Google adds Gemini-powered dictation to Gboard, which could be bad news for dictation startups

Google adds Gemini-powered dictation to Gboard for an initial launch on Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel phones; the post does not disclose supported languages, pricing, offline behavior, or a rollout date.

Why it matters: HKR-H/K/R all pass: Gemini dictation lands inside Gboard with Galaxy and Pixel named, and the platform-bundling angle matters to AI startups. Missing language, pricing, offline mode, and timing keep it at the low featured band.
