Pixel 11's Gboard Rambler is prompt-based, rather than real-time
9to5Google • • technology
Key Points:
- Gboard Rambler is a new feature on the Pixel 11 series powered by Gemini Intelligence, accessible via the microphone icon in Gboard and indicated by Gemini’s spark icon.
- Unlike traditional real-time transcription, Rambler requires users to finish speaking and tap a checkmark before the transcription appears, functioning more like a conversational prompt with Gemini.
- Rambler processes spoken input by filtering out filler words and run-on sentences, and offers options to change text style, expand content, and add emojis.
- Users can edit previous transcriptions by reopening the microphone and enable a setting to improve output quality using terms from their Personal Dictionary.
- Google retains the previous speech-to-text option called “Standard,” while Rambler emphasizes capturing user intent and allowing revisions in the user's own words.
