Hi All,

Want to ask all Android users (Sony,HTC,LG etc)

when u type using the digital qwerty keypad..u can see the MIC icon at bottom which is used as search function.
i tested that in my HTC One V (ICS 4.0.3) and if internet is available then it converts your speech to text..
e.g: say 'hello' & it will type automatically hello

so,other brand users do u still need internet connection to make it to work?

But Sony Xperia phones don't need internet connection for it to work, as the speech processing engine is inbuilt :mrgreen: correct me if Im wrong.
