Google renews the text dictation function on its keyboard

Few applications are more important in the smartphone, and we pay less than those that serve us to write. Google Keyboard is one of the applications of the company that are most used in Europe, because Most brands have active it by default. There are important people who do not do so, like Samsung, but which can be activated in a simple way if we want it.

This application has improved over time, becoming almost the perfect application in this market segment, after a few years during which alternatives such as Swype or Swiftkey were first -level competitors. The latter is still available, but he does not matter that he had, although it is part of Microsoft incorporates AI systems.

Goard's latest update arrives at Pixel And, little by little, to other Android mobiles such as Samsung. Of course, the deployment is progressive, as happens with the activation of See 2 in Gemini Advanced. Thus, we will have to wait a few days to see the new function in all the mobile phones of all manufacturers.

This new function is the renewal of the vocal dictationOne of the most useful characteristics but less known by the vast majority of users. Normally, you tend to write by pressing OA keys to send endless voice messages to applications such as WhatsApp, but it is much more practical to dictate what we mean, avoiding having to write but also to avoid forcing the other person to listen to the whole audio. Yes, it is true that for a few weeks, the audios can be transcribed, but not always the text is good enough.

The new interface hides the keyboard when we sayShowing only a few publishing tools, in case we want to put a word in bold, for example. On the side, we will have a bar of options that will give us access to functions such as the translator, the clipboard or the emojis.

But the most curious is that Now we have vocal orders For example, send the message or turn off the microphone. It seems that Google wants all this experience to take place without having to write, not even to perform the final action of sending a message. And it seems that this is only the first step for greater control of the voice keyboard, something logical given the bet they do in Gemini.
