Ratings and reviews

I swear the voice recognition is getting worse over time. It's to the point where it's now choosing words that really don't sound that similar.(Beginning maybe) That's the concise explanation more or less. When I noticed I had the feeling that it was getting worse was becoming more frequent. I started documenting things that annoyed me and stood out. I probably can get maybe 2 or 3 sentences without needing to correct something It misinterpreted currently. There's a lot more to say.

If it bundled Gemini nano to offer fast and accurate voice typing transcription with auto punctuation, at least on flagship phones from Samsung, then I would rate it 5/5. It's unbelievable to think that Google is assuming that anyone can afford to get a pixel while it is only available in specific countries, and it is very risky to import it in an unsupported country.

Very difficult to place the cursor to correct a spelling. I have to go through jirations to get cursor to show up and go to a specific place in often just get near the error and erase backwards to make my correction and retype what I had to erase. Clip board does not show up MANY, Many times. The entire section where clipboard is located just disappears. Using PASTE and going into the sub menu -- no clipboard. Select all rarely shows up in that area also. Samsung's keyboard is better.
