New Google Assistant’s keyboard dictation is starting to roll out for some

Last year, Google detailed a new Google Assistant, which included an improved keyboard dictation feature that promised to offer a more advanced way to communicate with your voice. After the feature showed up in app teardowns, it finally looks like a stable version is ready for the public.

XDA Recognized Developer argraur sent us a tip that their stock Pixel 4a running the October 2020 security patch has just received the Google Assistant’s keyboard dictation feature, which when enabled, provides a new UI for voice dictation in the Gboard app.

Here’s a video of the new feature, which promises to offer faster voice typing, enhanced voice typing, and auto punctuation.

We actually got the Assistant-powered dictation feature running on a Pixel 4 at the beginning of last month. It’s a much more seamless and powerful experience compared to the built-in keyboard dictation that was previously available. In addition to being able to dictate text, users can also send messages by saying send or delete. When the feature rolls out to your device, you should see a toggle, highlighted in the below screenshot:

Argraur has a completely stock Pixel 4a and got the feature without changing any settings, so it sounds like it’s a server-side rollout. As a reminder, the new Google Assistant is only available on the Pixel 4, Pixel 4 XL, Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a 5G, and Pixel 5. We have seen the feature run on devices that don’t officially support the new Google Assistant, including the Pixel XL, but it takes some trickery to make that happen.
