Does A Voice To Text App Exist?

There's probably something really simple already on my phone to do this but I just can't think right now. I've downloaded a few "notes" apps but none of them did what I wanted.

I work for a realtor and I have to go into properties and take a bunch of notes about each one. I have been recording what I see then playing it back from my phone but what I really want is this.....

I want to be able to record my notes and have it turn into text either as I'm speaking into my phone or after I get back to my office, I can LOOK at the notes I took.

Thanks
 
If your phone is capable of to do TTS/STT (Text To Speech/Speech To Text), then pretty much any app will do. I use a note taking app that will allow this. I use "Color note" for note taking.

I already have ColorNote installed. How do I get the voice to text to work? Is it in the ColorNote app itself?
 
Maybe I'm not explaining this right. I want to be able speak into my phone the address of a house, say some notes and save.

Example. "2568 Main Street. 3 bedrooms. 2 baths. granite counters. hardwood floors. etc."
Go to another property and do the same thing. Do this for 4 properties.
Save each of the notes for each property. When I get back to my office, I can open my ColorNote or a different notepad, and SEE the notes I recorded.

There's a 'mic' key on the keyboard. Bottom row, 3rd from left.

I see. I actually tried that but it seemed kind of useless. Whenever I would say something like... hardwood floors. I would have to 'OK' it and then press the mic button again. I would have to do that for each item I speak. I would really like to walk around the room while speaking into my phone and then save it all at once.

I would like to take my time recording then save it.

I'm using swiftkey. Maybe that's not as good as the default keyboard?

Voice recognition has improved a lot in the last 2 years, but it's still far from perfect. It's still 'in beta', afaic.

I agree. I love using voice recognition. I'll just go back to using my phone recorder and play it back when I get back to the office. Just thought it there would be a simple app for voice to text since it's easy to use text to voice. :)
 
Install Go Keyboard. There is a going voice to text function. Just tap Reyes icon that looks like a microphone.
