    Voice to text

    Hey.

    I LOVE this feature, but all of the sudden, when I click on the mic icon, it comes up with a slash through it.
    This happened shortly after it kept telling me that the service was unavailable, or something like that.

    Is this a local service or does it need to hook up with the cloud?

    Thanks.

    Haven't expericenced this problem yet, but the only thing I could think of is whether you are running a task killer/manager. If so be sure not to kill the voice search process or something similar. Other than that *shrug*

    Hopefully someone else may have a better idea.

    How do I do a simple reset?
    Is it more than just rebooting?

    This may be obvious, but it happened to me...
    Make sure you're not in airplane mode.
    The voice app only works if you're connected...

    Question

    can i get it to take "text" more than one sentence at a time? i've never had this feature before but i can only seem to get one sentence out before it goes away and this seems silly. am i doing something wrong?

    Voice to text translation is performed on a Google server. You need a connection.

    Wendy, there isn't a tiny secretary taking dictation on the other end of the line. As my daddy used to say about dogs dancing, "You don't ask how well they do it; it's amazing they do it at all."

    The speech to text feature is designed to take a few seconds of an audible signal, translate it, allow you to determine if it's correct, and proceed. Given the error rate in this sort of software/hardware combination, you wouldn't want to have to make multiple corrections in an entire paragraph.

    I've found you can do more than one sentence by saying"period or "question mark"

    You have to hit the microphone button again to reactivate voice-text again. I too am fascinated with this feature but have found it best to accept the short comings and familiar yourself with the workarounds.

    In other words...practice makes almost perfect
