hi I would like my project to have a voice interface as much as possible but I find the appearance of the keyboard not very aesthetic or user friendly how to bring up the voice recognition button from google or other? ---

What are you doing to make the keyboard appear for speech-to-text? Which blocks are you using? Which API do you want to use instead of the Thunkable speech recognizer? ---

Hi The keyboard appears when you click on a textbox i would like to jump this for the moment I use the voice input linked to the use of the google keyboard ---

If you’re using the voice input from Google keyboard then you can’t avoid this problem. What you can do instead is to use the built-in speech recognition in Thunkable or an API. In those cases, the keyboard won’t appear. ---

Hi I will try to follow this lead but maybe with you an API to advise me I plan to make a simple application for taking orders (not for a restaurant) but in a warehouse; reduced and specific vocabulary ---

I’m using the built-in speech recognition block for my [AI chat app](https://community.thunkable.com/t/chat-ai-image-generator-aka-synthi/2227603). Configuring APIs for things like this can be complicated but it should be possible. For me, the Thunkable speech recognition works pretty well so I didn’t end up using an API for that. I do use a Google Cloud Voice API for text-to-speech because of the far superior sound of the voice and more natural pacing of speech when compared to Thunkable’s text-to-speech block. You might look at this: [https://cloud.google.com/speech-to-text](https://cloud.google.com/speech-to-text). ---

I look on the side of codepen I found a rather light Pen that could suit me but implementing it is another story the Pen [https://codepen.io/Ishaanbedi/pen/dyoxKBz](https://codepen.io/Ishaanbedi/pen/dyoxKBz) ---

Is that an API? It just looks like a script. ---

no this is not an api (it seems even more complicated to implement) I did a test with the thunkable webrowser which pointed to this Pen it doesn’t work ( i can press the button but i can’t see what i’m saying) i looked for an api but it’s not free i found something called deepspeech I am looking for a solution that I understand I break my head against the walls because Thunkable’s voice recognition is too short 😒 **update** this Pen works in the Thunkable Webrowser [https://codepen.io/alexandra\_ioan/pen/wOgdYG](https://codepen.io/alexandra_ioan/pen/wOgdYG) ---

You could try what I suggested. It’s not free but the pricing doesn’t look too bad to me: > **[Pricing  |  Cloud Speech-to-Text  |  Google Cloud](https://cloud.google.com/speech-to-text/pricing)** > > Review pricing for Speech-to-Text ---
