Google Assistant to Get Keyboard Dictation, Driving Mode, and Other Features
Nowadays, Google Assistant has become an essential part of the
lives of many, as it can offer you any required information, control devices,
and often provide you key reminders. Currently, Google Assistant is preparing
to bring some new features, including the keyboard dictation for selective
Pixel devices, a dedicated driving mode and more.
Google Assistant Driving
Mode
The Driving Mode would
replace the Android Auto app of the handsets; however, Google will still be
offering a phone interface. It would be doing so, through an individual
application that will act as a shortcut to the previous UI. The final UI,
however, might look a bit different than expected. It would be offering a new
car mode UI, an Android Auto alike for the devices.
New Google Assistant
Keyboard Dictation
Google has also enabled a
new Google Assistant’s integrated keyboard dictation feature named Gboard. With
the help of Gboard, you can easily send a message without even typing it. You
need to tap on the microphone button so as to dictate a message and then send
the text to anyone you want without even typing the entire message.
Even though it can be done
with the help of the integrated voice input, the users will not have to
download standalone voice models in the Gboard, once the keyboard dictation
feature comes out. This will help the users in saving some amount of storage
space on their handsets. However, the new on-device machine learning models of
Google Assistant should enable the voice dictation feature that is fast and
more accurate.
The new keyboard dictation
feature would integrate seamlessly into the keyboard, and then users will be
able to easily dictate the message. We are saying this because we have
experienced it before its official launch. Currently, it is not running
efficiently and is not as quick as it should be.
This feature was very slow
the last time we saw it in action. This was because it was running on a
modified first-gen Pixel handset. Also, when we saw it earlier, the keyboard
dictation UI was something different, so we are still not sure that among the
two interfaces, which of the two will end up being a final version. It would be
great if the company tells about it soon.
There are only a few
devices on which the new Google Assistant is available. They are Pixel 4, Pixel
4a, Pixel 4a 5G, and Pixel 5. So, according to this information, the new keyboard
dictation feature would only be available on these devices.
Connecting to Health
Services for Sleep Data
You will be allowed to
connect the Google Assistant to various health service providers like Fitbit
and more so that it can access your sleep data. Once the Google Assistant gets
connected to a health service, it can answer various sleep-related questions of
yours with the help of your sleep data. In case, you have devices where the
results are turned on for proactive health and fitness; you will be shown this
data alongside suggestions and other related content.
