How to Add Offline Languages on Google Pixel 7 (Voice Input Speech)

This post will walk you through downloading a new language for offline voice input speech feature on the latest Google Pixel smartphone. Here’s a quick guide to add offline languages on Google Pixel 7.

Follow the rest of the onscreen prompts to finish downloading the language update. Once it’s finished, the recently downloaded language (update) should already be available for speech recognition offline. It will also be added in the existing list of languages under Your languages from the Add a language menu.

Deleting Languages

In case you’ve mistakenly downloaded a different language, then you can just remove it from the list of offline languages. To do this, simply tap on the language from the Your languages section then tap Uninstall in the pop-up window to uninstall the language update. Once the language update is uninstalled completely, it will no longer be used for offline speech recognition with the Gboard and other relevant apps on the phone.

You can also set your device to automatically update languages either via Mobile data or Wi-Fi network. If you prefer to do manually updating, then you can just set it to Do not update instead. Just configure the Auto update languages settings from the Speech Services by Google menu when needed.

How does the Voice Input System Work on Pixel 7?

As the name suggests, voice input refers to spoken commands that are used to control your phone. With the Google Voice service, you can pose questions or utter specific commands for your device to execute. The concept is similar to that of the Amazon Echo, Cortana and Siri.

One of the advantages of using voice input is execution speed. Apparently, talking is way much faster than typing. That said, expect your device to respond and process your input requests faster than when you’re typing.

And that’s all about adding offline languages on the new Google Pixel 7 smartphone.
