Speech-to-text Feature: Send WhatsApp Messages Without Typing

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Whatsapp is here to spoil us with their regular and amazing updates. The WhatsApp’s latest update is perfect for those too lazy to type lengthy messages.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tL_xKqGVUSk/W92SUY3poRI/AAAAAAAAJjI/--KkQF2h560h-AcuKXp9Xd_uQFgegP4RgCLcBGAs/s400/whatsapp.png" /></div>
<br />
The new feature is known as Speech-to-text, which allows you communicate into your mobile's microphone – then translates it into text.<br />
<br />
The feature already exists on virtual assistants like Apple's Siri or Google Assistant, what's new is that WhatsApp will introduce a new mic icon on the keyboard for easy accessibility.<br />
<br />
The upgrade will be a godsend to those on the move when it can be tricky to physically tap out conversations.<br />
<br />
Typing is usually slower when there is a lot of information to convey. And this explains which why the WhatsApp voice message option is so popular.<br />
<br />
However many dislike receiving voice messages, as they can be inconvenient to listen to. So WhatsApp has now helpfully provided a speech-to-text feature to transform speech into text.<br />
<br />
WhatsApp Dictation is available on both iPhone and Android.<br />
<br />
<b>How to Use WhatsApp Speech-to-text</b><br />
Firstly, open your WhatsApp.<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Open a chat with the contact you want to speak to</li>
<li>Open up the chat keyboard, where you'd normally type messages</li>
<li>Look for a microphone icon (not the one next to the chat bar): on Android, it's black and in the top right, and on iPhone, it's in the very bottom right of the screen</li>
</ul>
<br />
If you want a comma and a question mark, simply say "comma" or "question mark" out loud. It's the same story for adding "full stop".<br />
<br />
Once you've finished your message, check it over and then hit send.<br />
<br />
When you're speaking into the microphone, remember to talk clearly and enunciate words – as turning speech into text is very tricky for apps.<br />
<br />
It's also best to dictate your message in a quiet place, to give your microphone the best chance of picking up your words.<br />
<br />
You can always edit your dictated message before you send it anyway, to correct any typos that may appear.</div>

5 Things to Make Texting More Fun

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div class="entry-image" itemprop="image" itemscope="" itemtype="https://schema.org/ImageObject">
</div>
<div class="g g-10">
<div class="g-dyn a-63 c-2">
</div>
</div>
Choosing the most effective way to communicate is essential to the business of getting things done. Today we are inundated with messages from all different forms of communication, including email, messaging apps, snail mail, social media, telemarketing and more. The benefits of text messaging are hard to ignore, and many organizations are choosing this simple and effective way to communicate.<br />
<br />
Texting and mobile technology have become synonymous with daily life. Text messages are used by youth and adults for personal, family and social purposes and in business, government and non-governmental organizations for communication between colleagues.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BoRFni_WWLc/WOOkzk8WBNI/AAAAAAAAGAc/ixbnMGhlNmAmnOAdI_RCNCFzhOJHHyUCQCLcB/s1600/Instant-Messaging.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-BoRFni_WWLc/WOOkzk8WBNI/AAAAAAAAGAc/ixbnMGhlNmAmnOAdI_RCNCFzhOJHHyUCQCLcB/s320/Instant-Messaging.jpg" width="304" /></a></div>
<br />
Texting does not require the caller and recipient to both be free at the same moment; this permits communication even between busy individuals. Text messages can also be used to interact with automated systems, for example, to order products or services from e-commerce websites, or to participate in online contests. The following are some helpful tips to make texting more fun:<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>1. Swipe Instead of Typing One Letter at a Time to Faster Typing</b></div>
Typing fast may not be fun. But you know what is fun? Gesture typing!<br />
Swiping has become a new phenomenon to hit virtual keyboards in recent 
years. The idea behind swiping is that you move your finger across the 
keyboard to each letter of a word without lifting it and word will 
appear on your screen. This new software has the ability to guess the 
word that you are “swiping” and if done correctly can be significantly 
quicker than typing. Initial developers believed that swiping could 
achieve over 50 word per minute and you can try it out and see for 
yourself! Aside from typing faster, swipe typing is also tons of fun, so you’ll likely never want to go back to tap-typing once you give it a try.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>2. Set The Theme to Make Your Keyboard Fun</b></div>
There are many ways in which you can personalize your phone, and using a <a href="http://redrawkeyboard.com/keyboard-themes/" target="_blank">keyboard theme</a> is possibly one of the most fun ones. And there are plenty to choose from as the Google Play store is filled with amazing <a href="https://play.google.com/store/search?q=keyboard%20themes%20and%20apps&c=apps" target="_blank">keyboard themes and apps</a>.<br />
Whether you’re into classic designs or the fun and colorful, there is a keyboard theme for every mood, style, or personality. All you need to do is install, activate, and start typing.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>3. Emojis 😀😡😍✌️</b></div>
As the use of the smartphone has grown, so has the variety of emojis: there are more than 1,600 emojis available on multiple platforms. Emojis 
have pretty much changed online communication as we know it. And you 
know they’re popular when even our parents use them. So, we’re not 
going to make a case for using emojis, of course, but we are going to 
make a case for emojis packs. They’re more fun to use than your standard
 emojis, and you can download and use them in any conversation, with the
 tap of a button. So now you’ll have even more yellow faces to sprinkle 
in texts!<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>4. Cool Keyboard Sounds and Fonts</b></div>
Another way you can personalize your keyboard, and make typing a lot more fun, is by customizing its font and sounds. Often overlooked, the way your keys look and sound could actually make a bigger difference than you might expect. You can make your keyboard truly unique with cool new fonts, and perhaps typing up a little tune every time you text someone. Now that’s fun!<br />
Most keyboard apps offer both of these features, so once you find your favorite app, you’re set.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>5. Stickers Gonna Stick</b></div>
Unlike emoijs, stickers are not part of codified Unicode standard, and are added by third party applications (such as keyboards or instant messaging apps), meaning that the sky’s the limit when it comes to how diverse they can be.<br />
Our brains process images much faster than text (60,000 times faster, to be exact), which means that not only are stickers hilarious and fun to use, they’re also a useful way to get some message or emotion across. It’s science!<br />
<br />
That is all for now, if you like having fun while using your phone, why not have fun while you type as well?</div>

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Android Pie Update Pushed Back to February

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Bad news for Galaxy Note 9 users as the Samsung delayed a major upgrade for the flagship phablet.<br />
<br />
Galaxy Note 9 released back in August and is certainly one of the best phones of 2018.<br />
Even though the Galaxy Note 9 debuted in August, the same month Google released Android 9 Pie, the phablet arrived pre-installed with Android 8 Oreo.<br />
<br />
Android 9 Pie was initially supposed to launch for the Galaxy S9, S9+ and Galaxy Note 9 in January.<br />
<br />
However, the tech giant has updated its Members application with a revised set of delivery dates for the latest and greatest Google software. The Samsung’s Turkish portal <a href="http://www.guncelmiyiz.com/cihaz/sm-n960f" target="_blank">Guncelmiyiz</a> indicates the update will instead roll out from February 1st.<br />

The Guncelmiyiz website, which Samsung owns, has updated estimates for many of the company’s devices. It currently says the Galaxy Note 8, S8, and S8 Plus Pie updates will roll out from February 15 and it previously said the Note 9 Pie update would roll out January 15. The Note 9’s update has evidently been delayed, as you can see in the screenshot below.<br />

<br /></div>
It's not clear what caused the delay, especially considering that some users are already running the stable version of Pie. Beta testers in Germany got it first on January 4, followed by regular users in the UAE on January 12. And some on XDA have manually flashed the ROM.<br />
<br />
We are not seeing any reports of issues with the Galaxy Note 9 from people who have updated to Pie.<br />
<br />
Now, the Galaxy Note 9 is set to receive Android 9 Pie in February, a month later than initially expected. Here is a full list of Samsung devices and when they are expected to receive the upgrade:<br />
<br />
There are 24 devices on Samsung’s Pie update list. Here they are:<br />

WhatsApp Updates – FingerPrint Authentication

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
The popular instant chat messenger — WhatsApp, has not relented in it's best in pushing out a huge update to its billions of users. It seems Android users will soon get an important security update.<br />
<br />
According to <a href="https://wabetainfo.com/whatsapp-beta-for-android-2-19-3-whats-new/" target="_blank">WABetaInfo</a>, the company is said to be working on a new authentication feature which isn’t available yet as the feature is currently under development.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4rnWU6NB_18/XDkPRSr2O5I/AAAAAAAAJzU/yqA4pUz2iWIfQ045ow6c_nqjqmZnoKGPgCLcBGAs/s1600/Whatsapp-FingerPrnt-Feature.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="711" data-original-width="400" height="400" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4rnWU6NB_18/XDkPRSr2O5I/AAAAAAAAJzU/yqA4pUz2iWIfQ045ow6c_nqjqmZnoKGPgCLcBGAs/s400/Whatsapp-FingerPrnt-Feature.jpg" width="225" /></a></div>
<br />
Once you enabled the Fingerprint feature, the app will be completely protected, so the user will need to authenticate his identity in order to open WhatsApp (from the app icon, from the notification or from external pickers). It will protect the entire app, meaning you can’t use it to lock specific conversations.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vLLARnFD6QU/XDkPZACOzhI/AAAAAAAAJzY/iJ4WvcbYkAsipk6obcIb9HEph0XWFJungCLcBGAs/s1600/Fingerprint_Android_alert.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="360" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vLLARnFD6QU/XDkPZACOzhI/AAAAAAAAJzY/iJ4WvcbYkAsipk6obcIb9HEph0XWFJungCLcBGAs/s400/Fingerprint_Android_alert.jpg" width="225" /></a></div>
<br />
WhatsApp is working in order to add this feature and is said to add new improvement in the next update. The company is also rumored to be working on implementing Face ID and Touch ID for iOS. There will be a section in the app where users can enable the fingerprint authentication feature.<br />
<br />
Availability<br />
This feature is in an alpha stage of development and it will be available in future for Android users Marshmallow and above, and iOS users.<br />
<br />
WhatsApp is also working to improve the <b>audio picker</b> that will allow users to see the list of all available audio files stored in your phone. The user will be able to play the audio before sending it, and it is also possible to select more audio files to send!</div>
