Voice Typing Guides for Android
These guides cover the questions Android users actually ask about dictation: why voice typing drops punctuation, what to do when it stops working, how to turn it on, and how to dictate inside apps like WhatsApp. Each guide explains the cause, walks through the built-in fixes, and compares the dictation tools that handle the problem for you.
Voice typing punctuation
Get correct punctuation and capitalization automatically, instead of fixing periods, commas, and lowercase sentences after every dictated message.
Voice typing not working
Fix a missing microphone, greyed-out dictation, or voice input that stops after one word, with causes reported across Android and Samsung versions.
How to turn on voice to text on Android
Where the microphone key lives on Gboard, the Samsung keyboard and a Pixel, and how to dictate a note in Keep or an email in Gmail.
Voice typing in WhatsApp
Dictate WhatsApp messages as written, ready-to-send text instead of recording voice notes, using a keyboard that works in every app.
Speech to text for dyslexia and painful typing
Which tools help when spelling, tremor or wrist pain make typing hard: what Android gives free, where it stops, and the discounts worth asking for.
