Voice typing on Pixel devices is about to get a whole lot smarter. An APK teardown of the latest Gboard beta has uncovered evidence that Google is developing a personalized vocabulary system for Rambler, the AI-powered voice typing feature that remains exclusive to Pixel phones for the time being.
Rambler already impresses users with its ability to automatically strip out filler words and awkward pauses from dictated text, delivering clean transcriptions with minimal effort. However, the feature has one notable limitation: it doesn't retain any of the corrections you make or recognize your personal slang. That shortcoming appears to be on Google's radar, and a fix is in the works.
Personalized vocabulary features discovered in Gboard beta
The folks over at Android Authority dug into Gboard version 18.6.3.10 beta and uncovered strings pointing to an upcoming vocabulary feature designed to help Rambler adapt to individual users over time. According to the findings, one toggle would allow Rambler to remember words you've manually corrected, while another would grant the AI access to your contacts so it can accurately transcribe names during voice dictation — a longtime pain point for voice typing users.
The personalization doesn't stop there. Users will apparently be able to manually add words to their custom dictionary and browse the complete vocabulary list directly within Gboard's settings. Google is even building an export option, making it possible to share your personalized word list with others.
When will these features arrive?
There's no official release date for the upgraded Rambler capabilities just yet, but the signs are encouraging. The first hints of a smarter Rambler surfaced back in August, and the latest beta build contains multiple features aimed at making voice typing more accurate and tailored to each user. This steady progress suggests the rollout may not be too far off.
As with all features uncovered through app teardowns, there's always a chance plans could change before launch. Still, for Pixel owners who rely on voice typing, the promise of a Rambler that actually learns from them is certainly something to look forward to.
