Apple has introduced several improvements to voice-to-text capabilities in iOS, particularly through enhancements to Siri and the integration of Apple Intelligence. These improvements include:
-
Natural Language Understanding: Siri now has richer language understanding, allowing users to speak more naturally. Even if you stumble over your words, Siri will understand what you're getting at. This is part of the broader improvements to Siri's capabilities, making it more contextually relevant and personal.
-
Voice Input on Platforms: On platforms like iOS and iPadOS, users can use voice input for any text field by tapping the microphone icon that appears with the keyboard. This feature is also available through the web speech API, which allows real-time voice response and processing locally on the device, ensuring privacy.
-
Integration with Writing Tools: Apple Intelligence powers new writing tools that help users rewrite, proofread, and summarize text. These tools are integrated into system text and web views, enhancing the overall text input experience.
