Netguard & Offline Voice typing.
When using Netguard, google offline voice typing doesn't work.
I will try to explain. Pixel 3, Android 12.
When online, voice typing connects to google to do the voice recognition and the keyboard stays. When you are offline it uses the downloaded voice pack and you get some options where the keyboard was. That works fine without Netguard.
The issue is that when you have no internet connection & Netguard is enabled, for some reason Voice Typing insists on trying to connect to google and the errors with can't connect.
Disable Netguard and the offline Voice Typing works.
When there is no data or wifi connection, Netguard says it is blocking all traffic (even though there can't be any internet traffic). I assume Voice Typing sees the Netguard routing as a internet connection and tries to do online voice typing and fails to connect. I would of expected it to revert to offline mode but doesn't. This seems to be poor design on googles part, I would expect it to revert to offline mode if it can't connect to the server for any reason.
Strangely, if I turn on aeroplane mode, it works fine.
Although this seems to be more of a google issue than Netguard, I thought I would share this in case other were having similar issues. It would be nice if there was a fix, other than disabling Netguard as I sometime forget to re-enable.
Cheers
