Entering text by speaking
You can use voice input to enter text by speaking. Voice input is an
experimental feature that uses Google’s speech-recognition service,
so you must have a data connection on a mobile or Wi-Fi network
to use it.
To enter text by speaking
You can enter text by speaking in most places where text is
allowed to be introduced.
1. Touch a text field.
2. Touch the
Microphone Key on the keyboard (if you set
the Microphone Key to appear on the symbols keyboard,
touch the
Symbols Key first).
3. When prompted to “Speak now,” speak what you want to
enter.
Say “comma,” “period,” “question mark,” “exclamation
mark,” or “exclamation point” to enter punctuation.
When you pause, what you spoke is transcribed by the speech-
recognition service and entered in the text field, underlined. You can
touch the
Delete Key to erase the underlined text. If you start
typing or entering more text by speaking, the underline disappears.
You can edit the text that you enter by typing or speaking.
