I know I can use Google’s voice typing in Google Docs but is there a more convenient, system-wide options available?

    Has anyone gotten the Andriod app working? I installed the APK and it will activate from OpenBoard and show that it’s listening, but it won’t actually output anything into a text field.

      Launch the FUTO Voice Input app first. It’ll give you prompts you need to set it up.

        Thanks for the tip, but I tried that. FUTO Voice Input method is enabled in the keyboard settings; microphone permissions are granted.When I press the voice input button on the keyboard it pops up and listens, but no output is entered into the text field. I do notice that anytime I have a text field open, I now have a pinned notification saying “Chose Input Method”. Clicking on that and choosing Futo voice still leads to the same no output issue. Any other tips would be appreciated.

          I dunno. The way it works for my old phone, is that it listens for a while, then goes into “processing” and then outputs the text. Faster phones should work on the fly, but I really don’t know anything else.

          In the app there’s a field to test, so try that I guess.
