      TalkType is the first voice-centric keyboard (currently available in US and Canada and supports English only). Powered by Baidu’s Deep Speech 2 recognition system, TalkType provides an extremely accurate voice to text dictation experience that will boost your input speed to the limit!

      Many of you told us that our speech engine is better than Google Voice Typing. Especially with auto punctuation and continuous recognition, we are focus on optimizing and improving the voice experience in every single way instead of put voice as a side feature. You've never realized how easy, fast, natural and comfortable typing is with your voice! According to a research study by Stanford, our DS2 speech system is up to 3 times faster with an error rate 20% lower than typing on a touch screen keyboard.

      TalkType works on ANY apps that allow input entry. Use your voice whether you are texting using SMS, Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp, writing notes in Google Keep or EverNote, composing an email or long article without using your fat fingers!

      While presenting the best voice dictate interface, we haven't ignored the regular alphabet keyboard either. TalkType provides a fully functional keyboard with Swipe, Emoji, GIF sharing, themes and more. You don't have to give up your favorite keyboard features in order to get the best voice experience!

      Finally, TalkType is always free, no ads and no in-app purchases!


      Features:
      Talk to Type: Faster hands-free typing with voice input. Simply tap the microphone to dictate. The best-in-class voice recognition provides you a fast, accurate and seamless dictation experience.

      Automatic Punctuation: TalkType is able to predict and add the right punctuations, including commas, periods and even question marks, automatically without you even needing to pause.

      Continuous Recognition Dictation: TalkType can keep the mic on and keep listening for as long as you want. With your preferences, feel free to take long pauses between sentences, gather your thoughts and dictate your idea whenever you need. (Go to Settings -> Voice Input -> Auto Stop to change the preferences)

      Voice Command: Instead of adding punctuations automatically, you can also use voice commands to input punctuations such as “comma”, “period”, "Question mark", "Exclamation point", "Next Line", "Next Paragraph", "Smiley Face" -> 😊 and "Sad Face" -> 😞

      Word Suggestion: Tap underlined words to view the suggested alternatives. It enables a quick correction of words via dictation and replacement.

      QuickShare: Browse, search and share GIFs from Giphy or restaurants and places from Yelp. Or even share your current location. More excitements coming soon!

      Trackpad: Move quickly between words and select. It helps you navigate, select and edit text more efficiently. For single-word selection, place one finger on the trackpad and move to navigate to select words quickly. For multi-word selection, place two fingers on the trackpad and move to navigate to select multiple words or sentences.

      Swipe: Can't talk? You can swipe to enter text! Just swipe your finger from the first word to the last word. (only available on non-tablet devices)

      Beautiful Themes: Beautiful material themes to make your keyboard shine. (only available on OS 5.0+ devices)


      TalkType will ALWAYS protect your personal information and NEVER collect your personal data like credit card numbers or password. The system will always prompt a security warning whenever you enable any third party keyboards in settings. For details, please look at our privacy policy http://talktype.baidu.com/privacy

      We will be continuously improving TalkType! If there is any feedback or issues, please email us at talktype.support@baidu.com or visit: http://talktype.baidu.com/

      If you enjoy TalkType, please leave a nice review!

      It does what it says works very well. However, from a design point of view, there is more than enough memory and processor power in a cell phone. To maintain a complete. None internet connected speech recognition program. It is a shame it uses so much. Data time

      I am using this app as I speak right now I'm basically screaming the volume at highest level and this app still is lagging i'm deleting this app. At least google voice will print out what you are trying to say and you don't have to scream
      I work in a setting with quite a lot of background noise and a lot of nonsense will get typed. So you have to go to manual. Need a filter for background noise... Other than that its awesome...😁

      Why does this app repeats everything twice or even 3 times. Seems this app is definitely better than okay google app, but it started crashing 2 days after using it. I hope they fix this glitch but still better than google speech to text app. Thate

      All in all this is a great app. It seems to have gotten better the more I use it. For the most part, the words that I speak are typed precisely. It has been an extreme time saver.

      This app doesn't adapt to your way of texting very well. The OEM keyboard adapts better. This one doesn't adapt to the change of spelling and suggestions after a few letters. Could be better.

      I'm definitely loving this app, although at times it will repeat statements 3 or so times, force me a lot of editing or at times crash. But other than that it is a great app.

      I downloaded it yesterday, and the talk to type feature hasn't worked AT ALL! And I've sent a couple of texts to you requesting some assistance, but, as yet, received no response. I guess it's back to GOOGLE, which I am not a fan of.
