yay for voice recognition!

 

I just want to say “yay!” because I found another technology fix that really makes my life easier. On my phone, I use the voice-to-text often. Up until now, most times it took a <long> time for the voice recognition to initiate. It would hang on “initiating” and about 70% of the time, not actually initiate and start the voice recognition.

Here is the fix I asked the Google search, “why does initiation Google verbal take so long?” The oracle offered this, among other things: go to apps, choose assistant, change from using the AI Gemini to Google Assistant.

That one change now means that almost instantaneously the voice recognition initiates/ starts with no issues. Wow. Yay.
