Google's voice "understanding" is really really good nowadays.

Couldn't think of the word, so went with understanding. Anyways:

I like to use captions when watching videos / shows / movies, etc. I try to enable them on everything I watch. Not sure why, but I often find myself reading them a lot.

Google's auto captions on YouTube are amazing. They'll still not fully pick up exactly what they're saying, but it's good 8 out of 10 times. This applies to Google's sound setting on Android as well, it's really good.

A big one that I'm finding myself using is voice-to-type, whatever it's called. I use this a lot to respond to emails that are in long form. I type fast on a keyboard, but on the phone I'm pretty slow, probably around 40-50 wpm compared to around 100-110 wpm on a physical keyboard. This also helps with responding to texts, even if they're quick messages.

Would definitely recommend trying it out.
