Pixel does speech-to-text computation locally, right on the phone. iPhone/Siri does speech-to-text computation in the Cloud, it records your speech, sends the recorded speech to some server on the Internet, that server does speech-to-text computation, then send the text back to the iPhone, hence the lag.

Any claim that Pixel is superior to iPhone doesn't pass the giggle test, which is something science uses to validate results.

Ah, thanks, so it's not related to the phone's CPU power at all. But then it should be very similar on every other sufficiently powerful Android phone with the same software.
It's so amazing how the "fat client vs thin client" issues pop up and are shifted back and forth almost continuously for the last 30 years.

I think it's from 1922

It’s possible to do both. Google/Pixel used to do speech-to-text in the Cloud like Apple/Siri, then somewhere between hardware and algorithmic advancements, switched to doing speech-to-text locally. There is no fundamental reason why a system cannot do both — do local speech-to-text to get a first order approximation quickly (so the user starts seeing text very quickly), but also do speech-to-text in the Cloud for refinements (user sees improved results a second or two later, such as better accuracy and resolution of special nouns that better fits the larger context).

That is true. Some people look like they are 60 when they are 20, continue to look 60 when they are 60, and finally look younger than their age when they are over 60. LOL

I used to tell my patients (obviously only those who had a good sense of humor) that all newborns look like Edward G. Robinson.
