Google’s integrated keyboard for Android smartphones, Gboard, is now getting updated features based on generative artificial intelligence. The writing software offers a range of options to make typing more comfortable, save time and correct mistakes in real-time. With the new feature, users can analyze their text and restructure it for a more concise version, which can be enabled at their discretion.
Apart from spell checking, Gboard will also identify and correct grammatical errors. Another exciting addition is the voice input option that allows users to dictate messages or responses using their voice. This feature can be especially useful when circumstances make typing difficult or when saving time is necessary. Users can activate voice input by selecting the microphone icon on the keyboard and speaking their message, adding punctuation verbally as required. This feature works across all apps that use the mobile keyboard.
The clipboard function in Gboard stores all copied text and makes it easy for users to retrieve and reuse them without having to recopy. Custom emojis are another fun feature that enables users to combine two emojis into a sticker to send in messages. For easier typing, Gboard provides the option of using the keyboard on a larger screen by turning the phone horizontally or one-handed mode that makes the keyboard smaller for typing with one hand. To activate one-handed mode, users can long press on the emoji key and select from the pop-up menu. The keyboard can then be sent to either side of the screen before returning to normal size as needed.
In conclusion, Gboard’s new features based on generative artificial intelligence are designed to enhance user experience by making typing more comfortable, efficient and accurate. The variety of options available ensures that users have everything they need at their fingertips to write effortlessly and effectively on Android smartphones.
