Speech to Text

Talking is roughly three times faster than typing on a phone, and far easier when your hands are busy or you are walking. Speech to Text turns that into usable text: start dictating and the words appear as you speak, continuously, rather than in short bursts you have to restart.

The transcript is yours to edit, copy or save, and it is stored on your device with the rest of your history. It suits the things that are tedious to type — a long message, notes after a meeting, an idea you want down before it goes.

Two limits worth knowing before you rely on it. It works in English, and it uses your phone's own dictation service, which means that unlike the rest of ScanMint AI the audio may be processed by Apple or Google rather than entirely on your device. Everything else here stays on the phone; this one genuinely does not, and we would rather say so than print a blanket claim that is not true.

It is a premium tool, and one short ad unlocks it for a session on the free plan.

If what you want to capture is printed rather than spoken, Scan Image will read the text out of a photograph instead — same destination, no talking.
