    That's really impressive! It says it's available in GBoard on Android but I don't see it yet. I assume like most Google features it will be a rolling release over the course of several months, can't wait to try it some day.

      It is confusing. As far as I can tell "rambler for Android" is a named subfeature of gboard and only on Pixel 10+ and newer Samsung phones. From a user standpoint it "just" seems like the transcription has gotten better - not an app you use or a feature that you enable.

    I am not sure if "Word Error Rate" captures what has always been wrong with transcription. My biggest complaint is that it inserts sentence breaks in random places, then fails to evaluate the result, even though it is obviously wrong. Then I have to go fix it which can be harder than having just typed it myself, due to the difficulty of positioning the Android cursor, the fact that it automatically capitalizes if you delete a capital letter, etc. And much of the time I fail to notice the errors until later.

    Does somebody knows what top locales list is sampled from? their own usage data? Also when they will use their AI to give better directions in Waze?

    I'd love to know how this handles proper subtitle formatting. I'm in the process of learning many languages, and being able to cross check my own understanding with film and video would be fantastic.

    Gemini 3.5 transcribe live model is amazing. It's super fast, super accurate, and it even supports voice editing.

    For example, you can say words like "new paragraph", "comma", or "exclamation mark" and it will understand it.

    You can draft a list, for example, here is my grocery list:

    1. Bananas

    2. Cucumbers

    3. Some greenery

    I'm founder of Ottex AI and we just set this model as a new default and it's really amazing. The whole comment has been written in one shot using my voice.

      Sorry everyone, I got a little bit too excited about the release. It's quite a big deal for us.

      I started Ottex nine months ago with the idea that models will get to the point that they will overcome VC-funded startups, and I think it just happened. So yeah, I got a little bit overexcited...
