Google is working on developing the voice typing feature in the Gboard keyboard by adding AI-powered tools that allow removing filler words from spoken texts, recognizing contact names, and learning from user corrections, which contributes to improving the accuracy of converting speech to written text.
New Features in the Beta Version
The tech site The Android Show reported on Sunday that the latest beta version of the Gboard keyboard, version 18.6.3.10, revealed two new features within the voice typing tool "Rambler," currently dedicated to Google's Pixel 11 phones.
The first feature allows the tool to access contacts saved on the phone, helping it recognize people's names and write them correctly during voice typing, instead of replacing them with other words due to speech recognition errors.
Learning from User Corrections
The second feature, named "Remember Corrected Words," allows the tool to learn from modifications the user makes to texts after dictation, retaining corrected words for later use, which helps improve result accuracy with repeated use.
The new settings include options to import, export, or share words the tool has learned, along with the ability to delete saved words, giving users greater control over the data the feature relies on.
Availability and Expected Launch
The "Rambler" tool is currently available on the Pixel 11 phone series, which includes the standard model and "Pro," "Pro XL," and "Pro Fold" versions, while it remains unclear whether it will be available for older Pixel phones or devices running other Android versions.
Google has not announced an official launch date for the two new features, amid expectations that they will be rolled out in an upcoming update for Pixel phones next month.
