Galaxy watch Ultra 2. The Samsung keyboard speech input is not doing punctuation except for a comma. I've tried saying period and full.stop but neither work.

Gboard works, but I much prefer the flow of replying to SMS messages when using the Samsung keyboard. I can do it totally hands-free, where gboard requires me to touch the watch.

Does anyone know of a way to fix this, or if a fix to the Samsung Speech engine is in the works?

      I've seen posts on the subject dating back two or three years. One would think Samsung would have corrected it by now. I guess for the time being I will just do one line text replies from my watch.

      Instead of saying period hit the keyboard twice

      That kind of defeats the whole purpose of being completely hands-free and voice to text.

      Anyway, when doing voice recognition the keyboard doesn't even show up on the screen.
