If I open my signal or other messaging app, and then click on a microphone and talk to my phone to create the text of the text message. Doesn't that get around key loggers? Hopefully google encrypts my voice data, sends it to speech to text software in the cloud, sends the text back encrypted, and inserts it into the text box securely. Is there still a window of opportunity to scrape the data?

SpinRite v6.1 Release #3 Guest:
The 3rd release of SpinRite v6.1 is published and may be obtained by all SpinRite v6.0 owners at the SpinRite v6.1 Pre-Release page. (SpinRite will shortly be officially updated to v6.1 so this page will be renamed.) The primary new feature, and the reason for this release, was the discovery of memory problems in some systems that were affecting SpinRite's operation. So SpinRite now incorporates a built-in test of the system's memory. For the full story, please see this page in the "Pre-Release Announcements & Feedback" forum.

BootAble – FreeDOS boot testing freeware
To obtain direct, low-level access to a system's mass storage drives, SpinRite runs under a GRC-customized version of FreeDOS which has been modified to add compatibility with all file systems. In order to run SpinRite it must first be possible to boot FreeDOS.
GRC's “BootAble” freeware allows anyone to easily create BIOS-bootable media in order to workout and confirm the details of getting a machine to boot FreeDOS through a BIOS. Once the means of doing that has been determined, the media created by SpinRite can be booted and run in the same way.
The participants here, who have taken the time to share their knowledge and experience, their successes and some frustrations with booting their computers into FreeDOS, have created a valuable knowledgebase which will benefit everyone who follows.
You may click on the image to the right to obtain your own copy of BootAble. Then use the knowledge and experience documented here to boot your computer(s) into FreeDOS. And please do not hesitate to ask questions – nowhere else can better answers be found.
(You may permanently close this reminder with the 'X' in the upper right.)
I would say it depends whether the malware present on the device is looking at the screen and scraping that or intercepting and logging pressed softkeys.
Plus you'd have to trust your keyboard dictation service which will be storing and processing your voice in the cloud.
You're best off with a reputable brand Android phone with OEM ROM or a recent iPhone that isn't jailbroken.

Do we know how Android implements the speech to text? Perhaps it sends the voice to the cloud, gets the translation back, and then inserts it as if it was typed on the keyboard? If that were the case, it's unclear that using speech to text is any more secure locally while Google also has a record of what you said.

I doubt the millions of voices saying "Hey google, what should I be for Halloween?" are saved for long periods of time. I could be wrong.
