The inability to remove words from the speech dictionary is probably the most frustrating bug I've ever encountered in any app in my entire life. speech recognition stops if you pause for a millisecond. This is Google's worst functioning product by far. Dragon NaturallySpeaking was a superior product over a decade ago. Google's only goal is to take away all control from the user in every way possible. When a Google app doesn't work, there's nothing you can do. Google hates the user.

Basically unusable. Words double randomly. Punctuation adds itself in for no apparent reason. I enunciate extremely well, and it still can barely understand me. Ironically, I was using it for this review, and I've had to edit it four times already. This is unconscionable. This is a huge, glaring accessibility issue. I cannot type very easily, or sometimes at all. I went with Google pixel products specifically for features like this, and can't even use them. I'm genuinely considering a refund.

Works inconsistently. It's horrible in switching languages. Switching languages has to be done manually. Instead of punctuation signs, the app displays punctuation as words aka 'comma', 'period', 'question mark' regardless of a language. Annoyingly improper autocorrect feature. While improved on grammer, the basics are still needed to be fixed. Now I type instead of using voice recognition. Seems like several years ago, the app was more robust in recognizing different languages.
