Nothing upgrades voice-to-text with AI-powered ‘Essential Voice’

Nothing has just launched “Essential Voice,” the latest expansion of the brand’s AI suite, which is a major upgrade to voice-to-text.

Announced today, Essential Voice is a pretty major upgrade to the voice typing experience on Nothing Phones. Nothing positions this as a way to enhance voice typing with the ability to use either the keyboard of the Essential Key to start dictation.

Nothing says that Essential Voice can clean up transcription to remove filler words, as well as being able to auto-detect 100 languages. You can just say “translate this into Spanish” at the end of a message and Essential Voice will translate it. Commands go beyond that, with another example being “send to ‘my email'” where Essential Voice will auto-fill your email address, and the ability to mention a restaurant with the AI being able to add in the address.

It sounds pretty great, similar to the recent “Wispr Flow” app that launched a few months ago, just with native integration.

Nothing says that Essential Voice is rolling out to Phone (3) and Phone (4a) Pro “later this month” – in other words, next week – with Nothing Phone (4a) getting support in “early May.”
