Text area
ListensTextArea@listenssoft/speechui-react-nativeMulti-line dictation with no value filter — say the command and keep talking.
The text area is the text field pattern without a type filter: free text, streamed into the value while you speak, flushed to onMatch once when listening stops. Everything about matching, claims, and the contains fallback is identical.

function Demo() { const [notes, setNotes] = useState(""); return ( <ListensTextArea label="Notes" command="notes" placeholder="Dictate mission notes…" value={notes} onChangeText={setNotes} onMatch={setNotes} /> );}What you can say
| Say | Effect |
|---|---|
| “notes all systems nominal” | Starts-with match: streams “all systems nominal” into the value as you speak. |
| “the notes say all clear” | Contains fallback: sets the value to the words after the command (“say all clear”) if nothing else claimed the phrase. |
onMatch fires once, when listening stops, with the final accumulated value.
