Will Linux phones become a viable alternative to the Android/iOS duopoly?
Google's Pixel 11 and Googlebook have introduced the Rambler voice-to-text feature, which employs AI to improve voice recognition and output quality. However, this feature is limited to Pixel 11 devices. A developer has successfully ported the Rambler feature to other Android phones, albeit with potential risks. The PixelBoard app, derived from Gboard, enables users to access Rambler and other writing tools on their Android devices.
The app can be downloaded via the project's GitHub page, but users must install it at their own risk. Once installed, the app performs similarly to Rambler on Pixel 11 devices. Although the project provides alternative installation methods, including patching the existing Gboard on your phone, the effectiveness of these methods is uncertain.
Google has not disclosed plans to bring Rambler to other devices in the future, leaving third-party modifications as the only option for now. Those who prefer the Play Store can utilize Microsoft's SwiftKey as an alternative.
