Speech to text apps?

Trying to find a good app for this. Mainly for work purposes. Anybody use a good one?

I started looking for something after having to give a witness statement to a copper recently. Two bloody hours whilst a bloke with fat fingers typed my oral statement one letter at a time into his force issued tablet

I've tried a couple of them and experimented with shopping lists

Now I know what the following means but obviously would need a fair bit of correction to form part of a coherent letter or meeting notes

Primula cheese 2-m Batten duct tape worming tablets lemonade cheap lager guns pig food biscuits beginning with b lime cordial red x x phys bread coffee hobis taramasalata eggs crusty bread buckingham

Many devices like iphones have this built it.

Failing that, Dragon Dictation.

Yeah, my iPhone works really well (the software has come on loads compared to a few years ago) and I'll often dictate work emails whilst walking between meetings etc........ SOOOOO FAR nothing too weird or embarrassing has been sent.......................

+1 for Dragon by Nuance - comes in various versions depending on the features you need.

Cheers folks, I found a built in app on my android phone that was quite well hidden!
It seems to work better than the downloaded ones so far.
