  "account": "Google's Gboard is set to enhance its voice-typing feature, Rambler, with two new toggles. The first toggle, \"use your contacts to spell names correctly,\" will allow users to utilize their contact list as a reference for transcribing and correcting speech. However, this feature may present challenges for users with extensive or diverse contact lists, as it lacks customization options. The second toggle, \"Remember corrected words,\" will enable Rambler to learn and utilize words that users have previously corrected during voice typing, improving the accuracy of subsequent transcriptions. Both features are currently in the beta version and could be rolled out in their final form soon. Users of Rambler can now import and export their corrected words, including those from different dialects or languages, enhancing the tool's versatility and adaptability.",
