[tcseacliff]

the M 8 has the Google voice for maps but, does tis phone have speech to text for writing e-mails and texts? or do I have to download an app for that?

I know on my keyboard there is a mic button, I just hold it long enough to activate the talk feature and then yap away. No special app required, do da man.

It requires network access to use. If my network is sketchy, it won't work. I also talk slow and try to articulate, otherwise the results are comical, or frustrating....

No, mfreeland, Google Voice to Text does NOT require network access to use. (Unless there's something magically different between my phone and yours. Mine's a Galaxy S3. Yours?)

I do not have a dataplan.......ergo, no internet connection unless I'm using wi-fi..............either at home or in Macdonalds, etc...............but................

MY GOOGLE VOICE TO TEXT WORKS FINE DICTATING TEXT MESSAGES WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY.........SO, you stand corrected.

Voice to text does NOT require network access! (Let's stop THAT rumour right here and now!)
