I am finally registered so I can ask this question officially. I have a new Galaxy S10 and the talk to text is a mess. It does not matter if I use Samsung or Google Voice, they are equally bad. ---
When I try to use talk to text, it will hang there as if listening, but does not type, or it only types one or two words and just stops. If I restart it to resume dictation, it may erase what it already typed and start over. Or it may just sort of hang there and take several seconds of doing nothing until abruptly typing the sentence all at once. ---
Sometimes it seems to invent words or ad words I never said, especially at the end of sentences. And it seems to struggle with punctuation, often spelling out the word period or translating comma as common. -- I also get an error where talk to text freezes, makes a booping sound and a message appears that reads reads, "An error has occurred, please try again later." ---
I have tried recording my own voice and playing it back and I sound normal. The built-in microphone is not missing any words. I do not have any sort of heavy regional or ethnic accent. But talk to text has performed nearly all of these glitches while dictating this post. ---
If you reply, please make note of all the details I have given. I experience these problems here, in Facebook and Facebook Messenger, in texting, in emails and in Samsung Notes. So it is across multiple apps. ---
The only other detail I can think to add is that I live in a rural area, but I never have an issue with dropped phone calls, so I don't know if that matters. It seems just as crappy when I go into town. Should I just take the dang phone back to the Verizon store and complain? ---
My previous phone was a Galaxy S6 Mini and while talk to text was quirky, at least it was functional. Now, this post has taken me at least 15 minutes to composed by talk to text.
