@cralex43, you can purchase an inexpensive "unlocked" Android phone but not use it as a phone, per se. No monthly fees! You would only need to download the Otter app and you'd have the device that you're looking for. You would need to be in an internet hot spot or have Wi-Fi to get the app. Internet is not needed after that. If you have a Best Buy store around you, they would be able to help you with selecting a phone and could download the Otter app for you, most likely. I have an Android phone that is only used for speech to text. At the time, I only paid $50 for the phone, from Best Buy, and have never used it to make phone calls.
