It seems to me that Android's voice-to-text dictation for messaging is much worse than it was a year or two ago.

  • it never learns how to spell my pet's name
  • makes grammar errors of number and tense
  • inserts words that are ridiculous in context
  • adds "oh" in contexts that are unfathomable

I don't remember any of these problems several years ago.

I deliberately haven't upgraded my google pixel 3a, so no change for me.

I'm curious how do you transer your files to your PC (if you do)?

I can only select and transfer about 100 audio/transcription files at a time. Which is  a real PTA. With my dyslexia it's tough to keep track of where I am in the list, since I can't just "Select all", and I have to write down which files are next to mark and copy

Also, how would you train the program to spell your pet's name?  I haven't seen any way to give the program feedback on spelling
