Issue Description On the Galaxy Watch 8, the default Samsung keyboard currently does not support the “Speech-to-Text” feature in Vietnamese. This causes inconvenience for Vietnamese users who wish to reply quickly or dictate messages using voice input.
Meanwhile:
Gboard supports Vietnamese for speech-to-text,
But Gboard does not support the double-tap reply gesture, which is a key feature of Samsung’s default keyboard for one-handed use.
Real-World Impact Because of this limitation, users are forced to:
Switch to Gboard (and lose the convenient double-tap reply gesture), or
Continue using the Samsung keyboard but without Vietnamese voice input support.
This significantly reduces usability for Vietnamese users who need to respond quickly from the watch while moving or during workouts.
Request for Improvement Please add Vietnamese language support for the “Speech-to-Text” function on the default Samsung keyboard in an upcoming software update (One UI Watch 8.x or later).
This enhancement would allow users to:
Keep the double-tap quick reply gesture, and
Use convenient, natural Vietnamese voice input at the same time.
Expectation We hope Samsung’s development team will acknowledge this issue and include Vietnamese support in the next system update. This feature is essential for many users in Vietnam and would greatly improve the Galaxy Watch experience. 🇻🇳
Thank you for listening to user feedback and continuously improving the product!
