I love everything about this keyboard, especially the easy access talk-to-text icon! It's the perfect app for people with various disabilities. The only downside is its inability to recognize words in other languages despite using second language recognition. English is my primary language, but I frequently type/talk in Spanish and French. It doesn't recognize even the most basic words.

Latest update has been catastrophic on Pixel 7. Keyboard gets "stuck" on screen so you lose the bottom half of your screen, or doesn't come up automatically when tapping a text field for input. Sometimes force closing the app you were using the keyboard in helps, but other times you need to reboot your phone to get things working again. I'm having to reboot my phone 3-4 times a week because of this keyboard.

I got Gboard to have voice to text again as I could not find it on my samsung s24 ultra. There are a lot if things I like about Gboard and only a few I don't like. The things I don't are easily summarized by "the buttons are a little different and don't match my muscle memory... yet" well worth the change! if you get it, take the time and go through the gboard settings to have it act the way you want.
