Speech to text.
I would like to see speech to text and maybe an app for iPads for the kiosk I'm gonna use my iPad as a kiosk have the customer fill it out and it would be nice when they're explaining a problem if they could just use the microphone and speak it and it will type for them instead of trying to type on an iPad, would be very cumbersome I would believe or is there something out there already. trying to use Dragon but you can only copy and paste it, can't do it right in the fields so checking to see if there's anything like that available.
This probably isn’t in the scope of something we plan to build in the near future, though it’s certainly an interesting idea!

We are playing with some new speech tech - so we'll see what happens :)

Can't you accomplish this by having the keyboard default to the Microphone button?

You can do this on any android device(haven't tested chromebooks yet) using the android speech to text engine to input text to text fields. If a site support the Speech to Text API within html5 Google Chrome will allow you do this

No I wish. Dragon you can do it and paste it in. But you have to jump out of repairshopr into another app.

Hey - would the built in keyboard on an ipad have the microphone icon by default? (Siri?)
