found this by accident !

In normal mode the qwerty letters are quite close and a miss or two is easy done ! so I was using landscape which is a lot better

I happened to see the mic icon on the android keyboard mmmhh ? pressed it and up came a speak now box ? jesus this looks good so in my cornish accent said a short text message and it was word perfect ! heck this is good and works really fast as well.

Ok i'm hooked now on android phones well v2.3.3 gingerbread

tip
the mic will be greyed out until either you have data turned on or wifi, it works on the google voice server update, so needs either to be on

also works on emails

Sorry if I'm covering ground regulars here already know, but I'm new to android and maybe this will help someone new to android desire s out

 

I only posted it may 27th 2011 as phone is new to me.

In settings data needs to be turned on or wifi without either one the speech to text wont work.
