Get ready for a significant upgrade to how you type with your voice. Google is reportedly working on a major improvement for Gboard’s voice typing feature, introducing AI-powered editing called “SmartEdit.” This upcoming enhancement promises to make the voice-to-text experience far more intuitive and responsive to your spoken commands for typing and editing.
For many, voice typing is a convenient way to get thoughts down quickly. However, editing those thoughts can still require a lot of manual input. The Gboard app already handles basic voice commands for corrections, though. That said, “SmartEdit” aims to take the feature to a whole new level. Imagine a system so intelligent it understands nuanced commands and can perform complex edits right on your device.
Gboard’s AI-Powered “SmartEdit” to make voice typing and editing more intuitive
This next-generation feature could allow you to do things like seamlessly insert or edit specific words in the middle of a sentence you just dictated, all without needing to touch your screen. Even more impressively, it might be able to understand and execute actions. For instance, you could include a “send this message” in your commands after completing editing. This level of responsiveness could make the voice-to-text feature feel more natural. It seems that Google wants to bring the spirit of Gemini Live even to its keyboard. That is, to make you feel like you are having a ‘conversation’ with Gboard.
SmartEdit is likely powered by Google’s generative AI. It could resort to advanced models like Gemini Nano for on-device processing. This move is part of Google’s broader strategy to deeply integrate AI, including features like “Magic Cues,” across its various apps and services. In fact, this could be one of the big improvements that Google is preparing to debut in the upcoming Pixel 10 series.
Some examples and reference commands available
The report includes some references and examples of commands that you could use with the upcoming feature. Android Authority spotted them within the Gboard app for Android (specifically in version 15.6.2 beta). This suggests that development is well underway, and we might see Gboard’s advanced AI voice typing and editing in the not-too-distant future.
The integration of “SmartEdit” has the potential to transform how we interact with our keyboards. It could make the voice input and editing process smoother, smarter, and genuinely more efficient. We hope to have more news about it soon.
