HI I bought a tmobile ZTE concord for a senior family member of mine.
She has a texting plan but NOT a data plan. ALso, she does NOT have wifi at home.
One of the things I wanted in the phone that I got her is the use of the microphone on the android keyboard so that she can voice to text feature since texting would be easier for her by speaking so it converts to text because of her arthritis in her hands .
Though I have figured it out for the most part, it appears that this voice to text feature does not work UNLESS you have a data plan OR using wifi.
WHen I tested it in a wifi area The voice feature worked as it should.
Here is my question. Is there an app something I can download so that she can use voice to text?
I have searched for apps but dont know what to get.
I appreaciate all the ideas you can give. I dont want to root her phone.
Thanks in advance
