I used this app for many years now, but suddenly the speech to text function started performing terribly for a few months now, across different languages. Since then, it understands, and writes words that do not exist in the given language regularly, instead of existing words, which I want to dictate and are very easy to guess based on the context.

Gboard is great, I like its features such as, grammar correction, translated text output, emoji and number row, exportable dictionary. Would be nice if dictionary field can have a max of 64 characters. Another nice feature is a clipboard that lets users save lots of clips. But these clips miss a search button, and a shortcut key that allows for quick call up of certain clips. I use the clipboard to store lots of idioms, but can't find a quick way to call up an idiom.

I switched to a pixel 9 from an s10+... Was not expecting to downgrade in terms of typing capabilities. I frequently send typos now, and I regularly have to backspace a few words to correct mistakes. And worst of all, sometimes when I go to backspace, I create new typos! It's like night and day. Not to mention half of my taps (like the send button in the messenger app) don't register along the edges of the screen. Can't wait until this lease is up.
