What this video covers

ekkoboard is an Android keyboard you can talk to. It turns speech into text, and it also helps you write and edit. This introduction walks through the main parts of the keyboard in order, so you know what to try first.

  1. Dictation basics. Speak instead of typing, and your words appear in whatever app you are using.
  2. Editing. Change text you already have, by voice or with the AI button, without retyping it.
  3. AI writing. Give the AI a quick instruction and get a full draft back, such as an email or a caption.
  4. Voice shortcuts. Save phrases you use often, then insert them by saying a short cue.
  5. Tips. Small habits that make everything faster and more accurate.

Why it is a keyboard, not a separate app

ekkoboard is a full Android keyboard. You switch to it in the app you are already using, such as email, messages or social media, so there is no copying text between apps.

How to follow along

Install ekkoboard from Google Play, switch to it in any text field, and try each step as the video shows it. Each of the five short tutorials that follow covers one feature in more detail.
