Dictation—Speak
Instead of Type
Your Galaxy Note 5 can turn your
voice into text. It uses Google’s
speech recognition service, which
means you must have a connection
to the cellular network or a Wi-Fi net-
work to use it.
1. Tap the microphone key.
2. Wait until you see Speak Now and
start speaking what you want
to be typed. You can speak the
punctuation by saying “comma,”
“question mark,” “exclamation
mark,” or “exclamation point.”
Swipe to Type
Instead of typing on the keyboard in the traditional way by tapping each letter
individually, you can swipe over the letters in one continuous movement. This
is called Swiftkey Flow. It is enabled by default; to use it, just start swiping your
finger over the letters of the word you want to type. As you swipe, your finger is
followed by a blue trail to help you see what keys your finger has passed over.
Lift your finger after each word. No need to worry about spaces because your
Galaxy Note 5 adds them for you. To type a double letter (as in the word
pool ),
loop around that letter on the keyboard.
