I’ll have to try it but some voice to text is pretty bad. I left a relative a voicemail that apparently did that and they sent me a copy of the resultant text asking if I was having a stroke!

“I’ll have to try it but some voice to text is pretty bad.”

True. My first smartphone, an android, somehow got its voice to text changed so that whatever I said came out in Russian. I’m not kidding. I don’t think it was translating what I said was Russian, I think it tried to approximate what I was saying phonetically into Russian.

That lasted a couple of weeks, and then it went back to English. I don’t know what I did to cause the switch or the switch back.

Anyway, you might try practicing it in text messages. Try speaking slowly and enunciating as clearly as you can. On my iPhone it will even insert punctuation. If I say “period” it gives a “.” and if I say “comma” I get a “,”.
