Trilingual here. Gboard on my pixel 10 pro does support swipe type while code switching between multiple languages. Works reasonably well. Accuracy is a bit lower for words that are collisions across languages

Studio-quality audio recording may not be available in all regions, and availability may vary due to local laws and regulations.

Wonder what this is about. Higher power radio transmission? I know most BT mic used to happen with AMR-WB on HFP1.6... newer BT LE ones use mSBC which is better... What codec/transport-protocol do Airpods use?

This is great. Is there a version of this that does p2p off-grid messaging? Use cases from: 1. Coordination between group members during camping in the wilderness. A mesh solution that works across iOS and Android would be ideal but mesh isn't a hard requirement either. 2. Messaging within a group who's flying together but across different seats/sections at cruising altitude in a long haul flight.

Is there something like this but for calls?

Make your phone into an SIP/VoIP server? So that you can receive and make calls from any/many Internet clients while the Android phone with SIM is plugged in at home.

This is beautiful!

I've been using an Apple Watch Ultra with my Pixel using some of the same hacks.

0. I use messaging apps like WhatsApp, and Messenger which are multi device. So I log into them on the home iPhone. (WA finally added 'login as companion device' on iOS only a year ago). 1. Pushover to get notifications from any other apps that don't support multi device. (Signal ugh). I used Buzzkill to do the pushing from the android devices. Very reliable once set up. 2. I use Google Voice for my calls and SMS so that was easy to get on iPhone. (No calls though. The watch doesn't support sip/voip calls except Apple's own FaceTime ugh) 3. I spent a year doing cellular on Watch. I joined various family members' premium plans of the big 3 US networks (as well asany MVNOs like Visible) to use cellular on the watch. I paid ~$10/mo via this route. All good. But I stopped early this year because I found the cellular reliability to be just... piss poor garbage. (This is extensive use across US as well as international travel in Europe and Asia) It really wasn't worth cellular I realized.

4. I use Apple laptops, so the "watch to unlock" feature is useful multiple times a day :)
