My Speech-to-Text App

Overview

This Android application, developed in Kotlin using Jetpack Compose, is designed to convert speech into text. It features functionality to switch between Canadian French and Canadian English languages for speech recognition.

Purpose

My kids have issues with writing and phonetics, and this app is made to allow children to speak to the app comfortably, and read/copy the transcribed speech. I am hoping to get some feedback and improve this app over time.

UI built using Jetpack Compose.
Text field for displaying recognized text.
Undo and Redo functionalities for text edits.
Custom buttons for various actions including microphone access, backspace, undo, and redo.

How to Use
