    speech to text

    That was rather cryptic but by searching on keyboard instead of text to speech in the user manual I was able to find references to "Google Voice Typing" and "Voice input" and see that it claims to be possible. How is it "not like a phone that has speech to text", other than needing to use other...

    speech to text

    I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab A. I can find nothing in the user manual about speech to text and nothing about speech to text on any Android tablet under several general web searches using various search parameters. Where do you find speech to text on the Tab A? I would greatly appreciate a step...

    speech to text

    Speech to text (as used for e-mail and text messaging) is common on Android phones but I find nothing for Android tablets. Doing e-mail from a Anfroid tablet is simple enough and more than a few people like to talk their e-mail content rather than type it. Is there any basic reason speech to...

    Play Store scam?

    That was my previous experience. This time the card may not have been "registered" for on-line use in the latest format. It used to require only a zip code to be accepted for on-line purchases, and before that nothing at all, but now registration requires a name and some address beyond a zip...

    Play Store scam?

    An e-mail with address payments-noreply@google.com so it is most likely from google. The notice in playstore was presented when I entered the card info, refusing to do anything further until I provided all the information. However, I have since downloaded something that did not have a cost and...

    data download rate

    "It" being the software suggest above? It is very easy to find at the play store and possibly at apkmirror.com and/or Apkpure.com

    data download rate

    I can’t tell from the description on the Play Store whether or not that utility will give me useful information. I need to be able to see the download rate moment to moment as the download is occurring. I guess I should be able to install it and see what it does. Then, if it does provide the...

    data download rate

    The reason I need this is to make it possible to differentiate between me cell phone carrier’s actions and Amazon Prime actions. If I can monitor download rate on an Android tablet connected to some WiFi not related to my phone carrier, I should be able to tell which of the two are responsible...

    data download rate

    Is there any way to see a real time, moment to moment download rate (Mbps) of data on an Android device? A graph of rate over a period of time would be nice but just the current number, updated frequently, would be useful.

    Amazon Prime download not right

    Here is what I’ve found so far. Remember, this entire discussion is ONLY about when there are no major restrictions (high traffic, signal interference, etc) on the basic cell phone signal At best, my phone tests above 60Mbps, at worse, less than 1Mbps. I learned very early not to bother with...

    Amazon Prime download not right

    I would like to test downloading some other files, not from Amazon, that are 400MB or larger (single file, not a series of smaller files) but I don't know where to find any. And, I bet your cellphone provider doesn't limit your mobil hotspot speed to 5Mbps. Without that contract provision I...

    Amazon Prime download not right

    The carrier does not provide any content, only cell phone service. They told me they do not reduce speed . Of course heavy traffic, signal interference, etc. may reduce speed, and sometimes does, but that is not the problem with video downloads. I can measure to find out when the bandwidth is...

    Amazon Prime download not right

    I used to read public library books on a Android table. It was nice in various ways. Checkout was for three weeks. Everything worked nicely for a long time. I could read wherever I wanted to go, no internet connect needed after the download. Then they got more paranoid,; I don't know how it...

    Amazon Prime download not right

    This is DRM stuff. I can't even find the downloaded files on either my Windows computer or my phone.

    Amazon Prime download not right

    That might work for some people but when the hotspot bandwidth is set (and controlled) by the carrier, it is not a technical problem. It is what the contract allows. The contract says 5Mbps. I always got 5Mbps -- until now as described above. I wasn't real happy with 5Mbps but at least I got...

    Amazon Prime download not right

    Yes, I would like to do that, and there is one sort-of free WiFi connection available, but I cannot take my computer into the public library. Their WiFi signal does not reach to me here, at home.

    Amazon Prime download not right

    This is about a strange difficulty with Amazon Prime. Amazon support says they are absolutely not responsible, that Amazon never does this to customers. My computer internet access is via a mobil hotspot from an Android phone. The phone contract allows only 5Mbps download speed for the hotspot...

    in order to use apkmirror

    As an excuse, I have somewhat of a vision problem. This is why I use a 32" full HD TV as my computer monitor, with Windows set to output text at the maximum recommended size. Due to this vision thing, or perhaps to not enough attention, I did not see the label saying “advertisement” in very...

    Libby on Android

    For two or three years, some while ago, I used Libby on my Windows notebook computer, mostly for e-books. The program was very insistent that I could no longer even look at the library until I updated the program to the latest version, whenever a newer version came out. Finally they stopped...

    in order to use apkmirror

    I chose a general purpose audiobook player program, to see how it works. Even if it were something like Audible, Audible is a totally different organization that would not be applied to through apkmirror.com. This thing that wants credit card information is in the way of downloading anything...

    in order to use apkmirror

    I uninstalled this apkmirror installer thing. I uninstalled everything Google I could find (this is an Amazon Fire Table, so Google did not come on it). At apmirror.com something is urging me to Activate my account and enter a credit card. I can't seem to get by it. I searched for an audiobook...

    Libby on Android

    For unknown reasons, while I could not get the playstore to work, I decided to give it one more try. It opened normally and let me download Libby. When I tried to open it, it gave me a message to the effect that, due to additional features, Libby no longer works on Android version 4 or earlier...

    in order to use apkmirror

    I went to www.apkmirror.com on my tablet. At the top of the page was a button to download APKMirror Installer, giving me the impression that installing it is a necessary first step. Then during its install I see a message ‘created by Google” and information that this is an unreleased beta...

    Play Store scam?

    To test, I download a free app. Once it was installed and working I used the same Play Store page to uninstall it, so thus far the Play Store account is still working and the same is true for the email account. At the very least they didn't expect me to comply instantly. Regardless of its...
