About this app

The speech to text application that allows you to take voice notes and save them locally or send them to cloud services. Suitable for communication with deaf people.

Has a widget for convenient start. Integrated with Google Assistant, note recording can be started and stopped by voice.

The notes can be read aloud by android TTS engine.

Requirements for work:
1. The application uses default Android speech recognizer and optimized to use voice input from Google, so the device (phone or tablet) must have Google speech recognizer App installed and updated(!)
2. To improve the speech recognition it is desirable to have an Internet connection and also need to install a language pack for local voice recognition. Without a local language pack, if the Internet is lost, the application will stop and give an error. To install the package, read the application help.

Ratings and reviews

I like this app, as it is perfect for taking verbal notes. You can speak a few words or 30 sentences, it records them all. I like that I can stop and restart the recording, but above all I like the fact that one can edit manually what was recorded, so that in the end everything looks and sounds clean. Most of the time then I just copy and paste it into my office suite. There is really nothing to complain for a free app like this one.

I have to make a lot of corrections when I put it Into the word document. Also the cursor moves around while I'm speaking so the sentence becomes out of order and distorted. I have used transcribing apps and none seem to be accurate. I say client and the word that it transcribed is either plant, climb, clint, current. It's terrible. I'm still looking for something more accurate.

This is pretty good. My favorite part is that it doesn't turn off when you have long pauses. Works best if you do a dictation, then paste into another app for editing - as this app will constantly drag you to end of the entire document. Of course, if you do the edit in this Voice Notebook app, you have a better chance at training it and getting better and better transcriptions. I will see how it goes.
