Nothing upgrades voice-to-text with AI-powered ‘Essential Voice’

Source: 9to5Google

Overview

Nothing has just launched Essential Voice, the latest expansion of the brand’s AI suite, which is a major upgrade to voice‑to‑text.

Announced today, Essential Voice is a pretty major upgrade to the voice typing experience on Nothing Phones. Nothing positions this as a way to enhance voice typing with the ability to use either the keyboard or the Essential Key to start dictation.

Essential Voice can clean up transcriptions by removing filler words and can auto‑detect 100 languages. You can say “translate this into Spanish” at the end of a message and Essential Voice will translate it. Commands go beyond that—for example, saying “send to ‘my email’” will auto‑fill your email address, and mentioning a restaurant will add its address automatically.

It sounds pretty great, similar to the recent “Wispr Flow” app that launched a few months ago, but with native integration.

Availability

Nothing says that Essential Voice is rolling out to Phone (3) and Phone (4a) Pro “later this month” – in other words, next week – with Phone (4a) getting support in “early May.” Source
