Samsung voice to text got even worse

[AserE]

I’ve been a long-time user and advocate of Samsung’s ecosystem, and one feature I rely on heavily is the voice-to-text functionality within the Samsung Keyboard. However, after a recent update (or for some unknown reason), I’ve noticed a significant drop in accuracy on my Galaxy S25 Ultra.

The Issues I’m Facing:

1. Frequent Incorrect Word Recognition – Words that were once accurately transcribed are now consistently wrong.

2. Auto-Correction Gone Wrong – I’ve observed that sometimes the correct word initially appears, only for it to be automatically changed to the wrong one. This makes the experience frustrating and forces me to manually fix errors, defeating the purpose of voice input.

3. A Noticeable Performance Decline – Compared to previous versions, voice recognition seems slower and less intelligent in adapting to context.

Why This Matters:

Many users rely on voice-to-text for efficiency, accessibility, and hands-free usage. A degradation in this feature severely impacts productivity, especially for those who use their phone for work, messaging, and multitasking.

Call to Action:

I urge Samsung engineers and the development team to investigate and prioritize a fix for this issue. If others are experiencing the same problem, please comment, share, or report this to help get Samsung’s attention!

Samsung, please address this ASAP—this feature is essential to many of your users.

Switch your TTS engine to Google Voice.  It's more accurate. Settings/general management/keyboard list and default - slide on Google Voice Typing.

I 2nd this!

I agree, it's more accurate, but it doesn't add any punctuation 😞

[realaud]

That's odd. It does for me. I don't use TTS very often but I think I speak the punctuation. Google TTS actually puts the punctuation mark you speak, unlike Samsung, which writes it out.

[AserE]

ooh, maybe that's why. I usually don't speak the punctuation.
I'll try that. Thanks!!!!

Takes a little getting used to.

Yes, it is terrible. Samsung should be ashamed. Perhaps if they improved the microphones on these phones they could also be better. The microphones- I want to see the specs on these and if they have improved over the last 10 years. They sure don't seem like it. Poor quality, Samsung.

[realaud]

I find nothing wrong with the microphones on these phones. Also, we just established that TTS works better with Google voice, which indicates it has nothing to do with the mics.

They should be very ashamed. Speech to text on Samsung s25 ultra blows! That's with the Samsung speech to text TTS or Google TTS. They both suck **bleep** because of the inferior microphones.
