Episode Details

Android's architecture treats your keyboard and your speech recognition engine as two independent system services — you can set each one separately. But most keyboards bundle their own speech-to-text and route the mic button straight to it, bypassing your system default entirely. This episode digs into the gap between what Android was designed to do and what the apps on top of it actually let you do, with concrete examples from HeliBoard and FUTO's voice input project.
