The microphone feature is very static and faulty. It takes 3 taps to even be able to begin a sentence. I can only get two or three words in before the microphone stops on its own; despite going into the settings in giving it all the permissions it needs to fully function. It's very frustrating and maddening when I'm trying to voice type a long text message.

Customisable & excellent. Voice typing is too error prone providing incorrect words from speech which wouldn't happen if autofill form data or real-time grammar was checked for context. Eg, I say "still waiting" & 'steel' or 'steal' is returned which context/grammar would prevent. Clipboard is brilliant & spell & grammar checking; near perfect. With over 50 hrs voice typing, 'still' too many errors. Voice punctuation better if both 'period' or 'fullstop' ='.' & exclamation point / mark ='!' too.

The autocorrect has gotten significantly worse recently. It replaces words in sentences trying to to use context to fix it. (Just had to change it during this review from "on sentences" to "in sentences" which is what I typed.) It is now slower to type with autocorrect than without because you have to fight with it. Sometimes you have to correct it's errors more than once on the same word.
