A Live Translate feature can translate incoming messages into 11 languages - not just in the Messages app, but in third-party apps like WhatsApp, Signal, Facebook Messenger Lite and others. What other voice-powered features can I find on the Pixel 6?Īssistant Voice Typing is just one of the many new capabilities involving your voice that the Tensor chipset fuels. Also when it was time to send the message, I had to physically tap the iPhone screen to stop recording and manually send the message on the Pixel 6, I simply used voice commands. Siri, like Assistant Voice Typing, was smart enough to capitalize the "Chinese" in "Chinese food." But it did not convert "heart emoji" into the proper graphic. But on the iPhone, that message appeared as one run-on sentence dictated by a madman. The Pixel 6 punctuated two of three sentences in my message more or less properly - the period was left off the final sentence and the string of dining options I mentioned wasn't separated by commas. iPhone 13 text (right) (Image credit: Tom's Guide)
I dictated the same message to my wife on different phones - once using Assistant Voice Typing in the Messages app on a Pixel 6, and then again, on an iPhone 13 using the Siri assistant. It's when you stack up the Pixel 6's voice typing capabilities against other phones that you really see Tensor's power. How does Assistant Voice Typing compare to using dictation on iPhone 13? The apps that seem best equipped to work with Assistant Voice Typing are Messages and Gmail at this point, as you can not only dictate text with alarming accuracy but use voice commands as well. Likewise, in Chrome, I can speak web addresses, but I can't find a way to send the browser to that page without resorting to taps. I was able to dictate tweets in the Twitter app, for example, though the punctuation didn't seem as accurate as it did in Google's built-in apps, and there didn't appear to be any voice command for sending the tweet. But not every app seems optimized for Assistant Voice Typing. In theory, any app with an on-screen keyboard lets you type with your voice when you hit that microphone button. You can also be more direct by saying commands like "Set Recipient" or "Set Subject." What apps support Assistant Voice Typing? Voice commands also come in handy when filling out email fields, where Next and Previous can help you jump between fields. "Delete" takes out the previous word, and "Undo" undoes any inadvertent Clears or Deletes.
Other voice commands like "Clear" and "Clear All" can help edit your messages - the former deletes the last sentence while the latter zaps the entire message. Reciting the lyrics to Sam Cook's "You Send Me" will not, for example, trick Assistant Voice Typing into sending off your message prematurely.) (What if you need to include the word "Send" in your message? In my testing I've found that the feature is usually smart enough to pick up on the context. Just say "Send" and Assistant Voice Typing is smart enough to send your text or email on its merry way. Some of the Tensor magic kicks in when it's time to stop talking and start sending your message. (Image credit: Tom's Guide) Are there any special commands for Assistant Voice Typing?
