this isnt the ice cream sandwich voice to text, the way 4.0 has it it writes as you talk not wait until youre done talking and then put what you said. #fail

@edress7140 Nobody said voice to text is from ICS, just the keyboard. And what you're talking about is "voice typing." That feature's not out as a simple APK download from the Market, as it's too involved with the OS.

This is the 4.0 keyboard w. working voice input from 2.2 Froyo or 2.3 Gingerbread. If you were around when this keyboard leaked, you'd know voice input didn't work at all (video before this), which was really annoying. This video shows the developer got voice working.

Voice Input doesn't work - the microphone appears there, but all I can do is press "Cancel", since it doesn't do anything. HTC Desire running MIUI w/ CPU overclocked at 1113 MHz. Don't tell me I need 2 GHz or another ROM...

[SmartKeitai]

@Formhault Are you sure you downloaded the right one? There are at least three Ice Cream Sandwich keyboards in the Android Market. The one demoed here with working Voice Input is from johntanmi. The initial version had issues with voice, but v1.0.4 and up has been working fine. I've tested it on devices from Samsung, HTC and Motorola, so not sure what's going on with your desire. Maybe you can contact johntanmi and see if he can find a fix.

slideitkeyboard ftw!

[SmartKeitai]

@buktomsin ha, I know of slideit, but what makes it better than Swype or TouchPal?

[lordedvard8]

Who here enjoys talking to their phones to send a text message

[Dashawng89]

Nice review. I liked that blue keyboard

[sexygirlles11]

XD

[tyerbnm]

Its 4mb smh

[HyvelTjuven]

I dislike that the enter-key actually sends the text...

[jamiekitson]

You know that you can double tap the space bar to get a full stop?

Have tried this keyboard in my Desire running Android 2.3.3 (original version from HTC).

It doesn't work. The keyboard doesn't show up as an electable option.

To bad. It looks cool.

[tofer1zel]

@DhatKidRiteDer There are occasions where it's very handy, I for one use it to keep up with a group convo on a social network while gaming or I happen to be working with my hands (hobby, repair job, cooking/grilling, etc.)

I doubt that many people use it as their default input mode but its nice to know that it works well when needed, specially for those that enjoy and are good at multitasking.
