Does anybody know of a voice to text app that does a decent job of punctuation?

Right now I'm using SwiftKey, and its punctuation capabilities during voice to text are extremely limited. All I can make it do are periods, commas, exclamation marks, and question marks!

It would be nice if I could also do punctuation such as semicolons, colons, dashes, hyphens, and especially commands like new line or paragraph.

So, is there a better app out there then SwiftKey? Or, maybe I can teach SwiftKey to recognize this punctuation?

The Google STT includes period, comma, question mark , exclamation point,, and maybe a few others. It also includes new line which works by saying new line, but you have to say it after period. You can say any number of new line commands after period and it will insert any number of new lines.

I have Swype keyboard which I like for swiping, , but I prefer to use Google stt over dragon for stt (maybe just familiarity....I'd like only one stt everywhere on my phone and Google stt is alreadyused in google voice search/voice commands). So I have my Swype keyboardset up to launch Google STT instead of dragon. To do that I use an xposed module called Swype tweaks
