How to Use Voice Typing
You can dictate text into Email, notes, and other apps that accept text input. Google Voice Typing is available when the
Google Keyboard shows the microphone key. If the microphone key is not visible, voice typing is not available for that text
input field.
By default, voice typing is enabled and offensive words are blocked. Your device must be connected to the Internet for
voice typing in most languages. However, Android supports offline voice typing for some languages. To customize voice
typing, go to Settings > Language & input > Google voice typing.
Voice typing is a standard Android feature.
