Live Transcribe, an app that translates spoken words in real-time, will receive an update that enables real-time sound event recognition. This includes sounds like dog barks or the doorbell.
Google announced an accessibility-focused app for those with hearing disabilities called Live Transcribe back in February. As the name suggests, Live Transcribe helps users view a real-time transcription of speech on their device, a feature that is nifty for those with hearing impairments or those that are hard of hearing. The app also lets users type-back responses through the device, in cases where the user cannot talk or does not wish to. Today, the search giant announced an update to the app that is coming next month, which brings with it a new sound event recognition feature.
