About this app

SpeechTexter is a speech-to-text app designed to help users convert spoken words into text quickly and easily. It is a highly useful tool for individuals who are always on the go, such as journalists, students, and business people, who need to take notes quickly and efficiently.

The app has a simple and intuitive interface. Once you open the app, select your language, press the microphone button and start speaking. The app will then transcribe your speech into text in real-time, allowing you to see your words appear on the screen as you speak.

In addition to its speech-to-text capabilities, SpeechTexter also includes a number of other useful features. For example, you can edit your transcribed text using a built-in text editor, which allows you to make corrections, add punctuation, and format your text as needed. You can also share your transcribed text directly from the app, either as a text file or via email or social media.

Features:
- creation of text notes by voice;
- custom word replacement (e.g. spoken word "question mark" can be converted into written "?", "new paragraph" into "new line" (Enter key), etc;
- more than 70 languages supported.

>> System requirements: <<
1) Google app installed on your device (can be found here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox).
2) Google speech recognition enabled as the default speech recognizer.
3) Internet connectivity.

If the speech recognition accuracy is low make sure you are connected to the internet and there is no background noise, you speak loudly and clearly.

For results with higher accuracy you can try SpeechTexter’s web version by visiting the website at https://www.speechtexter.com using Chrome browser for desktop (not mobile). Other browsers are not supported.

I use this all the time, in 3 languages. Things I love: it auto-saves, there is access to the keyboard, and also (without opening the keyboard) to punctuation, carriage return, and backspacing; it recognises my languages and (mostly) correctly spells words; it's easy and intuitive to use; I can easily copy and/or share the whole text. Things I don't love: sometimes it's slow to switch to the microphone; it sometimes drops words; random capitalisation of words; you have to speak clearly and slowly for an accurate transcription, although it happily picks up comments from nearby; there's no undo/redo function and you can't backspace to delete single letters from a word for correcting--the backspace deletes whole words only.

It's simple. It uses Google's great text to speech engine and has a customizable dictionary. And, as gravy, it leaves the keyboard on so you can make quick corrections without turning off speech recognition. While it seems like any dictation/speech to text app used by its developers regularly would include these features, this is the only one that does. Bravo. My only complaint is that I can't pay for an ad-free version.

This app is very buggy and unstable. It does not have any auto save on a timed interval and instead on exit. The app will crash after you dictated to it for too long, and then you will lose all your unsaved work. Chances are, you will not be stopping talking to manually save your work, so it is likely that you will lose all your progress in a note. I would not recommend.
