Google speech to text in 'Memo'

I was looking to be able to speak into my phone's microphone and it type out my speech.

I was sure I could do it with the 'Memo' app, I just wasn't sure exactly how. I assumed I've have to download an app which I wasn't thrilled about.

So I looked it up and fiddled and was most surprised it was quite good at capturing and typing what I was saying. Aha, Google. Yes, I know Google is good at translating, but I still find it impressive because language is accent, speed, cadence etc. Note I did intentionally speak slowly.

Then I tried another language, not English. No can do.

I fiddled more, and then spoke. Wow, fuck yeah. I give you credit for this Google. Accurately typing out what comes out of my mouth is an achievement.
