Is it possible to disable/remove the speech-to-text button on Android in the address bar?

I keep accidentally tapping it when trying to tap at the end of the address to edit it. Currently this is my biggest struggle with Firefox.

Was just having this issue.

Go to settings> search> at the bottom should be "address bar preference" where you'll find the "show voice search" toggle.

That was it, thank you so much!

I recommend Mull, btw Google gboard is reading everything you type, I recommend Futo Keyboard, Heliboard or Florisboard

Futo keyboard is nice, thanks for the recommendation!

+1 for Florisboard

I use Florisboard myself, for its action bar and the priceless clipboard menu (also very secure as it is not shared with the system clipboard).

But Heliboard and Futo Keyboard have autocorrect, and Futo keyboard also voice input, really cool.

Heliboard with FUTO voice is the one

You dont need Futo voice, Futo keyboard has a worse UI but allows to import the same models (the biggest one is the only one that has good results) externally.

Sure but if you don't want a worse UI then you can use these models with Heliboard, best of both worlds

Is the UI that different?

I use HeliBoard with Sayboard, don't want to support a company like FUTO that isn't properly FOSS

octochamp@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 2y

very fair tbh

Honestly it's source available, and you can make a fork of it as long as it's non-commercial and doesn't use the futo name.

I'm fine with it, the liscence, while unusual, seems perfectly fine to me

I just started using FUTO, text to speech is a bit slower than g board but works about as well.

Swipe and word prediction seems to work just about the same as Gboard

I've configured mine to look so similar it looks almost the same (amoled dark theme, number row, symbol hints, reduce press delay to 150ms)

Biggest thing I miss is gif search, I switch to gboard for that then switch back.

Gboard settings -> voice typing should turn it off for you

Weird, mine doesn't have this

maeries@feddit.de · 1 pts · 2y

It depends on the keyboard I guess

muhyb@programming.dev · 2 pts · 2y

That's a keyboard option. You can use something like Heliboard and it's optional there.

Check in the settings, it's there.

If I'm not wrong, Fennec (Firefox android fork) doesn't have that.
