San Francisco: Google has launched an artificial intelligence (AI) powered "Proofread" feature in its virtual keyboard Gboard, allowing beta users to have their text checked for spelling or grammar errors.
The Proofread option appears in the keyboard's toolbar in version 13.4, as a "Fix it" prompt with Google's usual generative AI symbol. A pop-up then explains how proofreading works, with text being sent to Google for processing if you enable the feature.
“The text that’s proofread will be sent to Google and temporarily processed to create grammar and writing suggestions,” the pop-up message read.
Users will be able to use the feature only if they accept these terms and conditions.
According to reports, tapping the "Proofread" option processes users' text and provides suggestions for spelling and grammar corrections, such as punctuation. Meanwhile, the "Fix it" button will appear alongside the suggestions and, when clicked, will automatically fix errors.
Meanwhile, Google has announced giving its Android brand a new makeover, adopting “Android” with a capital A instead of all lowercase letters and updating the bug droid logo to a 3D avatar.
“While we’ve added more curves and personality unique to Android, the new Android stylisation more closely mirrors Google’s logo and creates a balance between the two,” the company said.
