What’s different in the Helakuru update and the GBoard update
Well, to start off, Sinhala voice typing on GBoard requires a bit of configuration. You need to go to your settings and set Sinhala as the language for voice typing. In the case of Helakuru though, its just a matter of installing the app and using it as you normally would. It’s a minor convenience. But hey, still a convenience nonetheless.
I’ll admit. I’m not the one to use the voice feature on my smartphone much. But seeing a phone understand your mother tongue was pretty cool and fun at the same time. Both the apps aren’t exactly perfect in understanding everything we say in Sinhala. Additionally, both apps seem to find it difficult to follow an entire sentence. Well, that’s nothing to complain about really. This is a new feature after all. But if you look at which app understood us better, its actually difficult to point out a clear winner. Certain times the ability of each app to recognize Sinhala depends on the complexity of the word/phrase.
