Speech to Text Doesn't Work too Good

[monicakm]

I have a Galaxy S5 phone (KK 4.4.4) and the speech to text works like a champ but on my GN/2014, not so much. I'm using the Google speech to text on my phone and I think I am on the tablet. How do I find out for sure and what do I look for to see if I can update it?
Thanks

Go to settings, language and input and see if they Google speech to text is checked.

Under Language and Input, Google Voice Typing is selected. I was hoping there was an update that would improve the STT feature. My S5 is sooo much better.

What keyboard are you using on your Note Tablet?

Gotta agree, my Galaxy S4 the speech to text is a great alternative to typing, about 90% accurate. On the GN 2014 10.1 its not even functional, with a less that 50% accuracy. I have given up on trying to use it.

Under Language and Input, I show Samsung Keyboard. Is there a Google keyboard and could that be the problem?

Try installing the Google Keyboard and see if that installs the speech to text application as well..

I installed the Google keyboard and gave the speech to text a good workout. I can confidently say it was much more accurate than the Samsung keyboard (even tho I'm not typing, I'm talking!)...hummmm. Thanks itguyjax

dianehelen, using the Google keyboard has GREATLY increased the speech to text feature on our tablet! Give it a try. It's as accurate as my Galaxy S5 phone.
