You can press and hold the power button to initiate voice typing on Samsung phones.
- Samsung lets Galaxy phone users activate voice typing via the power button, and it’s available on older devices too.
- This could be useful if you think the voice typing icon is in an inconvenient place, or if you want a more tactile experience.
Voice typing has improved by leaps and bounds over the last few years. Google Pixel phones and recent Samsung phones even offer offline voice typing for maximum convenience. But did you know that Samsung devices have a convenient way to activate this feature?
I recently found a few strings in the Samsung Keyboard app that suggested the ability to activate voice dictation via the power button. It turns out this feature and the strings aren’t actually new, though. I checked my Galaxy S23 Ultra, running One UI 6.1 and an older version of Samsung Keyboard, and it’s available here. In fact, I also spotted a Reddit thread about this feature from a year ago.
