If you'd like to type a very extensive description of an upcoming task or other item in BuildTools, there is no need to type everything out which can be time consuming. Instead use your phone's built-in speech recognition or dictation features.

Below are examples of how to do this for both Android and iOS devices.

iOS

Open the keyboard and click the microphone icon

You may be presented with a message such as this one, just click on Enable Dictation

Then start talking and your phone does the rest

Android

Open the keyboard and locate the microphone icon

Then simply start talking and your words are converted to text on screen
