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.

Supports a customizable list of replaceable words and punctuation for voice input; continuous speech recognition; letter capitalization control; undo command for the last speech input, triggered by a button or by voice.

Can recognize speech in online and in offline mode (offline mode not available for some devices and languages).

Notes can be tagged and filtered by tags.

Contains words and characters counter. Convenient for bilingual voice input. Exports notes to Documents or Download folder or sends them to any text program. Can import text files from file managers or Google drive.

Allows you to save backup copies of notes with a customizable history depth.

When you save notes, you can automatically upload them to Google Drive.

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

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.

this is probably the most easy to use dictation app I've come across. although it's not as accurate as the mobile dragon app, it never crashes and never loses any of my dictation. I only give it 4 stars because it lacks a lot of accuracy on punctuation. I would say it's about 95% accurate on words, but only about 75% on punctuation.

This is the best app when it comes to voice-to-text! However, I'm experiencing a new issue when I type. Where, after typing a sentence or two, it'll jump automatically to the top of the page; and I have to scroll back down everything to resume my writing. This didn't use to happen with my previous versions if NoteBook. So, I just uninstalled the app, that's why I'm here. I will reinstall and see if the same problem exists.
