Google evaluating AI-powered 'Proofread' feature for Gboard

For Gboard, Google's first Android keyboard option, several new generative AI-based capabilities are in the works. Only beta testers have access to Gboard's most recent "Proofread" feature. This new option will start to show up on the Android beta version of Gboard starting with version 13.4. The AI-powered Gboard checks the text for spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors and fixes those issues using generative AI.

 

The new feature of proofread will be displayed on the toolbar of the keyboard. On tapping, the text is processed for spelling, grammar, and punctuation checks, and a revised version of it appears. The user can click on the thumbs-up option, after the edited text looks fine, to replace the original content with the revised version. Else, tap the thumbs down icon to ignore the changes.

 

Initially, the new feature appears as a ‘Fix it’ button in Gboard’s toolbar, and when the user will tap it, the keyboard will show a prompt saying, “The text that’s proofread will be sent to Google and temporarily processed to create grammar and writing suggestions.” This feature can help solve grammar problems in the app itself without going to other applications like Bard or ChatGPT or grammar correction tools like Grammarly.

 

Also, the tech giant is coming up with AI stickers named ‘Emogen’. Gboard will suggest unique stickers using generative AI. Apart from this, the “help me write feature” for Gmail and Docs will now be available in Gboard. Using this feature one can write text in a tone/style that they want and give the correct tone.
