Speech To Essay is a voice-to-text app designed to convert your speech into text quickly and easily, with additional hotkey support. For fast and efficient voice-to-text conversion, you can press keys such as period or comma while dictating. The common keys used — period, comma, question mark, colon, exclamation mark, open parentheses, close parentheses, and new line — are ready to use during dictation. You can also edit your note using a conventional keyboard. Simply type or modify paragraphs as you would in a normal text editor. After finishing your essay or note, you can copy and paste it into your email or any other text editor. Features: • Select voice input languages (English, Spanish, French, etc., as supported by your device) • View word count for your essay or note • Set font type and font size • Save and load essays from your library • Rename or delete essays from the library Dictate Efficiently: • Keep your device close to your mouth and speak into the microphone of your iPhone or iPad. • Apple earbuds that come with an iPhone have an inline mic that offers better speech recognition. • For third-party headphones with mics, keep the mic close to your mouth. • Speak clearly—not too slowly or too quickly—to reduce recognition errors. • Keep your dictation segments under 30 seconds for the best results. Additional Tips: • You can say commands such as “comma,” “period,” “hyphen,” and others to include punctuation or symbols in your dictation. • You can say “new line” to start a new line, or “new paragraph” to add a double line break.
