As a part of this week’s Pixel Drop, Google expanded support for the best feature on the Pixel 11 series. We’re talking about Rambler, of course, which is the super powerful voice-to-text feature that somewhat magically turns your rambling into coherent text through Gboard.
Google announced the expansion of Rambler to the Pixel 10 series through a community support post, but has yet to fully update the Rambler support page to show that the Pixel 10 has access. That might lead you to believe that it hasn’t gone live yet, but we’ve updated our Pixel 10 Pro to the latest beta and it was given access, with a welcome message that confirms access.
Once you update to the November Android update, you’ll be welcomed with a message about the November Pixel Drop. If you own a Pixel 10 series phone, you’ll see Rambler listed as the top new feature, with an explanation page about it.
For those not familiar with this amazing feature, you’ll know you have it when you open your keyboard and see the little Gemini star within the voice-to-text microphone button (see below). On first tap when live, a pop-up will explain how you can fully take advantage.
Rambler will attempt to clean up your voice-to-text sessions by removing “ums” and “ahs,” it’ll let you voice edit the text it produces, and it can switch between languages if you happen to speak several. But really, you’ll just want to ramble at it and see what it can return. You may even find yourself speaking longer messages than you typically would because it’s so good at transcribing them.
Again, we love Rambler and have talked about it on several occasions. It is without a doubt one of the standout features of the Pixel 11 series and we find ourselves using voice-to-text more now than ever. Other Pixel 11 users continue to discover its powers too.
Enjoy, Pixel 10 owners!
