Ratings and reviews

New update broke it. It used to work so well. Now voice wise, nothing works, listening is mostly off, it can't understand, it overwrites the first part. This was such an amazing useful tool before. Sad. Three stars because the keyboard is working and win voice to text works it's the best tool ( except it doesn't save my preferences ). Apparently if you uninstall it back to the original it's okay. But it doesn't seem to remember what it learned from you. I hope they fix it soon.

So much better than Samsung voice recognition in so many ways. The Samsung app does not allow you to add the punctuation mark "period" by voice. One problem though with this Google voice detection app is that you can't insert the word "period' (and I just had to edit the text to state that) ithout it being taken as a punctuation. But with that slight shortcoming it's still much better than the default Samsung Text-to-Speech app.

I used to love Gboard, it was intuitive back in the day, and was the most advanced. Now, it's like whoever is in charge of updates is asleep at the wheel, or just out of touch. Instead of autocorrect, they turned it into "overcorrect", what I write tends to be 100% what I wish to send, yet it gets changed to something entirely different. Y'all need to get it together, fast, or I'm gonna start shoppin' around for a new keyboard to use. Seriously. Get. It. Together. People.
