use the Google voice typing option to enter text using your voice.
The Samsung keyboard offers a traditional QWERTY keyboard setup for entering text by tapping
keys (like on a computer), along with enhancements and options that allow you to enter text faster
and more accurately, such as continuous key input, personalized usage dictionaries, and more.
