Google announced Rambler, a new AI-powered voice dictation feature for Gboard — its widely used Android keyboard app — at its Android Show: I/O Edition 2026 event on Tuesday morning. The launch puts Google in direct competition with the likes of Wispr Flow and Typeless, a growing crop of AI-powered dictation apps that have built audiences on desktop and mobile in recent years—most of which have yet to establish a strong foothold on Android.
Just like other dictation apps, Ramber removes filler words like “ums” and “ahs”. It also understands mid-sentence corrections like, “I am going to meet you on Wednesday at our usual coffee shop at 3 PM… umm, 2 PM.”
