Voice Typing

Hey, sorry to bother you again.

Lets take an example of a android keyboard. By default, they have voice typing button there, am I correct? I'm asking about the same thing here. Not any software specific voice typing but the voice typing button in keyboard which would let me voice type
in any typing box, whether it may be messaging or email or facebook or any other.

Voice Typing

I can't give you an exhaustive list of apps - no such thing exists.

the mail app also can compose emails via voice. an app I've worked on allows to enter written notes by voice.

for example, this is the type of code that devs would use to enable speech to text on their apps:

private async
void ButtonSR_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

// Create an instance of SpeechRecognizerUI.

this.recoWithUI = new SpeechRecognizerUI();

// Start recognition (load the dictation grammar by default).

SpeechRecognitionUIResult recoResult = await recoWithUI.RecognizeWithUIAsync();

// Do something with the recognition result.

MessageBox.Show(string.Format("You said {0}.", recoResult.RecognitionResult.Text));

}

as you can see, this is not complicated at all. any app can use it. devs just choose to ignore it.
