Google pixel 3a, reading your comment: "for me it seems like Google voice typing is getting worse and worse. It capitalizes random words in a sentence like this. It's specifically ignores the word o clock."

See! I don't know who at Google has this personal vendetta but it has to be on purpose. You say "We start at three o'clock" and it just types "We start at 3" when what you want it to type is "We start at 3:00". You can sit there saying "one o'clock, two o'clock, three o'clock, four o'clock" and it just types out "1234". It knows the word I'm using but ignores it on purpose.

It's a real issue for me as "4:00" has three significant digits, it's specific, whereas "4" might mean anything between 3:50 and 4:10.

It's a pain, but can you say "four colon zero zero?"

Nope! Google ignores that too and you just get "400".
