- What it is
- A September 2022 9to5Google article explaining that Google's 2021 voice-to-text system on Android was exclusive to the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, and that at the time it worked only in English, German and Japanese.
- How much weight it carries
- Written by a staff reporter who tested the feature on Pixel hardware. It is dated: the language list and device limits describe September 2022 and may have changed since, and the article does not say whether processing happens on the device.
