Hello.

I'm  hoping somebody has a fix for this. My Samsung  keyboard voice input writes out punctuation, instead of actually inputting the punctuation mark that I want.

An example would be it writing out the word "period" instead of inserting an actual period. 

Every single thread I have found has switching to Google voice input as the solution.  

While this may fix that issue, it does not solve my problem.

I use voice input to send messages in Spanish frequently. Google voice input does not register that I am speaking Spanish, and it types a garbled mix of mostly English words with a Spanish word here and there, so switching to Google voice input is a no go. 

Samsung voice input switches from English to Spanish to English seamlessly ...and it is my preferred keyboard. I am looking for an actual fix to the punctuation voice input issue with Samsung Keyboard that isn't switching to Google voice input. 

I am also trying to figure out why Google voice input no longer works the way it used to when it comes to registering that Spanish is being spoken. 

Thanks in advance for any help.

-Jessica

You can set Google voice typing to use multiple languages.  settings/general/keyboard list and default. Enable Google Voice typing and tap on the text, then tap on languages and select English (US) and Espanol (choose country).  Then it should recognize your Spanish.

Spoken punctuation became worse recently.  "Question mark" not converting to "?" is my biggest complaint.

To use V to T, do I have to give the Samsung Voice Input the permission to record my voice?  And cannot use it if I deny the permission to record my voice?

You have to grant the permission.  It is required or it will not work.  How do you think V to T works?  It records your voice, synthesizes to text and writes it out.  It cannot do that if it doesn't have permission to record.  If you are that paranoid about your voice being recorded by your phone a) don't have a phone, b) don't use V to T and type everything out. I have never heard of anyone's voice being hijacked for nefarious purposes because they used V to T, and it has been around for a very long time.  It's more likely your voice would be hijacked by someone at the other end of your phone call or from being hacked, than because you granted Samsung or Google permission to record your voice.
