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).

Supports auto punctuation for major spoken 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.

Nice idea. I like being able to easily adjust the words on the fly while the app is converting my speech but it just isnt accurate enough. I spent way too much time going back and adjusting what was picked up incorrectly. Would be easier to type and probably quicker. Will return to this when the speech recognition improves.

Way more affordable than Otter (sorry Otter, you just are NOT affordable!) - and, on first try, apparently just as good. Dark mode ought not to be a premium feature, users should be able to take it for granted. But all other features which are behind the paywall, fair enough. I'm looking at voice to text notetaking because I broke my wrist, but if I find I keep using Voice Notebook, I'll be buying (and adding that fifth star if it's then ad-free). A great relief after testing a dozen such apps!

I've been looking for such an app for years and I've tried many. This one is the best. It works with many languages and it manages to record accurately in the languages I use. I find it hard to dictate the punctuation and quite often when I say "comma", it writes down the word. It is me, I just need more practice. Thank you for the lovely app!
