Google Project Relate is developing an app to help people with speech impairments communicate by tailoring the speech recognition to their speach profile. Profject Relate is currently looking for volunteers to test and provide feedback to help improve the app.
The app provides functions to help with dictation, repeating spoken word in synthetic voice and accessing Google Assistant. Developments in voice recognition have had a profound impact on lives over the past 5 years, the project is helping to ensure no one is left behind.
The Relate app includes three key features. Listen transcribes what someone is saying in real time, allowing them to send what they've said as a text, copy and paste it into other apps or let people read what they're saying. Repeat restates what someone says in a clear computerized voice, hopefully making face-to-face interactions more seamless. Lastly, Assistant connects with the Google Assistant to carry out commands such as "Take a selfie," "Turn off the lights" or "Play music."
