You may have try using Google voice assistant or any of alternative to writing. But, the Artificial Intelligence couldn't translate your voice properly even giving you wrong interpretation interpretation. But now Google has stopped this problem in an additional 30 languages. Now "Google's speech recognition supports 119 language varieties."

In Google blog yesterday, the tech giant said it has made it's speech recognition available in 119 language varieties, in Gboard on Android, Voice Search and more. Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and Tanzania English Accents are among the 30 languages added.

"To enable Voice Typing in your keyboard, install Gboard from the Play Store and pick your language (press the G in the suggestion strip and select the Settings wheel). Then just tap the microphone to start speaking."

"To enable Voice Search, open the Google app and pick your language in the Voice settings menu (tap the top-left menu and go to Settings, then pick Voice and select your language)."

In English in the United States, users can now use voice to express emoji, starting today. This new feature will be made available soon in other languages.
