- Samsung is reportedly working on a new AI-powered voice typing feature for Galaxy phones with One UI 9.5.
- The new “Refine voice input” feature could automatically remove filler words and hesitations from dictated text.
- The feature appears to work similarly to Google’s Gboard Rambler, which debuted with the Pixel 11 series.
Samsung could soon introduce its own AI-powered voice typing tool on Galaxy smartphones.
One of the best new features on the Google Pixel 11 series is Gboard’s Rambler. For those unfamiliar, Rambler is essentially an upgraded AI-powered voice-to-text feature that allows users to speak whatever they want to type, even in an unorganized manner, and then uses AI to structure the text properly.
It refines sentences, removes filler words like “um” and “uh,” and can even understand commands. For example, you can use Rambler to turn a dictated message or email into a more casual or formal tone. And now, it looks like Samsung is planning to bring its own version of Rambler to Samsung Keyboard on Galaxy phones.
As spotted by SamMobile, Samsung has started working on a Rambler-like feature for One UI 9.5. The report reveals that the latest internal test build of One UI 9.5 includes a new feature called “Refine voice input” in Samsung Keyboard settings.
The description says the feature can clean up filler words, hesitations, and more, with the refined text appearing once you’ve finished speaking. The feature is reportedly powered by Galaxy AI within Samsung Keyboard.
Samsung hasn’t released any One UI 9.5 beta builds just yet, but once the beta arrives, we expect the feature to become available on Galaxy smartphones that support Galaxy AI. Based on the description, it will presumably work similarly to Google’s Rambler, although we’ll have to wait to see exactly how it works.
Of course, there are already other ways to access similar AI-powered voice typing features on your Android phone, including Microsoft’s SwiftKey and even unofficial apps that bring Gboard’s Rambler functionality to other devices.
Still, Rambler is arguably one of the best new features Google has added to Pixel phones, and it’s good to see Samsung working on bringing something similar to Galaxy smartphones as well.
