App summary

A simple to use app for dictating text which can be sent as an SMS or Email or copied and pasted into another app. The app uses Androids built-in Speech Recogniser to turn speech into text. The app is also capable of speaking text out using your built-in TTS Engine.

A new innovative sliding tab design makes it even easier to use the app.

You are able to send dictations to contacts from your phonebook (permission required).

App is garbage. Would not create text from voice no matter what we did or how we fiddled with the settings and app permissions. After weeks, uninstalled and reinstalled, but this time it will not record anything....the record function simply won't start, or shuts down within a second. No settings seem to make it work any better. Total junk.

After using this app for months, it stopped recording voice to text after update by Google and Samsung updates rebooting my phone. I have uninstalled STT and reinstalled it. Still fails to record when turning mic on. Several Google recommendations do not work.

It works really well, very few mistakes and those are mostly mine. It needs a way to make it save to a folder. I read the FAQs and it said would save to a folder titled speech to text but it doesn't do it. Any help there would be appreciated..
