AUTO-STOP ON SILENCE
Finished speaking?
Let auto-stop take over.
Enable auto-stop with the timer button below Backspace or in the keyboard settings. When you pause, recording stops automatically. You can adjust the pause length or stop the recording manually at any time.
Auto-stop is off by default. Speech detection runs on your device and accounts for steady background noise; other voices and changing noise can affect it.
02 / FEATURESBUILT FOR YOUR WORDS

dictation.
Use your voice where it suits you, refine your text when you need to, and return to your usual keyboard whenever you like.
