Speech to text app
So your options now are 1)daily uninstall/rollback of Google app update, 2)crappy SwiftKey, 3)leave SwiftKey. Except even with autoupdate turned off it will eventually ignore you and run the update.
Some sleuthing eventually turned that up and it worked like magic. I think I Italy although I may be wrong there. I've been using SwiftKey since it was a non-Microsoft beta product by some company. I don't know if it's specific to Samsung or something else, but either way there is a Huge number of people out there likely getting a very bad impression of SwiftKey because of this. It really is a shame that no one will acknowledge this. But I keep checking back in the hopes that someone will have a fix for this or at least address it. I've made multiple post about this and it seems to me that those posts eventually get deleted. So for the moment I am choosing better speak to text over being properly updated. At the same time a properly working speech-to-text is critical to me. I really don't like running my phone with the oldest available version Google. I don't know what's going on and why this continues to be ignored or even what if anything can be done about it. If you go into your apps and find the Google app, not to be confused with chrome, an uninstall all the updates so you're left with the factory Google app, you're SwiftKey will return to the great keyboard that it always has been in the past complete with the drop-down work suggestions and much better speak to text recognition. This is not a new problem and you will get a lot of running around because nobody seems to want to address the problem. Has anyone else experienced this change recently and found a way to fix it? For reference, I have a Samsung Galaxy s10 with fully updated OS and app. I use the voice-to-text a ton, so if it's really this broken now it's sort of a dealbreaker for me with Swiftkey, which would be a bummer since I've really liked it up until now. Previously I could hit backspace to delete the last word and it would stay in listening mode, now hitting backspace makes it stop listening. There was previously a feature where I could tap on a predicted word, and it would bring up a list of other guesses for the word, which was extremely useful when it got something wrong, but it doesn't appear to do that anymore. The guesses it makes are often way off, where before they were very reliable The timeout when I stop talking has drastically decreased, to the point where if I hesitate even a tiny bit between words it stops listening. The interface looks a bit different, and there are a few significant changes:
SPEECH TO TEXT APP UPDATE
I don't know if this is a Swiftkey thing or a Google thing, but it started happening a few days ago after my phone installed an update and updated a bunch of apps at the same time. It seems like in the last few days my voice-to-text feature has gotten significantly worse.
