Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

A simple to use app for dictating text which can be sent as an SMS or Email or copied and pasted into another app. The app uses Androids built-in Speech Recogniser to turn speech into text. The app is also capable of speaking text out using your built-in TTS Engine. A new innovative sliding tab design makes it even easier to use the app. You are able to send dictations to contacts from your phonebook (permission required).

Speech To Text APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Speech To Text APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 97c67a5cdb6116216e180df4526e695c.
