Replacing Google's Speach to Text

I use Google's speech to text feature on my tablet all the time to take notes in Logos. It's really handy, but it also makes lots and lots of mistakes. Editing, of course, on a tablet is extremely time consuming. Is there a way to replace Google's speech to text feature with something else that would actually learn how we talk - like dragon speaking?

    You might try asking in the Android forum for further answers but if you install Swype on android it comes with dictation which is licensed from Nuance ie. the same engine which apple uses I believe.

    John,

       Could you tell me a little more about Swype?  I read the description on Google Play, but it didn't answer my biggest question -- does it replace the keyboard that comes up automatically when I want to do entry into Logos, especially when I want to take a note?

       Thanks!

    So, I installed Swype and after messing around with registering & getting the settings right, it does replace the standard Android keyboard and now I have Nuance's speech to text engine which is way better.  Works good!
