Type text by speaking

You can speak to enter text in most places that you can enter text 
with the onscreen keyboard.

1.  Touch a text field, or a location in text you’ve already entered 

in a text field.

2.  Touch the   Microphone key on the onscreen keyboard.
3.  When you see the microphone image, speak what you want 

to type.

say “comma,” “period,” “question mark,” “exclamation mark,” or 
“exclamation point” to enter punctuation.

When you pause, what you spoke is transcribed by the speech-rec-
ognition service and entered in the text field, underlined. You can 
touch the delete key to erase the underlined text. if you start typ-
ing or entering more text by speaking, the underline disappears.

To improve processing of your voice input, Google may record a 
few seconds of ambient background noise in temporary memory 
at any time. This recording remains on the device only fleetingly 
and is not sent to Google.
