Entering text by speaking
You can use voice input to enter text by speaking. Voice input is an experimental
feature that uses Google’s speech-recognition service, so you must have a data
connection on a mobile or Wi-Fi network to use it.
Turn on voice input
If the onscreen keyboard does not display a Microphone key , voice input is not
turned on or you have it configured to display on the symbols keyboard.
1 Press Home , press Menu , then touch Settings > Language &
keyboard > Android keyboard.
2 Touch Voice input.
3 Touch the option for where you want the Microphone key (on the main keyboard or
the Symbols keyboard). Or touch Off to turn off voice input.
Enter text by speaking

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 keyboard (if you set the Microphone key to
appear on the symbols keyboard, touch the Symbol key first).
