Nothing has introduced an on-device AI-powered dictation tool that processes speech without relying on cloud services. The tool supports over 100 languages.

The dictation feature operates locally on devices, handling speech recognition and conversion to text directly on the hardware rather than sending audio to external servers. With support for more than 100 languages, the tool aims to serve a global user base across Nothing's device ecosystem. The on-device processing approach offers potential privacy benefits by keeping audio data local. On-device dictation has become increasingly common among smartphone and hardware manufacturers as AI models have become more efficient. The feature integrates with Nothing's existing software and hardware offerings. The tool's performance and accuracy relative to cloud-based alternatives remain key factors for user adoption. Nothing joins other manufacturers in prioritizing local processing for voice features.
