SpeechTexter is a free multilingual speech-to-text application aimed at assisting you with transcription of notes, documents, books, reports or blog posts by using your voice. This app also features a customizable voice commands list, allowing users to add punctuation marks, frequently used phrases, and some app actions (undo, redo, make a new paragraph).
SpeechTexter by default saves your data inside your browser's cache. If your browsers clears the cache your data will be deleted.
However, you can export your custom voice commands to your device and import them when you need them by clicking the corresponding buttons above the list.
SpeechTexter is using JSON format to store your voice commands. You can create a .txt file in this format on your device and then import it into SpeechTexter.
An example of JSON format is shown below:
Speechnotes is especially designed to provide you a distraction-free environment.Every note, starts with a new clear white paper, so to stimulate your mind with a clean fresh start. All other elements but the text itself are out of sight by fading out, so you can concentrate on the most important part - your own creativity.In addition to that, speaking instead of typing, enables you to think and speak it out fluently, uninterrupted, which again encourages creative, clear thinking. Fonts and colors all over the app were designed to be sharp and have excellent legibility characteristics.
Typing may result in different types of Computer Related Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI). Voice typing is one of the main recommended ways to minimize these risks, as it enables you to sit back comfortably, freeing your arms, hands, shoulders and back altogether.
However... On my walk with my dog, I hit the voice button and I got a notification above my keyboard that said "Faster voice typing is enabled" and suddenly my voice texting had it, and it worked great. I tried the button again and now it's back to its old self.
I've already skimmed through some activities in the "app start" block, but didn't get very far. Also used the "interact" block to identify the activity when the Voice Typing window is opened. It showed that the package "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox" is used, but I went through all activities of this package in the "app start" block, but couldn't summon the voice typing window.
Firefox Focus requests the incognito mode for the GBoard (Google Keyboard). The incognito mode for that keyboard disables voice typing. Firefox Focus does not get to control what features the keyboard displays.
Faster voice typing does not work well on GraphensOS as far as I know.
When you want to use voice typing, you need to switch from Gboard to Google Voice Typing.
This works with incognito mode
In other words, you cannot use Gboard voice typing in incognito mode.
Instead, Google voice typing can be used in incognito mode.
You can use Google voice typing by installing Speech Services by Google.
Why not use the default and incredible, privacy protecting AOSP keyboard, and install Sayboard? It makes the little microphone on the AOSP keyboard work and gives you voice typing. It also works in incognito modes!
Its not quite the same as gboard's voice typing (no punctuation), which is a hassle at first, but when you get used to it its no problem! You just voice type in bursts, and switch back to the keyboard to add in commas and periods yourself instead of saying "period".
Try it out! I was a LONG time gboard user myself, for the voice typing and the suggestions, but with the AOSP keyboard you just add words to the dictionary to make your own suggestions. Its my favorite keyboard now. I got away from gboard because even without network permissions, its still a glorified keylogger, and to me that's unacceptable. This is kinda a out of left field suggestion to your problem, but may be exactly the thing that gets you away from one more Google app, and onto a more open source, and privacy protecting path in addition to solving your problem!
We don't want to have all this C++ code exposed as attack surface to apps from the keyboard. Nearly all the relevant added features such as glide typing don't expose attack surface in any meaningful way. Attack surface would be reduced by getting rid of C++ code and instead having almost entirely Kotlin/Java code that's memory and type safe.
[deleted] hmm... Good point! This app may need recoding, but still... As an app that gives voice typing on your phone and runs locally, I'd say it's better for privacy than gboard. Maybe your compromising security a bit then though due to outdated code... That could probably be said of many apps though, but that's no excuse.
why does my iphone 12 pro max types whatever i dictate when voice control is on. When i turn off voice control it works well. Please find me a solution so that i can use voice control as well as type efficiently without hassle.
So I recently discovered the Windows 11 voice typing feature (Win + H) and started using it. Allegedly it supports commands like "correct word" or "select word, but it doesn't work for me. What does work for me is "new line". "Comma" only works sometimes, but many times it writes out the word "comma". Why is that and how can I fix it?
I am currently trying to use the report tool in Horos Dicom Viewer and it opens a Libreoffice writer document as I pointed it as its text editor.
It happens that voice recognition is part of most medical interpretation suites for sale nowadays. The only thing that makes a free suite made from horos + a free dicom server like DCM4CHEE+libreoffice different from a proprietary alternative would be voice recognition. And Google has one of the very best softwares (free or paid) available.
It would be awesome if we can open voice typing over a libreoffice writer document.
Agree Google voice to txt software is fantastic, and not only in English. I checked Spanish and French and that recognition works incredible.
An open google API to voice is available. Integrating writer with google voice would add tons of value.
Go ahead and try it. If you are reading this on a touch screen device, try typing a Tweet or even leave a comment below here using voice typing. Once you start, you will be seeing the potential everywhere you ever write something extended.
My phone recently updated to Android 12 and Gboard doesn't work well for me anymore. I switched to the Samsung Keyboard and there's a lot to like about it except for the "voice typing". It does get things somewhat accurate (I'm hoping it's learning and improving) and while it does input some punctuation, it always inputs the word "period" instead of the punctuation mark. Pretty frustrating to stop nearly every sentence to correct that.
We definitely have some setting differences. Under "General Management" (I don't have "System") I was able to find "Keyboard list and default" and under that I saw that Samsung Voice input was checked along with "Google voice typing", "Google Voice Typing (Legacy)" and "Gboard". Unchecking "Samsung voice input" now allows me to bring up Google voice typing when I long press the space bar without losing the Samsung keyboard. I bow to your superior knowledge.
The average person types between 35 and 40 words per minute, but that same person can likely speak at 100 to 130 words per minute. Writing is clearly not as effective as speaking in terms of raw output. The computer industry has spent a lot of time refining keyboards instead of enhancing voice recognition software, until recently.
Dragon by Nuance is arguably the best voice dictation on the market, however, it is expensive. Years ago, I did a product review of it and found it to be unbelievably good. If you are in the medical, legal, or a few other professions, it can be worth the cost. The consumer version is around $150.
Overall, I found that this short test convincing enough that I plan to do far more voice dictation in the near and long term. I was bummed that having a Google Doc open in the Firefox browser did not allow the voice typing tool to work. Again, only in Chrome. But Windows 10 Speech Recognition did work in Firefox. Mostly, if you find yourself tired of typing for health reasons or plain old efficiency's sake, give these voice typing tools a try. They are free and fast and fun to use. Plus, they only take a few minutes to set up. No elaborate voice training needed (although it is said that can improve accuracy in both).
