Developer Akshay Kadam has released PixelBoard, a modified Gboard application that makes Google's Rambler AI voice typing feature accessible on non-Pixel Android devices. Rambler processes speech after a user finishes talking, automatically formatting text, correcting grammar, and removing filler words. [1][2]

What changed

The modified keyboard app can be installed from GitHub without requiring root access, and the developer states it will be updated regularly as new Gboard versions arrive. [2]

The context

Rambler launched earlier in the year as an exclusive AI-powered voice typing tool on the Google Pixel 11 series. [1]

What remains uncertain

Installing unofficial modified APK files carries security and privacy risks, and Google could potentially block the workaround through future Gboard or server-side updates. [1]
