A teardown of the latest Gboard beta indicates Rambler could soon remember corrected words and recognize contact names. The update also points to custom vocabulary imports. Rambler remains exclusive to the Pixel 11 series, with rollout timing still uncertain.
Findings in the latest Gboard beta suggest that Rambler could soon remember corrected words and accurately recognize names from a user’s contact list. Rambler is the Gemini-powered voice typing feature in Gboard. Currently, it makes sense of voice input to string together coherent sentences while omitting pauses or filler words, but it cannot save corrections or learn from a user’s vocabulary over time.
An examination of Gboard beta version 18.6.3.10 reveals where these tools would live. Settings pages in the beta show a new Remember corrected words toggle. The attached text reads: “Learn and use words you’ve corrected when voice typing with Rambler.” A new Contact names toggle also checks phone contacts to accurately identify names during voice typing.
The beta introduces a brand-new Voice correction list on the settings page, where users can see the full list of corrected words. The three-dot menu at the top right includes an Import option to manually add words for Rambler to learn, while an Export option lets users share custom word collections with others. Users can also erase every corrected or saved word with a Clear all collected words button. Tapping it opens a dialog to confirm deleting all past corrections from Rambler.
These settings expand on clues of a dictionary feature first spotted in an APK teardown in August, showing that development has progressed further. As with most early feature discoveries, rollout timing remains difficult to predict. Since the tools have been in development for a few months, however, they may land on Google’s keyboard app imminently.
Rambler in Gboard currently remains exclusive to the Pixel 11 series, according to a support page. If the past is any indication, there is some hope that Google could bring it to older devices, such as the Pixel 10 lineup.
