  on Android you could switch keyboard to "Google Voice typing"
  you can do this in the notification bar on the top of the screen, as long you got any keyboard open

  Speech to text is imperative.

  Without voice this app is dead. The future is voice. It breaks down culture barriers.

  This is the one thing keeping me from using this keyboard.

  I hoped to have a better voice to txt. Googles couldn't be worse when you use more than 1 language . I assume a swiss company will have that rather in their DNA.

  Bizarre that this keyboard doesn't have something so basic. Not usable without voice typing, and constantly switching to another keyboard isn't really worth the effort to switch back

  Stimme-zu-Text ist eigentlich das Einzige, was der Tastatur zur Perfektion fehlt

  It's pretty shortsighted. To not include voice to text. Unfortunately i'll have to uninstall the app until this is added.

  I use voice to text all the time. It's not always accurate, but for a quick message when I don't have both hands free, or when I'm having trouble figuring out the spelling of a word or name.....

  As I am slowly losing my manual dexterity, I would very much appreciate the addition of a voice to text function.

  If you want to enter a text with the Android function "Voice to Text" it would be good if you could find the microphone symbol on the keyboard.
  Apart from that it's a great app!

  You could possibly implement this is holding one of the space keys

  I love typewise's logic and layout, but not having speech to text is a deal breaker. I'll come back to typewise when it has one-touch voice to text. Keep up the great work, you guys!!!

  I agree wit everyone. I think this keyboard is great but without the voice-to-text i find myself questioning its usage. To switch keyboards is cumbersome. There no quick switch so it'll be harder to switch back eventually. Someone stated above its in the notification bar but i don't see such option. I think the feature is absolutely needed i don't care if its using google version so long as it works.

  I can't use Typewise for IOS until there's a mic button so I can dictate when that's the easier option. :( Typewise seems great, and I want to use it, alas.

  Please add Google voice to text option. Samsung software is terrible at recognising my accent.

  For years, I have been using a keyboard where I can simply switch to voice-to-text and then back to input via the keyboard. A simple microphone button is required for this. A modern keyboard must support such an efficient interaction of text input via keyboard and voice!
  Furthermore, I expect typewise to support the function on the one hand and to use a translation engine that guarantees privacy on the other.
  In my opinion, this is an absolute "must have" for typewise!

  If you do add a voice typing feature, please give the option to let the user select their preferred voice typing engine. I personally would not use this feature if forced to use google's or apple's voice typing ai.

  I was all excited about the new keyboard until NO DICTATION! I cannot use it as is. So sad. I was so shocked this is not an option!

  Dealbreaker without voice to text and a microphone button. Total shame it lacks this. Long press of a spacebar button should activate mic.

  I have not figured out how to use typewise together with voice typing..
  
  I first thought oh wow how innovative.. but having no possibility to to dictate is an absolute no go for me.
  
  voice typing is is far quicker and more natural. nevertheless one has to type one or the other word and then I would like to use typewise.
  
  I guess it is complicated to incorporate voice typing... hopefully you will find a way to do so
  
  and create the best possible user experience.. or hire me and I will create a new concept for all of this. this is a very important topic.

  It is clear to me that voice typing contradicts your privacy statement. BUT - a quick switch between type wise and the ordinary keyboard (iPhone keyboard in my case) to do the dictating seems like a good interims solution to me.
