So, I'm not quite sure I understand. I know that they use CZM atoms for atomic clocks, and they are extremely accurate. So, will this be used for atomic clocks, too? Or is it more accurate? Or is this for something totally different entirely? It appears to me as though this is something different entirely. But I don't see why it could not be used for an atomic clock if it's even more accurate than Seism.
Cesium?
Yes, damn dictation
Now I know you're from somewhere in the world where they don't pronounce Z like zed!
Aside though, the rest of that is great dictation, what app are you using?
FUTO voice input
https://app.futo.org/fdroid/repo?fingerprint=39d47869d29cbfce4691d9f7e6946a7b6d7e6ff4883497e6e675744ecdfa6d6d
Ah, thanks!
I'm using Sayboard which integrates well with Heliboard, but has lower quality than yours it seems. Its properly FOSS though, unlike Futo apps.
Going to have a look at sayboard now. I'm not after a full keyboard or anything. I just need the dictation because I use the keyboard that comes with lineage or graphene, which I believe is just the AOSP keyboard.
Edit: okay i am giving it a try so far it seems like it works well enough but i definitely wish it had a tone to let you know that the recording had started. It also appears to not work every time like it should. Also i don't seem to be able to find a space bar in order to dictate a new sentence once i'm done with one which is somewhat irritating
Actually, I just checked my voice assistant, it got CZM from “see-zed-em” just fine. American English settings on my phone with a PNW grey accent. In fact, saying “see-zee-em” failed more for me, thinking I said CCM or Cesium multiple times.
That’s what they were saying. We know OP doesn’t say zed because you’d expect to get “CZM” saying it that way. We know OP says zee because the dictation mistakenly typed CZM instead of the desired Cesium - the atom used in atomic clocks.
