Nothing has now launched a new feature called Essential Voice. Long-press the Essential Key or activate Essential Voice on the keyboard.
Essential Voice lets you speak naturally, and it will transcribe your words into clean, ready-to-use writing. It will tidy up your words and get rid of stutters as well as “ums” and “uhs.”
The average person types 36 words a minute on a phone.
But, they can say it four times faster.

Essential Voice includes the following features:
- Auto-correction: Improves clarity and structure and removes filler words – like ums and uhs.
- Personal Mappings: Custom voice shortcuts for words, links, templates and repeated phrases.
- Translation Agent: Speak in one language, ask Essential Voice to write text in another.
- 100+ Languages: Wide language support with auto-detection. You can also select preferred regional variants like Latin American Spanish or Simplified Chinese
Essential Voice is now available on Phone (3) and Phone (4a) Pro and is coming to Phone (4a) shortly.
Nothing is also working to make Essential Voice more context-aware and will adapt to whether you’re sending a message, sending a work email, or even searching the internet. It’s also working to expand the feature across our ecosystem of smart products.
