Hi,

Why Samsung can't license the assistant voice typing from Google to be offered on its Galaxy S phones to take advantage of their powerful processors? Or at least collaborate with open AI to integrate whisper AI into its keyboard for smooth and efficient voice typing transcription similar to Google or even better. I'm using Gboard with an offline model downloaded but it's not as efficient as the one offered from Google on their Pixel phones. I am lacking accuracy, auto punctuation... Etc.

Samsung may have its own reasons for not licensing the assistant voice typing feature from Google or collaborating with OpenAI for integration into its keyboards. It could be due to strategic decisions, technical limitations, or priorities in developing their own features and services.

However, user feedback like yours is valuable, and it could prompt Samsung to consider improving voice typing capabilities on their devices in the future. In the meantime, using third-party keyboard apps like Gboard can provide alternative solutions with different features and performance levels.

They are already collaborating on many AI projects with Google so I'm not sure why they are skipping this very useful future which Google is intelligently offering on their Pixel phones even though their tensor processors are behind Snapdragon CPUs used on Galaxy s phones. I have been waiting for this feature for ages but it looks like Google will keep it like forever for their phones only which are far behind in terms of build quality and processor. Moreover, their phones are not available in most countries.

No, this is available on all Android phones and it is not that good compared to Gboard on pixel phones I'm talking about assistant voice typing as in the screenshot below from Gboard settings on Tensor based Pixel phones. ac60bf0bf5a80b8c2e1ca95789584e72_1000068711_1708016530.png

They shouldn't make it exclusive because it's an important feature and suitable for many people especially those with accessibility issues. Google is causing Android fragmentation where they are making certain features for their phones only and ignoring the rest of Android as if they are their enemies!

Similar thing Pixel users might be telling about other flagship phones. It's a part of business
