I am smitten with the new voice to text feature in ios8. I work as a guide and teacher in wilderness settings. As part of my job I need to keep detailed journals and notes on students in the field- well beyond the reach of any wifi connection. Is there a way to download the entire English language and use this incredible feature while working in remote, non wifi contexts? Thanks in advance.
iPod touch (5th generation), iOS 8.1.3
I could not find any. The iPod is just not powerful enough to do the conversion itself. It needs the power of remote computers

Unfortunate.
That sounds like a fabulous use for voice-to-text.
I thought so too. And... maybe it is good to have places where I cannot use the technologies. Keeps 'em sacred, bro!
You could download an app from the app store. Here is a good one https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/speakenglishtext-free-text/id585483294?mt=8.
The poster wants speech-to-text, not text-to-speech

Hi Illaas:
Re: underpowered iPod. This would be true of the iPod only (A7 chip, I think) 0& not other iOS devices (newer iPads)? I remember reading [somewhere] that the requirement changed on voice-to-text, allowing it to be used offline in more recent versions of iOS.
& to whispering stream:
I can appreciate pristine silence off in the wilderness, but we don’t get that too often anyway.
People yap to each other incessantly. If that’s where you need to make the assessments, I guess its not as big an intrusion as some behaviors in the wild!
Illaass,
Here is a new idea. How about making voice recordings while I am in the field and away from the cell towers. Upon returning to the cellular web could I play my recordings into voice to text and trancribe them at that time? Record first and then transcribe the recordings later. Thoughts? Thanks!
Illaass,
I Tried that app and it is glitchy. voice to text does not work. Can you recommend another app that I could use to record notes while off-line and convert to text once I regain connectivity?
Voice to text without wifi
