JUNE 2022: Seems fixed finally! I rely on this app daily. It's been working well with excellent text correction once context realized. Needs better formatting, i.e., new paragraph. PRIOR: Horribly buggy for months! 1. Issue with constantly downloading. 2. Since my Galaxy S10+ upgraded to Android 12, the keyboard is half black & white in dark mode and there are 2 options: voice and legacy. Only legacy displays correctly. 3. Prediction is off with random, incorrect uppercase of words. Please fix!

No longer does it try to update endlessly! However I too have the" oh,, bug I see mentioned elsewhere. I used to be fine, for the longest time, and then suddenly started doing it. Still, a functional app, as much as any speech to text functions can be. This review was written using text-to-speech only. All typos are the work of the speech services by Google, but it seems to be doing pretty good!

I have encountered almost every problem in the reviews. Endless notification update,never updates. ( Update to this post; initially prediction is better, speed is improved, text to speech is better/faster. Seems to be more accurate. Doesn't seem to be any lag. Give me time to test drive it and could change to a 5 ⭐.

I'm cautiously optimistic here, and hope calling attention to this doesn't jinx it, BUT... I finally decided to click "update" again after letting this sit unacknowledged for two months. So far, on three different devices, no further stuck "waiting for download" messages. It's been about nine days and so far so good. If this problem re-appears I'm just gonna go get a Microsoft Surface and be done with it. I hear Nokia still makes a Windows phone as well. It's a shame that's my next option.

Whatever the recent changes are either to Android or to this app or it's related apps for speech recognition and speech to text? There is a significant lag particularly in the messenger app between what is spoken and what appears on the screen. And I use this less and less because of the massive amount of scrolling and correcting I have to do. Since I can't catch errors on the fly.

Sometime is wrong with this update. When i do text to speech for some reason it skips the first 1 to 3 words of each sentence. This makes the app functionally unusable for reading pdfs, which is what I use this for. As this is an accessibility service for the blind and key for those with dyslexia, this is unacceptable. This needs to be fixed, now.

Would give negative stars if possible, having the same bug as everyone else. I just uninstalled all the updates and do not allow the app to auto-update. Haven't had any issues with voice-to-text, Samsung Xcover Pro. Edit: I changed my default keyboard to the Samsung one instead of the Google GBoard and installed app update, and that seems to have resolved the stagnant download problem.

Keeps trying to auto update no matter what setting I set. It wants a wifi connection to update and I rarely ever have a wifi connection, so it spends hours, days and weeks trying to update no matter what setting I choose. I uninstalled it because it definitely isn't working properly and constantly gets in the way.

This service was never bulletproof, but with the latest updates, one can see that it's clearly broken. It will get words right at first, only to then cycoe through until it lands on a bizarre incorrect conclusion. It will randomly capitalize words that have no business being captiiazed in the English language. It will misinterrupt common words so absurdly that the end result is amusing to read. It has become exceptionally unreliable as of late, which is a shame because it used to work so well.
