I have been using the speech to text with all of the note series (3,4, and 5). So i just received my note 7 a week ago. Everytime I do an SMS/Hangout and i click the microphone for the speech to text, it comes up as the "S-Voice" speech to text. Has anyone figured out if they can get "Google's" Speech to text working or what i would need to do to switch to Google's Version?
Thanks!

Not that I'm aware of yet. I hope they update this so we can. I absolutely hate the Samsung version but I like their keyboard.
In the meantime I'm using the Google keyboard which isn't bad but not quite what I want

I like the Google themed keyboard better so for me its not so bad. I tried the samsung keyboard for a few days but without the Google Voice it drove me crazy as well and had to switch

I'm looking to spend my $25 credit and I'm thinking keyboard.
Opinions on keyboards for the nexus 7?
You'll get so many different answers, try the free versions.
Swiftkey 3 for me though since you ask.
It told me earlier it'd saved me 10,000 keystrokes on my mobile and over 5,000 on nexus already.
Try thumb keyboard. Its great in landscape mode, and you can customize the keyboard as well!

I also suggest SwiftKey 3. One of the advantages for me is that it offers word suggestions and auto-correct in up to 3 languages at the same time. It also has the option for arrow keys at the bottom in the phone version.

I'll cosign Swiftkey. In landscape mode it's almost perfect, and works well enough that I feel natural using it. I still finding it surprising that I lke it so much considering my phone has a physical keyboard and I formerly used Swype as the alternative.

i use the phone version since Swiftkey refuses to provide an option for displaying arrow keys (on the main keyboard) on the tablet version
Thumb keyboard is one of my favorites for both phones and tablets

I use Hackers Keyboard and love it, and its free
I use perfect keyboard. I love its split keyboard for for when I'm typing in landscape.
I second hackers keyboard for if you want something with the same layout as a real keyboard.

I've used Ultra Keyboard for over a year on my Nook Color and now on the Nexus. It has arrow keys, which I find invaluable.

Not that it helps with your credit, but I recommend Swype. I'm a little biased since I used to work for them, but I think it is the best keyboard input for touch bar none. You can get on the beta by visiting beta.Swype.com... this message was composed using Swype.

Swype beta is free and oh so buttery
Torn between swype and swift key on the nexus 7 myself. I use swype on my galaxy tab 10.1 and love it there but it can't touch the predictive accuracy of swift key. On my HTC One X I use swift key which I'd like to use on my nexus 7 but its buggy in Chrome for some reason. For now I'm sticking to the stock keyboard until I find something else or swift key update resolves the bugs.

Smartkeyboard for both phone and tablet. Great stuff!
I'm a devoted Swype user. Sometimes it acts strangely on webpages though. If that happens I switch to stock until in off that page

I use Thumb Keyboard, I got it when it was the amazon free app of the day, and I really enjoy it. Although it seems to have some issues with Chrome that I'm having trouble figuring out.
For the first time, tonight I was finally able to install this great keyboard on the N7.

Good story.... Swype is a great keyboard, but not sure if this warrants a new thread.

I use swype on my phone. However I've not bothered with it on the N7. The standard keyboard does swype style movements and seems to be better for standard typing when I fancy it.

Swype 1.3 is the best and could never be replaced. The only thing that sucks is it uses its own voice recognition so you can't use Google voice offline recognition.

Hey, when trying to use the handwriting mode with the keyboard in a text, it doesn't change any of my writing to text, the writing area won't scroll, then the phone freezes and I get a force close.
Has anyone else encountered this?
Thanks
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk 4
Yup. About an hour later the Samsung keyboard auto updated and the problem stopped for me.

A restart fixed it. I haven't seen the keyboard update. Will check for that in case I overlooked it happening.

Found where it did update. I uninstalled the update and reinstalled

Thought it would be worth mentioning that I switched to the Google keyboard just now and it froze the phone the same way... This time "Google keyboard has stopped"

Had a update for the keyboard and had to restart for it to take effect. Works great now.

As I'm staring at my brand new note 3 at this very moment it has taken me 5 minutes to attempt to get this piece of crap s pen setting to automatically begin handwriting mode, even if it does scroll, not one single word Is converted to text, AND I don't even see the option of the small pen icon that allows me to use the other handwriting screen that does work!!! Needless to say this is beyond frustrating and I refuse to pay for any update "solutions" I.e putting a bandaid on a broken leg.. Also tried swiftkey but that's just a different keyboard nothing to help HANDWRITING which is what I enjoy... lastly, as I write my screen isn't positioned in the best way to see what I'm writing also vs. My keyboard. .. is that just another annoying thing I'm going to have to get used to or what??? PLEASE HELP!!!

Thanks! Just out of curiosity, why is the new Maps beta needed? Does Ivana not work with the current Maps version?
I did it when I was still on the latest version and for whatever reason didn't work for me so I downloaded the beta.
I think it should work on both of them

Everyone should be happy to know [at least I was!] Google did something right! Since Samsung screwed us over, Google released their text to speech engine on the Play store for anyone to install this morning. So just search for it in the store and you can be rid of the horrid Samsung voice for good!
Yup. Here is a link for the lazy

I had tons of trouble with this also. It worked on my note 5 but not the note 7. The fixed for me was to install the google keyboard and not use the samsung anymore.

Yep that's the one feature I will miss with samsung keyboard those damn txt shortcuts. I still find myself typing 111 and expecting my email to show up LOL its not going to.
Not exactly convenient, but pulling down the drop down menu and press "select keyboard". Google voice will be an option. It records until done and returns to Samsung keyboard.
