Help speech to text

[onetwin]

Please Help Me!!! I'm new to smartphones and I'm looking to be able to use speech to text on messaging. My husband's Motorola Bravo does this and I love this freature cause there is time I not able to type. So please help. I have the HTC Inspire 4G on AT&T network.

When you open the text message app and tap the box to start typing on the keyboard in the lower left you will see a button with a microphone and under it it will say EN. Long press that button until a gray box appears with the microphone pic then start talking

Googles search feature also has voice to text capability.

BamBamBam that is the sound of me banging my head against the wall. Oh how simple of a fix, I wish all problems was that easy. I want to send you a BIG Thank you. I kept touching that little microphone button but I keep getting the keyboard selection. I just need to learn that some buttons have several purposes. I guess I better take a closer look at my phone. Again Thank You.

It seems that the speech to text feature is dependent upon internet access, at least, when I'm in an area where I don't have any bars it doesn't work. I wonder if there's something we can install locally so it works in out of coverage areas.

Yeah that feature does use data so if your connection is lost the feature won't work. If someone figures out a way to make it work without data please post it cause I would love to know
