There are a few extra features in the app as well that make it easier for those who are hard-of-hearing to use. The app uses Google's prowess in speech recognition to make things much simpler for those who are hard of hearing. Image: tech2/ ShomikĪs the name suggests, this app helps make everyday conversations much more accessible as it takes in speech through the phone’s microphone and converts it into captions in real-time. It has not reached all devices yet and will make its way to everyone in the next few days as stated in the blog post.Google Live Transcribe and Sound Amplifier can both be spotted under Accessibility Settings on a phone running Android Pie. Now, the feature has officially been rolled out for Android devices in the form of ‘Transcribe'. Back in January, Google had demoed Translate's upcoming transcription at an AI tech demo event in San Francisco.
The app, as seen in the demo at the company's hardware event last year, was able to listen to English speech and show it in text with great accuracy using speech recognition and artificial intelligence (AI). Google launched its Recorder App for the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL, and it was later made available on older Pixel phones as well. If that's not the case, the app will try to give users the main idea of what is being said. The feature allows you to see the original transcript, choose a dark theme, and change the text size by going to the settings menu.Īs of now, the Transcribe feature is said to work best in a quite environment with a single person speaking at time. After tapping on Transcribe you will have to select the source and target language from the dropdown and that's it.Īccording to the blog, you can pause or restart transcription by tapping the mic icon.
To use the Transcribe feature, you need to have the latest version of Google Translate installed which will then give you an option called ‘Transcribe' along with the pre-existing options of ‘Camera' and ‘Conversation'.
At the moment, the supported languages include English, German, Hindi, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Thai, and Russian. The Transcribe feature has been detailed on the official blog but essentially what it does is listen to speech in a certain language and then shows it as text in a different language. Starting in 8 languages, rolling out to Android today, more to come soon. We're launching a Transcribe feature in Google Translate that can convert speech into another language as it's happening.
