Speech-to-text app: an overview of the current market

With a speech-to-text app, your smartphone or tablet recognizes spoken language and converts it into text. Even though most apps of this kind are not developed to perfection, they can still make your everyday life easier.

When a speech-to-text app makes sense

On the smartphone, it often happens that a contact sends a voice message. However, it is often problematic to listen to it - for example, because you are in a meeting or simply just sitting in the streetcar and have forgotten your headphones. That's when a speech-to-text app can come in handy: The voice message is converted directly into a text and you can read what your contact wants to tell you.Speech-to-text apps are similarly practical for dictations of all kinds. If you want a longer text written down, you can simply speak it to the app and it will then capture the text.

The following apps are suitable for converting speech to text:
