Comment on Android voice dictation: punctuation is not recognized in German languageparent

Comments

For what it's worth, I dictate most of my IMs, text messages, and some short emails through iOS' voice recognition, and it gets dictated punctuation (in English) correct 99% of the time. Android's probably does too, since that bug report thread focuses on languages other than English.

I just tested it. You're right. Dictating punctuation works in English, but not in Spanish. I dictated this message including punctuation.

Interesting. You're the first I hear from that uses it. Only knew some impaired people that were using Dragon NaturallySpeaking or something like that.

Until this year, I wouldn't have expected to ever use it myself, but it's just so much faster and requires almost no visual attention. I couldn't imagine going back to pecking everything out on a touch screen now.
