Artificial intelligence could soon be on hand to help you pen faultless text messages, by correcting the spelling and grammar of the message on the fly.

Google, via its Gboard virtual keyboard application, is poised to offer just that, according to a keen-eyed user at 9to5Google. The latter was able to test an option, dubbed "Proofread," available to certain users of the beta version of the app's next update. Gboard is Google's official virtual keyboard, offering a host of interesting tools, from voice and gesture input to automatic translation. In addition to these, "Proofread" reportedly allows users to check the spelling and grammar of a text, correct it, and even reword it if necessary, all powered by generative AI.

When this feature is selected, a pop-up window explains how the proofreading function works, with the text sent directly to Google for processing and, if necessary, correction. It's a kind of enhanced version of the existing autocorrect feature. Note that artificial intelligence should soon be able to reword messages in a different tone, as well as create stickers relating to a given text.

In the spring, the American giant demonstrated a new feature in Google Messages, called "Magic Compose," which, with the help of artificial intelligence, can generate personalized text messages, rewritten in different tones and even in the form of a poem. In the future, Google plans to develop several new features, again based on generative AI, across its various mobile applications.

As is often the case with Google, these features will initially be available to US users. – AFP Relaxnews
