solution.
The solution:
- Download the ASUS Sound Recorder app. You won't be able to install this on the Play Store as it will say that your device is incompatible. You have to go to a website that provides the APKs. Orrrrr... you can click on me to download a version that has been tested to work. By simply installing this app, your mic will sound much much better overall.
