Gboard is getting faster, on-device voice dictation support on Pixel phones
To support more privacy-friendly and improved security methods, Google is bringing offline, on-device processing to Gboard on Pixel phones.
Gboard is the first-party keyboard solution to many Android devices. A lot of the features rely on artificial intelligence, machine learning, and neural networks. One such feature is voice dictation a.k.a speech-to-text. While you are speaking to your device, it securely sends your voice to the cloud where it's processed, transformed into text, and then sent back to your device, laid out on the screen. This has been the traditional method for processing the voice data for a very long time now, but Google is changing that.
