About This Feature
Overview
Collaboration Voice Input is a speech-to-text feature in WPS Office for Android document editing. It lets you dictate content directly into a document instead of typing everything manually.
Core capabilities include:
- Start voice input: Open the voice input panel in editing mode and convert speech into text in real time.
- Adjust voice input settings: Change recognition language, transcription mode, and related enhancement options from the same panel.
This feature is useful for mobile note-taking, quick idea capture, meeting follow-up input, and any situation where long typing on a phone is inconvenient. It helps you enter document content faster on Android and switch settings when needed for different speaking environments.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Provides a voice input entry inside Android document editing, converts speech to text in real time, and supports settings such as recognition language, HD transcription or standard transcription, translation, and speaker differentiation. | Microsoft Word provides Dictate for speech-to-text input, with support for voice commands, automatic punctuation, and multiple languages. | Google Docs provides Voice typing on desktop. On Android, voice input commonly relies on the device keyboard microphone rather than a dedicated in-app voice typing panel. | Notion AI Meeting Notes focuses on meeting recording, transcription, and summaries with real-time transcription and speaker labels, rather than direct body-text input in a document editor. | Adobe Acrobat focuses on PDF workflows such as OCR, editing, and conversion. Its official help content emphasizes scanned PDF editing rather than real-time voice input during document editing. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The entry is built directly into the Android document editing flow for dictation while editing. Distinct: The same panel can manage language, transcription mode, translation, and speaker differentiation. | Compared with WPS: Word Dictate is a broader dictation tool with voice commands, while the official page provides less emphasis on an Android document-editing panel with the same grouped transcription settings. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs on Android more often depends on system keyboard voice typing, so there is less emphasis on a dedicated in-app settings panel for document dictation. | Compared with WPS: Notion is more suitable for meeting capture and summaries than direct mobile document text entry while editing. | Compared with WPS: Adobe is more aligned with PDF editing and scanned-text workflows than mobile collaborative voice input in a document editor. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Collaboration Voice Input is closely aligned with Android document editing and works well when you want to speak directly into a document on your phone.
