Type or Speak — Choosing How to Write Your Entry
You can write an entry by speaking or typing.
Speak: Tap Speak if you want to talk through your entry.
PathwayNotes transcribes your words as you go. Review the text before
submitting, especially if you're in a noisy place.
Prefer to type instead: Tap this option if you want to use
the keyboard. Write as much or as little as you need. No word count minimum.
Some people find speaking unlocks things that typing filters out; others prefer
the control of typing. Try both and see what works for you.
