About this app

The speech to text application that allows you to take voice notes and save them locally or send them to cloud services. Suitable for communication with deaf people.

Supports a customizable list of replaceable words and punctuation for voice input; continuous speech recognition; letter capitalization control; undo command for the last speech input, triggered by a button or by voice.

Can recognize speech in online and in offline mode (offline mode not available for some devices and languages).

Notes can be tagged and filtered by tags.

Contains words and characters counter. Convenient for bilingual voice input. Exports notes to Documents or Download folder or sends them to any text program. Can import text files from file managers or Google drive.

Allows you to save backup copies of notes with a customizable history depth.

When you save notes, you can automatically upload them to Google Drive.

Has a widget for convenient start. Integrated with Google Assistant, note recording can be started and stopped by voice.

The notes can be read aloud by android TTS engine.

Requirements for work:
1. The application uses default Android speech recognizer and optimized to use voice input from Google, so the device (phone or tablet) must have Google speech recognizer App installed and updated(!)
2. To improve the speech recognition it is desirable to have an Internet connection and also need to install a language pack for local voice recognition. Without a local language pack, if the Internet is lost, the application will stop and give an error. To install the package, read the application help.

It is a very admirable experience, using this app. Only flaws are: it still does not recognise certain english words and misrepresents them, for example: it writes "do" when I say "though", "10" when I say "thus" and "tu" when I say "too". Some other words it has problem with are: "uttered", and words like second, third which it writes as "II" and "III". And I don't know how to start brackets or quotation marks. Otherwise it is a great help.

Using this since almost 2 years. It's flawless. Only thing is speech recognition has some issues. There should be also an option for bold/italics writing. Edited: one major drawback is there is no facility to import notes. If you change your phone, all notes are gone. you gave me solution but there is a lot of hassle

Go to General settings - UI settings and make Export all notes button visible. After you export your notes copy them to your new phone. To import note in new phone either open it in file manager by voice notebook or Go to General settings - UI settings and show import note button and use it.

I love this app! One internal editing command that I didn't see listed but tried actually worked. It was "New line." When I say it, VN moves the cursor down to the next line. Besides the uses others have mentioned, I have made a list of people's names that I remember at random times so I can refer back without forgetting them again...

New line is in the replacements list for en-US. Be aware to make the replacement list too big that can slow down the App.
