Hi Carla, I haven’t played around with too many apps that do that. My colleague Roy Bragg found an app called Call Trunk that records and transcribes phone calls, and he says he’s happy with it: https://www.calltrunk.com/us/en/. But I usually take the time to transcribe a recording myself to make sure it’s accurate, and also because sometimes I catch something I hadn’t heard the first time around.

Thanks for the comment.

Or, one that you can load an MP3 into it and it transcribes into text? It’s odd that Droid has the ability to do voice to text with texting and email, but hasn’t come up with an app that does transcription of voice to email?

So far its been ok, I like that fact that the phone isnt locked down like the iphone is. The only issue are the games. This needs improving if Android wants to really compete with Apple.
