[mike18435]

ok uograded to 2.1 last night and one of the features is supposed to be speeck to text but I cant find how to use it and I can find the animated wall paper thing either, but the pinch to zoom is working

There should be a mic symbol on your keyboard where the comma used to be in stock. I'm rooted and have used the speech to text for email and texting. It is very accurate.

Long press on home screen > wallpapers > live wallpapers.

Oh, and welcome to the forums.

It is quite awesome (need some command-words though).

FYI: Instead of tapping the little mic button, alternatively you can swipe left-to-right across the entire keyboard and the speak prompt will pop up. Excellent for drunk-texting.

Google speech-to-text: Not only does it faithfully render your slurred gibberish, it spells the words correctly! If you mumble something about ostriches and dune buggies, Google speech-to-text is listening, ready to deliver maximum confusion and amusement to the recipient!

But no seriously: it does need command-words. I want a guide or a dictionary or something. How do you hyphenate words, without using the durn keyboard?

I suppose you've already looked through this thread? Sorry, I'm one of the unfortunate souls still patiently awaiting my OTA 2.1 update. :i-m_so_happy:

Thanks for the reminder. I saw that demonstrated on a video when Google
released the Nexus and completely forgot.

Just wondering if you've had any more luck with this, skidoo? If so, post it as you'd be helping us all... (yes, I finally got the 2.1 update too! What is it you've figured out about the punctuation? I saw you post that in another thread somewhere I think.
