Every time I use a Pixel, without fail, I struggle to switch back to literally any other Android device in part because the voice-to-text experience is just so much worse. But, finally, there\u2019s a brighter future in view.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-705169\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Gboard is Android\u2019s main keyboard offering, and it has built-in voice-to-text dictation. It works well enough, but it gets supercharged on a Pixel. Google first made this change over half a decade ago, with the improved experience on Pixel not only being much faster, but also more accurate. Between actually getting the words right and being able to include punctuation, it just makes voice-to-text on a Pixel drastically better than any other Android device.<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s regardless of what keyboard you\u2019re using. Gboard on a Pixel versus Gboard on a Samsung Galaxy are two incredibly different experiences. The version found on other Android devices doesn\u2019t support punctuation (without you saying the punctuation out loud), often needs more time to load, and is rarely as accurate. Don\u2019t get me wrong, it could be worse \u2013 Samsung Keyboard\u2019s voice-to-text is an actual travesty \u2013 but I really do wish Google would make some improvements here.<\/p>\n<p>It really seems like the solution to this is right on the horizon, though.<\/p>\n<p>\t<span class=\"outbrain-ad-label\">Advertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/span><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s AI.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m still iffy on most applications of AI, but if there\u2019s one thing LLMs are good at, it\u2019s text \u2013 it\u2019s right there in the name, after all. So voice-to-text has become a very popular use of AI, and one of the most useful to the end user. Google, technically, was way ahead of the curve here with Gboard\u2019s improved voice typing on Pixel being a result of machine learning. Newer models have just supercharged this. <\/p>\n<p>One of the first places I came to enjoy this was \u201cWispr Flow,\u201d an AI-powered&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2026\/04\/26\/google-pixel-voice-to-text-android-app\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google Pixel ruined voice-to-text for me, this app fixes it https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2026\/04\/26\/google-pixel-voice-to-text-android-app\/ Publish Date: 2026-04-26 12:00:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":235960,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/9to5google.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/08\/pixel-10-pro-xl-review-19-gboard.jpg?resize=1200%2C628&quality=82&strip=all&ssl=1","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[70,72,86],"class_list":["post-235959","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-android","tag-google","tag-pixel","tag-samsung"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235959"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=235959"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235959\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":235961,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/235959\/revisions\/235961"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/235960"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=235959"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=235959"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=235959"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
