Voice to text without Google - Is it possible?

[schwim]

Hi there everyone!

As a learning exercise, I'm trying my S7 Active out without any Google apps.. at least the ones I could remove. Everything has been going well and I'm finding ways around a lot of the stuff I no longer have but one thing I can't figure out is a voice recognition or VTT solution. I use my voice for texts, emails, browser searches and more and it would be tough to lose. I've installed Dragon VTT but it doesn't seem to allow the option outside of it's app. I've installed swiftkey but it wants you to install the Google app to use it's VTT ability.

Is there a way for me to have VTT capability in all my apps via keyboard without the Google app or am I out of luck?

Thanks for your time!

XDA has one on 6.0 without Google. Used it on MXPE

Hi there and thanks for the reply, unfortunately installing another ROM is not possible for me as this phone is locked. I've already stripped all of the Google apps from the phone that's possible, I am just looking for a voice to text solution that will work with something like the Swift keyboard.
