Using ios8 Voice to text without wifi or cell connection

I am smitten with the new voice to text feature in ios8. I work as a guide and teacher in wilderness settings. As part of my job I need to keep detailed journals and notes on students in the field- well beyond the reach of any wifi connection. Is there a way to download the entire English language and use this incredible feature while working in remote, non wifi contexts? Thanks in advance.

No there is isn't. An internet connection (either WiFi or cellular) is required for that feature.

I don't have a phone plan, so I cannot text without wifi. I have been using iMessage to text my friends, until it stopped working. I can text my sisters email, but not my boyfriends iPhone. The send button will not turn blue. Help? Please?

There is a problem with iMessage with what Apple says is a small number of iPhones and they are working on a fix. In the meantime try this:
1. Settings > Messages > iMessage = Off
2. Settings > FaceTime > FaceTime = Off
3. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
4. Wait for the iPhone to Reboot
5. Settings > FaceTime > FaceTime = On
6. Settings > Messages > iMessage = On
You may have to repeat the steps a couple of times.

Can i use my playbook as a GPS without wifi niether bridge connection?

@vanawful, the GPS capability comes from the TI WiLink 7 chip (WL-1283) that provides all the wireless capabilities for the WiFi-only PlayBook.
Although the jury's still out on whether different units may behave differently, so far it appears likely every unit *can* work, under the right conditions, but problems in the software (OS level) or possibly in the chip itself (nobody's saying yet) mean that it's quite unreliable.
There is no need to have WiFi enabled for it, and I've used the GPS frequently now with WiFi off and no nearby hotspots, no tethering (I don't even have a smartphone), and just the GPS running.
If you pick a clear day (i.e. no big rain clouds off to the south, etc), are out in the open without buildings or other things blocking the view of the sky, make certain you are not covering up the lower-right corner of the PlayBook where it appears the GPS antenna is, run the Compass app, and let it sit for 5-10 minutes (if this is your first time using it) so it can find and download ephemeris data from each satellite, you should see it start reporting lat/long positions after that.
If you do this, and it doesn't work, try again. Then try again. Maybe try another time. Preferably do this on different days too, and possibly after a reboot. Yes, it appears to be that flaky sometimes...
I've written my own GPS recording app (no fancy map... just records the readings) and done numerous tests at this point. The readings, when they arrive, are generally exceptionally good. The main problem is getting them to actually arrive and, so far, I've found nothing that can force the issue. Even with my own app, I sometimes have to start it up and leave it alone for some minutes, 4-5 times, before I get the first reading, and there are days I've just given up and moved on. The next day it will simply work. It's largely random.
The three single biggest things you need to remember to get any readings: be outdoors away from big buildings, don't pick a heavily overcast day, and do NOT hold the unit with your right hand covering the bottom right corner (when held in the default landscape orientation with the cameras on top, that is).

What is the expected behavior in iOS 7 when hitting send on an email with no wifi or cell connection being present?

What is the expected behavior in iOS 7.x when hitting send on an email with no wifi or cell connection being present? Also is the behavior designed to be any different if the user intiates airplane mode ahead of time?
We have a couple of users that claim in this situation the email will act like it sent in which they expect it will go out once a network connection is restored. They then come to find the recipient never recieved it and that it does not show in sent email. Its merely lost and they claim its also not in drafts.
I would hope the expected behavior would be that it would either retry sending once network connectivity is restored or at least warn that it needs to be saved as a draft since no connection is present.

It should show "X unsent messages" at the bottom of the mail app.
It also should create an outbox where the unsent emails will queue up, but this could also vary on the email provider.
Once you re connect to a network, it should just send the messages

Is there a texting app were you can text without wifi

is there a texting app were you can text without wifi

No, because the iTouch only supports wifi, but there might be an app that allows you to 'text', and sends the text when your on wifi

Use airplay with Apple TV without wifi connection

Is it possible to use the AirPlay feature on an iPad with Apple TV without being connected to the internet via wifi?
I'm thinking about getting my mom an iPad for X-mas later this year so that she can help some of her visually impared students. She has always wanted a good visual aid for all of her students and I figure that this would be the best solution. The only problem is that I'm not sure if she would have access to the school's wifi connection.
I would normally suggest that she use the HDMI adapter but the projector in her classroom is mounted on the ceiling and it would be a bit of a hassle to have to disconnect the cable every time so that the kids wouldnt play with it. So I figure if she can stream her content on her future iPad to the Apple TV wirelessly, she would be able to achieve what she has always wanted to do. I dont think she will be streaming anything to the Apple TV like youtube or anything like that but it would be a nice tool to have in the event that she wants to present something to her kids wirelessly from her iPad.

Unfortunately you can't send audio from the Apple TV to an airport express, but you can send audio from your mac/pc to the airport express via iTunes/Airplay, you could also send audio from an iPod/iPhone to the express. The express supports both optical and 3.5 mm in a unified port.

How use google voice for texting so don't get charged from att???

can't find the correct settings to avoid being charged???
do I need to download google voice app on iphone ?

No, it doesn't support that. I mentioned the details in your other thread. To add to the other question, you must go to Google Voice settings on the web and make sure that your messages aren't automatically forwarded as text messages. If that is checked, you will receive a text message (which will charge) and a push notification (which will not charge). As mentioned before, you should simply use push notification to get your messages.

No. The iPod does not have a cellular connection. Thus, an iPod without wifi can't connect to the Internet

Video without wifi

Can I use video on my phone without wifi using data on phone
Android phone S6

Yes, Skype for Android supports video calling with WiFi connectivity, as well as via carrier data. In all cases, the stronger the connectivity, the better the call quality, so if it's a carrier data connection, 4G will be better than 3G or 2G.
...meanwhile here's some help content we could include explaining how to place a video call: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12286/making-a-video-call-with-skype-for-android-phones

Can I send texts through wifi without using data?

I' m currently out of the US and want to know if I can send and recdive texts through wifi and not use any data. Same question for my emails.

Airplane mode disables all the radios (cellular, wi-fi, bluetooth), but once airplane mode is enabled, you can then turn on wi-fi and use available wi-fi networks without worrying about inadvertently using your mobile data, as SuzyQ stated.

Anyone know of a Voice Translator that can work without WIFI? for travel

would like to find a Voice Translator APP (don't care about cost) that works without WIFI - for Travel use in some areas with little or no wifi service.

Hey Calchick, I didn't read much of the details, only looked for key words, like offline, translation, etc. Illaass is correct, voice recognition and translation programs tend to be very large. If you have web access, you can talk in your native language and be heard in the foreign language. With out the web, your a text and read operation.
Personal experience, may help you, take of it what you will-- in BC time, (Before Computers) and traveling around, I found if you learn a few basic phrases in the language of the people you are visiting, i.e., things like, "Can you help me?", "Where am I" (have a map in hand when you ask this), "Where is the bathroom", "How much?", "Where do you go eat", "Where's the market?", "Take me to the pharmacy / hospital", and the most important phrase: "Thank You" I know, dumb examples but you get the point, about 20 phrases that cover the basics, who, what, where, when, and how, (think about the questions or things you would ask if you were in a city, in the country you now live, that you have never been in) and a working knowledge of some basic answers, (also, learn a few cruse words, that way you will know if your getting help or the butt of a joke), along with a translation guide book, you can get through almost any situation. Being able to speak even just a little of the other persons language, without using a device, will make most people want to help you, (unless you get a real A-hole), most people will help you if you make an attempt to learn and speak there language, even if it's just a little, (shows you cared enough to try). The translator app just replaces the book, and it will make it easier to learn the phrases. Remember; The app is just a tool, not your mouth. It can get a little rough at times, but generally works, got me through a few countries and made a few friends along the way. Having a soccer ball helps too! Hope this helps, have good travels. Cheers.

IPod touch - text messaging - without wifi?

I've seen this question in the archives, but nothing since 2012.
Is it possible for the latest generation iPod Touch to send text messages without a wifi connection?
Perhaps there's an app for this?
Thanks -

No, not at all. Any texting app or even emailing a text to a recipient carrier's gateway will require an internet data connection. An iPod Touch only has one single way to interact with the internet at all - that is wifi.
Without wifi and with no other form of communication built into the device, how on earth could it send any message? Magic?
There are internet-based texting apps for iPod Touches and wifi-only iPads, but those apps use an internet connection to actually send or receive anything.
