Another high tech frustration creation. It's fantastic how it stops two words into a sentence. I use it whenever I need to send a message two words at a time. ( Not recommended if you enjoy complete sentences. Especially if you're fancy and use punctuation. ) And thanks to it's new never-ending search mode, my battery life is minimal and I get more exercise looking for my charger. I wish I could track my progress but I'm using the Samsung Health app. ;) Looking forward to the next update!

I'm actually writing this review using this app just to show you how terrible it is it can't tell if a sentence is ending versus the sentence beginning ., or a space it has trouble conjugating verbs and words just makes whatever decision it wants to and for all intents and purposes is the worst app ever as I'm rereading this I can see that it's missed half the words I've even said. Just

They keep new and improving it and It gets worse. Find dictating this and see the errors that it makes? I can't dictate punctuation marks anymore. For example comma or quote. This is supposed to allow me to reduce keyboard use so that I can text faster. The app frequently confuses your and you're. And wants to capitalize everything. I think i'm gonna try and alternative.

When is speech texting it only puts down two words and then stops or part of a sentence then you have to redo it sometimes it won't and you have to put it in manually anyway. Not a big fan of the speech recognition app. Also I do not like the fact that when I put a word in that is spelled correctly it changes it to what it thinks it should be.

Presuming this is part of Google's talk to text, profound changes are needed. Each and every time I update Google or Chrome karma (good example here, as I said comma clearly, and it interpreteded it as karma), talk to text gets worse. I don't review apps, however using voice to text is dangerous unless you proofread first, and who has time to do this own (on) most texts. I pointed out 2 examples, and there were plenty more examples. 500 = not enough, as I needed 600 characters at least

I actually waited 5 years to get my new phone and the speech recognition app has gone from very good to horrible. I thought technology was supposed to progress not get completely unusable. I wish there was a way. I could install another app. Not to mention whoever writes this program has no idea what proper punctuation and spelling should be. the suggestions of what should be used a second grader would know that's incorrect.
