        Now I know you’re from somewhere in the world where they don’t pronounce Z like zed!

        Aside though, the rest of that is great dictation, what app are you using?

            Ah, thanks!

            I’m using Sayboard which integrates well with Heliboard, but has lower quality than yours it seems. Its properly FOSS though, unlike Futo apps.

              Going to have a look at sayboard now. I’m not after a full keyboard or anything. I just need the dictation because I use the keyboard that comes with lineage or graphene, which I believe is just the AOSP keyboard.

              Edit: okay i am giving it a try so far it seems like it works well enough but i definitely wish it had a tone to let you know that the recording had started. It also appears to not work every time like it should. Also i don’t seem to be able to find a space bar in order to dictate a new sentence once i’m done with one which is somewhat irritating

          Actually, I just checked my voice assistant, it got CZM from “see-zed-em” just fine. American English settings on my phone with a PNW grey accent. In fact, saying “see-zee-em” failed more for me, thinking I said CCM or Cesium multiple times.

            That’s what they were saying. We know OP doesn’t say zed because you’d expect to get “CZM” saying it that way. We know OP says zee because the dictation mistakenly typed CZM instead of the desired Cesium - the atom used in atomic clocks.
