Our Reading
The launch follows a familiar script.
Nothing’s on-device dictation tool supports over 100 languages, because who doesn’t love a good rebranding of existing tech? It’s available on the Phone (1) device, because of course it is. The company claims it uses machine learning models, because that’s what everyone says these days. It’s part of their efforts to provide a seamless user experience, said the press release. And by “seamless”, they mean “we’re still in beta”.
Original observation: This is just Google’s on-device dictation from 2019, but with a fancier logo.
