Google adds Gemini-powered dictation to Gboard, which could be bad news for dictation startups

Google is making its keyboard app smarter by adding AI-powered voice typing, which means you'll soon be able to dictate messages and emails more accurately on newer Samsung and Google phones. This is potentially bad news for smaller companies that built their entire business around dictation software, since Google's free built-in option could convince people to stop paying for third-party apps. If you rely on voice typing for work, this could be a convenient upgrade—but it also shows how big tech companies can quickly dominate new markets just by adding features to products everyone already uses.
