The February 2026 Windows 11 update is rolling out via the Release Preview channel with a Stable Channel deployment expected soon. It adds Enhanced Sign-in Security that supports external Windows Hello fingerprint readers, speeds up File Explorer when navigating network locations, introduces a guided Voice Access setup wizard, and adds a Wait time option for Voice Typing. Microsoft advises backing up beforehand (create a system restore point and full backup) due to ongoing update quality issues and potential uninstall difficulties from the January 2026 patch.

"Enhanced Voice Typing: Gboard's Seamless and Instant Speech-to-Text Feature"

Gboard is preparing a new "Seamless voice typing" feature in its latest beta version, allowing voice typing to start automatically when the keyboard is shown, eliminating the need to manually initiate it. This optional behavior can be turned on/off in the voice settings and aims to simplify the current two-stage process of tapping a text field and hitting the microphone icon. The feature could potentially work with non-Pixel speech-to-text on all Android devices, and is part of Gboard's efforts to streamline voice input.

The latest beta version of Gboard, version 13.3, reveals upcoming features such as a stylus handwriting mode, a compact voice typing user interface, generative AI stickers, and generative AI proofreading. The stylus handwriting mode allows users to write in any text field using a stylus, similar to Apple's Scribble feature. The compact voice typing UI includes a toolbar that can be easily moved and allows users to switch between the toolbar and the keyboard. Generative AI is also being used to offer proofreading suggestions and to generate emoji-style stickers.
