MyFW app has introduced an innovative feature that allows users to effortlessly dictate their thoughts instead of typing them out. The new voice-to-text and dictation capability makes it easier for residents to interact with the app and report issues.

Why it matters: With the latest update, MyFW users can now speak their minds without the hassle of typing, making it even more convenient to submit reports and communicate their concerns. This breakthrough functionality aims to streamline the reporting process, enabling residents to easily notify authorities about various issues within the city.

To utilize this cutting-edge feature, users can follow these simple steps:

  • Open the MyFW app on s smartphone.
  • Ensure the text box is selected and ready to receive input.
  • Tap the microphone icon on the iPhone or Android keyboard.
  • Start speaking, dictating the message or report.
  • Tap the microphone icon again when finished dictating.
While the voice dictation feature is versatile, it may present challenges when it comes to providing location information. To address this concern, the MyFW app offers an alternative method. Users can take a picture within the app, and the app will automatically prepopulate the location or address details, making the reporting process even more convenient.

What they’re saying: City officials are optimistic about the impact this feature will have on community engagement. Councilmember Carlos Flores states that “the new speak-to-text feature on the MyFW app is a valuable addition that enhances accessibility and convenience for residents when reporting issues, providing feedback or accessing public services. Embracing technology solutions like this fosters greater civic engagement and participation. I encourage all Fort Worth residents to use this convenient feature when using the MyFW app.”

To experience the convenience and efficiency of the new voice-to-text feature, residents are encouraged to update their MyFW app to the latest version, now available for both iPhone and Android devices.
