> A few years later you could dictate messages to hangouts on an Android phone :-)

... can you ? it's 2021 and on any top of the line phone I'm definitely unable to get speech recognition systems to understand sentences to an acceptable level. A few words work... kinda. Hell, even typing has become harder than a few years ago where it used to be a simple dictionary - now every other message the automatic correction is completely wrong, which is very frustrating.




Well, passably. If you speak slowly and clearly. I agree about auto-correction though.


I tried turning the typing corrector off on Android and the quality of my typing went down... It does catch more errors than it injects.


There was a curve. My typing quality went down at first, but as I adjusted I got both faster and more accurate over the next couple of weeks.
