This works way better than Google speech to text. Google is better at recognising which language is being spoken but speechnotes' accuracy is much better. It also does a better job at recognising which words are usually used together and therefore interprets Ill pronounced words or similar sounding words quite well. Text editing leaves room for improvement though.

Great app but there is just one critical omission, unless I'm unaware of it. I believe it requires a caps key on the punctuation-keyboard. It's really frustrating having to manually edit my text after every dictation in order to capitalise the next word or switch to all caps. I think it is high time to include a punctuation-keyboard short cut. I feel it is crucial at this stage to bring it in line with Google keyboard in the next update.

I used it lot for outdoor things, like reviews, short notes what I should take or leave at home next time und die app ist working fine also in trong wind blowing on the microphone or if there is a lot of noise around. Of course it doesn't know every word and sometimes it's really funny what it makes out of the spoken sentence and I must guess, what I have said before :-) I use it 80% in german / 20% english. But overall it's great and btw also this text was made by speech notes..
