With a Sunbeam Premium subscription and a data connection, you will get access to fast, accurate speech transcription, powered by Microsoft.

Press and hold the message key to use the the voice-to-text option while in an input field. You will see Detecting voice input... at the bottom of the screen and the transcribed words will be entered in the text input field.

New line

To enter a new line wait until all previously spoken text is entered, then say "new line". Or to enter a new paragraph, say "new paragraph".

Number entry

You can also speak numbers to have them entered or use the keypad.

Symbols entry

You can say the symbol name and the voice-to-text will try to predict based on the sentence context, if it needs to enter a symbol or a word. Example: Say "question mark" to enter ?.

Emoji entry

To enter emojis, long press the star key and select Emoji from the Menu. Use the D-pad  or touchscreen to make the selection.

Multiple languages

Voice-to-text supports using multiple languages. You can use more than one language by setting the 2nd language to use a different key. Multiple languages can be enabled in the Voice-to-Text settings.

Allows you to set your preferred language.

Use 2nd language

This enables settings to add another speech-to-text language. First choose the 2nd language, then use the toggle switch at the bottom if you wish to change which key is used. By default, the contacts key  is used. This can be switched to use the key on the back of the device instead.
