Google's Gboard gets offline AI dictation feature

Google is adding an Artificially Intelligent offline dictation feature on its Gboard keyboard for Pixel phones that would allow users to speak out emails and texts even without an Internet connection. "We're happy to announce the rollout of an end-to-end, all-neural, on-device speech recognizer to power speech input in Gboard which is always available, even when you are offline," Johan Schalkwyk, Speech Team, Google wrote in a blog post on Tuesday. To increase use-parameters of the speech recognition feature, Google said it has hosted the new model on the device in order to avoid the latency and inherent unreliability of communication networks.
