Google Pixel 10's Gboard Introduces AI-Powered Writing Tools and Voice Commands

Gboard on Pixel 10 brings better voice typing and proofreading

With the Pixel 10, Google is announcing improvements to the typing experience while using Gboard. The first of these new writing tools will help reorganize text, check it for errors, or completely transform it with AI. Although Gboard already does line-wise spelling and grammar checks, the new writing tools perform more thorough checks for an entire chunk of drafted text. In addition to this, Gboard will now also be able to rephrase, or entirely rewrite, any written text in different styles. A similar functionality has been available in as "Magic Compose" in Google Messages and as "Help me write" in the Gmail app for Workspace users. But the addition to Gboard allows the rewriting functionality to be used on any app. With rewriting, specifically, Gboard could offer choices between multiple options and would let you choose the one you like.

Gboard in Google Pixel 10 Series Will Let You Rewrite Text Using Voice

* Writing Tools in Gboard can edit, transform, and rewrite text * It can also check a block of text for grammatical errors * Google is also rolling out the Smart Edits feature in Gboard Google Pixel 10 series was launched on Wednesday with much fanfare. Just like typical Made by Google events, the showcase focused equal parts on the hardware, software, and ecosystem features. One interesting software upgrade coming to the smartphone series is in the form of Gboard, which is now getting its first set of artificial intelligence (AI) features. The keyboard app is getting Writing Tools that can edit, transform, and rewrite any text. The feature can also be activated by voice commands. Gboard in Google Pixel 10 Gets New Features At the event, the company showcased the new Gboard in a brief demo. When typing something, users can now simply provide voice prompts to make stylistic changes to it. It is similar to Magic Compose in the Messages app or the Help Me Write tool in the Gemini side panel in Gmail. But unlike those siloed features, Writing Tools in Gboard can be used in any app and across any interface, as long as it supports keyboard typing. Writing Tools in Gboard can perform multiple tasks. It can reorganise text for better readability, proofread the text for grammatical or syntax errors, or change the tone of the text and rewrite it entirely. Also, unlike Gboard's existing line-wise grammar check feature, this tool can check for errors in entire paragraphs, or multiple of them. Google is also adding support for voice commands to Writing Tools. This means users will not have to tap on the buttons to execute a function, and can simply confirm it with voice. This is helpful, especially when a user is outdoors or the smartphone is sitting beyond their reach. Finally, the previously reported Smart Edits is also making a debut in Gboard. It is also a voice-based feature that allows users to make more complex edits than currently possible. With this, users can insert, change, and replace words in a sentence, change capitalisation, fix spellings, and even shorten sentences. These new Gboard features will be available across the entire Google Pixel 10 series. Currently, it is unclear if the Mountain View-based tech giant is planning to expand the feature to non-Pixel devices.
