Hi Saqib, Yes there is a Voice Dictate button on the on-screen keyboard.

Yes I've heard good reviews about this phone. How would you dictate a message on that phone? Is there a dictate button on the screen somewhere? I think Google's voice recognition is much more accurate than the pathetic IOS version of it. I know this as I once owned an Android phone and I use to dictate messages by holding down the volume up key within the Mobile Accessibility app and I use to get a few sentenses back. I had to select the one that was correct. > On 2 Jan 2014, at 20:30, "andrew shipp" <andrew.shipp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hi Mike so how you finding the moto g?
