texting with speech?

[bb70548]

Hi
My name is Brenda and purchased my Samsung Captivate about 2 weeks ago.
I was told that you can speak to text, I did the setting for text to speech. No were do they have a microphone to speak to text. Can anyone tell me how?

Hi Brenda - Glad your onboard with the Android Forums - You might want to check the forum for your Samsung Captivate, I know the droid X has a mic icon that gets you started in text - Check the link below for your phone.

If you change your keyboard to the android one there is a mic icon...I don't believe the other keyboards have it

there is probably another way to do it but you can use android keyboard and they have speech to text , the mic button is near bottom of keyboard near the spacebar. Also theres an app called handcent i think that you can do voice to text messaging as well.

I used it when driving but click on driving mode then your text, email etc.. will read them out loud to you

Download "Vlingo". it's an app that will help you. All you say is stuff like:

Text John Doe Message "what time is dinner tonight?"

and it will bring it up. You just click "send".

Handcent will let you speak your text messages as well, and I believe can also "read" your received text messages to you.
