Active voice dictation

[bergeronjc#WN]

Is the active voice dictation I saw in those ICS commercials on YouTube (right before the Galaxy Nexus came out) available on the One X?

If so, how do I use it? The normal voice dictation is on there, but it doesn't act like the commercial; it acts like the voice dictation that's been on Android phones forever.

I use Swype as a keyboard replacement. Nuance purchased Swype and they make the Dragon Naturally speaking product. You could try Swype which includes their Dragon speech recognition or the Dragon Go product. They do not appear to be full fledged dictation products, but they do allow longer sentences and are very good at speech to text.

That's not the same thing, but thanks.

I'm talking about that commercial where that person is walking down the street, talking into their Android phone and the words show up as the person is talking...Did I miss the article/post on how that is exclusive to the Nexus line of phones?

I figured it out...I suppose that's what the search feature in the forums is for...

When you have the keyboard up and ready to type, an option appears in the notification bar for the keyboard. Just tap on that and it will open a pop up that allows you to choose between all the input methods installed on your device. Google Voice Typing is the one that allows you to talk to type...It doesn't work as good as the normal voice dictation built into all Android devices.
