Speech to Clipboard Lite

★★★★★ Offline unavailability is my only concern.

★★★★★ Using this in combination with the excellent Macro Droid (use the Clipboard Change trigger) - very nearly perfect for my needs, only wish so far would be (for an option) to exclude it from the recently used app list. UPDATE: am now launching via a shortcut to a Macro Droid macro comprising the "Launch Application" action with "Exclude from recents" selected. Perfection!

★★★★★ Well worth the upgrade to the Full Pro version This app has earned a coveted place on my main row of apps. That's one out of several hundred. Why? Because it's worth it, and I use it daily. From simply saying "open-app name" I can launch anything on my device with just my voice. I don't have to start with "OK Google" or anything else. Tap-speak-app opens. Beyond that, however, I like to dictate short notes. This app supports that for me as well. If I say "paste" (pro version) followed my note, the words-to-text is copied to the clipboard, and I'm asked which app to paste it into! I often choose email, or Google Keep, or one of several others. The receiving app is launched, text is pasted, and I can continue adding more, or editing, sending, whatever. All this in one app, mind you. After the first launch, there's an optional notice in notifications which I can pull down and tap to automatically activate the "listening" mode. Since the app isn't active until I need it, and it quiets/quits afterward, there's very little battery drain (unlike Google always listening for "OK Google"). I absolutely love this app. There aren't enough stars in my bag to toss at rating this one. Well worth the Pro upgrade.

★★☆☆☆ Couldn't be used without Internet, contrary to the claim in the app description

★★☆☆☆ Talking to air Can't see the clipboard while I'm dictating. So I'm just talking to myself with no idea what text is being recorded. Worthless.
