Fact · Dictation on phones and tablets
In August 2017, Google said voice input was already available for Hindi, before it extended voice input to eight more Indian languages.
Checked against its source on October 17, 2026
In the source's own words
“This feature was already available for Hindi.”
Type less, talk more in eight Indian languages, Daan van Esch, Google India Blog, 2017, Paragraph 2.
Open the original- What it measures
- Google's India team wrote this in its August 2017 post about Gboard and Search voice input for Indian languages.
- What it does not show
- Dated. The post describes 2017. It does not say whether Hindi voice input works offline, and Google has changed its speech systems since.
