      Voice Input Intents

      Most applications require the user to input some form of text, such as when typing their username and password during login.

      The HMT comes with 2 main methods for inputting information:

      • A standard keyboard which allows the user to use their voice to enter information by speaking characters
      • Dictation input which allows the user to speak in sentences

      The best method will depend on the situation, and an application may use both methods for different types of inputs. For example the keyboard is best when entering entering an e-mail address while dictation would be better suited to typing out e-mail messages.

      Dictation

      Starts a new dictation activity for the user to enter some text using the dictation engine.
