By skyforbes I am a current ChatGPT Plus subscriber, really wanting to switch to Gemini Advanced. I really want to pay for the subscription today, but the user experience in the Gemini Mobile App (specifically Voice Mode) makes it unusable for me.
The Dealbreaker:
The Speech-to-Text "endpointing" is far too aggressive. If I pause for even a second to think, the app cuts me off and auto-sends the prompt before I am finished. This completely ruins voice typing.
The Fix:
Please implement a voice typing toggle on/off button that never auto-sends. I need the ability to tap a button, speak freely with natural pauses, and tap again to send just like ChatGPT.
Other Friction Points:
- Transcription Quality: The accuracy lags behind competitors.
- Ecosystem Sync: Conversations in Google AI Studio do not sync with the Gemini App, creating a disjointed experience.
If you update the Voice Mode to allow for natural pauses without auto-sending, I will cancel my ChatGPT subscription and switch to Gemini immediately. Please take my money; just fix the UX.
Does anyone else get bugged by this awful UX?
