Voice to text

[Dick7Access]

Is there an app where I can speak into my android and my wife (in Nursing Home) will receive it in text. I have been googling voice to text and there is a mess of them, but it doesn’t tell me how they work. I am looking for something that she doesn’t have to open something special on here phone, just answer. Is there such an animal out there?

I'm thinking you need something like a pager to cover your first requirement:-

What app is that Moke?

like a pager

What about plain old SMS text messaging? She'd get a notification (I think) I'm not 100% sure if that'll be good enough, as I turned off all notifications along time ago.

I would just try a few out?
Easy to install and remove?

This one looks reasonable?

Thanks, looks like that will work for her. She is 82 and even with a hearing aid she can't hear well.

I have an app on my phone called tasker.
It allows you to do so much more with your phone.
I have a task where if I get a text it raises the volume, says 'Incoming text', then puts the volume back to where it was previously.
