Is there a way or app that allows "voice to text" when I am not near wifi or have data?

For the most part, sure.

I just put my Galaxy Nexus (Android 4.2.2) into Airplane mode and tried to compose an email message with speech-to-text.

It worked, but it was slo-o-o-o-w. And not as accurate as I'd like.

If you go into Settings > Language & input > Google voice typing (settings) you can set which languages are downloaded to your device for speech-to-text. English is my default (and is already downloaded) but I see about 20 other files I can download.

However, whether you can do this or how well it works depends a lot (I think) on your device and the version of the OS you're running.

  • It really does depend as I put my phone into airplane mode and it was very fast at picking up my speech and very accurate.

    Any information on the privacy policy when using this offline? IS the data transmitted later when going online?

  • "I think it depends..." is not an answer.
