The article explains how users can utilize voice typing on their smartphones, whether Android or iOS, highlighting the convenience of talking to input text in any text box, and mentioning the integration of AI assistants like Siri and Alexa.
Gboard is preparing a new "Seamless voice typing" feature in its latest beta version, allowing voice typing to start automatically when the keyboard is shown, eliminating the need to manually initiate it. This optional behavior can be turned on/off in the voice settings and aims to simplify the current two-stage process of tapping a text field and hitting the microphone icon. The feature could potentially work with non-Pixel speech-to-text on all Android devices, and is part of Gboard's efforts to streamline voice input.
The latest beta version of Gboard, version 13.3, reveals upcoming features such as a stylus handwriting mode, a compact voice typing user interface, generative AI stickers, and generative AI proofreading. The stylus handwriting mode allows users to write in any text field using a stylus, similar to Apple's Scribble feature. The compact voice typing UI includes a toolbar that can be easily moved and allows users to switch between the toolbar and the keyboard. Generative AI is also being used to offer proofreading suggestions and to generate emoji-style stickers.
