Step 2: Configure Voice Input Options

Inside the Samsung Keyboard settings, scroll until you find the "Voice input" section. You'll have the option to choose between Google Voice typing or Samsung voice input. If you select Samsung voice input, additional options will appear, such as downloading offline language packs. This can be especially useful if you want to use voice typing in various languages without an internet connection. Download the languages you need by selecting them from the available list.

If you are using Gboard as your primary keyboard, the process is slightly different. First, open the Gboard app by tapping on its icon from the app drawer or settings. From Gboard's main settings screen, go to "Voice typing".Make sure the toggle switch next to the voice typing option is turned on. Return to your keyboard, and you should now see the microphone icon ready for voice typing.

Step 4: Using Punctuation with Voice Commands

Once you've enabled voice typing on your preferred keyboard, using it is straightforward. Simply tap on the microphone icon and begin speaking. To insert punctuation, such as commas or periods, say the name of the punctuation mark during dictation. For example, saying "Hello comma how are you question mark" will be transcribed as "Hello, how are you?"
