“Speechify is absolutely brilliant. Growing up with dyslexia this would have made a big difference. I’m so glad to have it today.“
Sir Richard Branson
I was not very satisfied with this app. I use other apps that pickup audio from my surroundings such as SoundHound and they do it with extreme accuracy. I can sit in a noisy restaurant with music playing over the sound system (And at a decent distance away from the nearest speaker) at low volume and it can recognize the song playing even from back in the 50's and 60's! This app, I could barely get it to recognize speech in my car with the radio turned down very low. When it did recognize speech, it was so inaccurate, nobody would be able to decipher afterwards what it was that was said. I had gotten this app with the idea of sitting in class to use it to pickup the instructor during lectures... I did give the app the benefit of a doubt and try it in class. It wouldn't even pickup what the instructor was saying and he was only 5 feet away! This app may work alright if you have a headset microphone and are dictating directly into it but if you plan on using it for any other reason, based off of my experience, forget it.
AnonymousEven if you don't feel like typing, take notes! You can save a note as text by simply speaking it. This notepad app was created to let you quickly and easily record your ideas. And it makes it simple to maintain that organization.

Simply slide out your slide-out keyboard to begin typing if you have one. * Accepts shared plain text from other apps. * Notes with password protection are encrypted after the first 20 characters. This enables you to locate the note and search for it while having the remainder of the file protected using the AES encryption standard. The US government and banks both employ this encryption standard. * Star-filtered notes about the stars. * Sort your list by color and color-code your notes. * Sort notes into categories. * Deleted notes are put in the trash so you can try to get them back. Additional Features: * Backup and restore for SD cards. enables you to backup all of your notes and saves them securely to your SD card. * After recording your voice message, click the Continue button to add more spoken text if necessary.

By long-pressing a note and choosing "Change Tab Color," you may create a colored note tab. * Take simple notes. A notepad app that doesn't require you to create an account or upload all of your notes to a server is preferred by many users. ListNote doesn't require an account. You keep all of your notes on your own device. * Software for dictation. Your thoughts can be readily and swiftly written down. The outcome can then be edited as you would with any note-taking program. You can inject speech wherever in the text when updating notes in text view, and you can even undo the most recent speech input if it didn't go as planned. * Protected notes. You can make private, secure notes. These confidential notes are password-protected locked. It's simple to hide text from prying eyes when you lock a note.
I got this app only few months ago for two reasons and I love it. Sometimes I use it at work and today I am using it even more after my Cochlear Implant surgery done this morning. My left ear is deaf since birth and I have severe profound hearing loss on the right ear so for know I can not hear anything until my sound processor get activated. This is why I love this app, it helps me to communicate with others. Thank you so much for making this great app available to everyone. 122 people found this review helpful

This app does work on Kindle Fire but you need to search Google for the voice search apk file. One of the other reviews mentions the exact file name. As to this app it's fun but needs work. Someone else already gave a good overview so I'll just say that the most glaring flaw is the apps ability to understand you. It will often put the wrong word if you say something too fast or not clear enough. If you don't continue talking after a certain amount of time it stops recording even if you're not done. Mainly though it's like auto correct but it's listening to you talk instead of type. I think someone who speaks with a heavy accent would find this app hard to use. Although it's really fun to speak fake words and gibberish and see what real words it chooses. It can only put real words. It won't put exactly what you say. So if you start talking about Harry Potter and use some of those unique words from those books and movies it won't be able to. It will put what real words match most closely by how it sounds.

I downloaded this app on my Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and it works great! All I needed was a simple app to take notes quicker than I could by jotting them down on paper, and it does precisely that. I really like that you can color code your notes, as well as the fact that you can edit them by switching back and forth between voice and text with ease. The only downfall I have seen is that it does not use punctuation properly, or at all rather. If you're looking to record something and then later copy/paste it to another source, it will definitely require proofreading. But, I was not in need of anything fancy with multiple options, so, this suits my needs almost perfectly.

Usefull app to dictate and transcribe to text. Not completely accurate but just a bit better than the transcription software in Windows Seven on my laptop . Program has bells and whistles to save transcripts in different folders and color code them. You can also type memos. The pro version does not seem to have any additional useful features. My complaint is that you must have wifi active to run the transcription. Program is useful for my wife to learn to pronounce English words properly.

I have a very soft voice because of my disability. This program actually interprets my voice to text the best out of all the one's I've tried. Being able to utilize the program while off grid is a bonus beyond compare. Being on a low budget I definitely only use the free option for this app. Taking that into consideration. I know there's going to be adds. The amount of space this app gives the adds is easily tolerable.

I've only had this app. Installed for about 10 minutes so far. One thing I hope you can fix is the extremely annoying sound the microphone constantly makes. I needed to pause (just a few seconds) to gather my thoughts. But it was deemed impossible with that constant beeping. It's very distracting and very loud. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE fix this issue. I really want to use this app. But that noise is a real deal breaker for me.
- Leslie Barb
I apologize for the first review. I had been quick to rate without seeing the app the response that was given pointed out the items of interest which now I see are perfect. This app has a wide variety of options. The ability to change format as well as color of header, text, background and style of font. Seperate files any way you like, many languages to use. You move the mic if you like and even set it to hear as soon as you open app. And more.
