Take a look at what's included in this update:
Essential Voice
Essential Voice, a new AI-powered speech-to-text feature, lets you focus on your ideas efficiently. Tap the icon on the keyboard or long-press the Essential key when using the keyboard to start. Key features include:
🎙️ Cleans up transcriptions by filtering out interjections, filler words, and repetitions, while intelligently handling your self-corrections.
🔡 Translates on the fly by detecting your translation intent and inserting the translated text directly.
🗃️ Allows you to store personal phrases, like email addresses, and automatically inserts them when triggered by corresponding speech.
📑 Formats the text automatically by converting speech into structured lists, steps, or bullet points when identifying those contents from the speaker.
