What it does
Samsung voice input is a voice-typing engine built on Bixby's speech recognition. On the phones that carry it, the microphone key on the Samsung Keyboard can send your speech to it and type the result into any text field. It runs only while you are dictating. Device surveys show it on Galaxy phones such as the S10, S20 FE, A52s and A53, and not on the newest S24 and S25 system images.
