That video's just from a bit of experimentation in my free time; once we've got the input method interface for snapd finished up I'm planning on making it available for people to experiment with on the desktop, but it's not really suitable for use on a phone. Any phone based solution is likely to require some sort of cloud service providing the actual text- to-speech processing.

In some situations it's advantageous to dictate some text, use speech input that is translated to text (for texting, for writing documents, tasks, emails, etc.). A dictate function should be available in a integrated fashion with the keyboard, everywhere on Ubuntu Touch where text input is needed. Details ======= This could be implemented as an integral feature (as in iOS, I believe) or via a pluggable API (on Android, I believe).
