Gboard's speech-to-text is mediocre, but it is far better than Samsung Voice, but still garbage. The live transcribe feature comes installed on most, if not all, Android devices and works wonderfully with top-notch accuracy. It picks up everything regardless of accents or rapid speech. Why not apply that technology to the Voice to Text tool on Gboard to create a better user experience for your customers? I know, crazy right?

Zero stars. You can swipe the same word over and over again and it will not pick it up. Swype(the app) was so much more superior. Gboard is like a frustrating step back in time. This keyboard relies way to much on predictive text which it often gets wrong and doesn't focus enough on actual finger position. I can swipe from the B to the Y and it will type "my" almost every time.

Buttons have suddenly changed places in my keyboard. Not sure what has changed. If it's an update please change it back or I will find another app. This is terrible, I've used Gboard for years and loved it until now! *Update- buttons are back to normal. Thank you! Update-Buttons have changed again!! Please put them back to the way they've been for years and leave them alone!! This is ridiculous!!
