    App Description

    Live Transcribe & Sound Notifications make everyday conversations and surrounding sounds more accessible among people who are deaf and hard of hearing, using just your Android phone or tablet.

    On most devices, you can directly access Live Transcribe & Sound Notifications with these steps:
    1. Open your device's Settings app.
    2. Tap Accessibility, then tap Live Transcribe or Sound Notifications, depending on which app you’d like to start.
    3. Use the Accessibility button, gesture or Quick Settings (https://support.google.com/accessibility/android/answer/7650693) to start Live Transcribe or Sound Notifications.

    Sound Notifications:
    • Get notified of potentially risky situations and personal situations based on sounds happening at home (for example, smoke alarms, sirens, baby sounds).
    • Add custom sounds to get notified when your appliances beep.• Get notifications with a flashing light or vibration to your mobile device or wearable.
    • List view lets you go back in history (currently limited to 12 hours) to see what was happening around you.

    Real-time transcription:
    • Transcribes in real time in over 80 languages and dialects.
    • Add custom words that you use frequently, like names or household items.
    • Set your device to vibrate when someone says your name.
    • Type responses in your conversation. Bring up your device’s keyboard and type your words for a continuous dialogue. Transcriptions still appear while you type.
    • Use external microphones found in wired headsets, Bluetooth headsets and USB mics for better audio reception.

    Referring back to transcription:
    • Choose to save transcriptions for three days. Saved transcriptions will stay locally on your device for three days so that you can copy and paste them elsewhere. (By default, transcriptions are not saved.)
    • Search within saved transcriptions.
    • Touch and hold text in transcription to copy and paste.

    Requirements:
    • Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) and up.

    2. Tap Accessibility, then tap Live Transcribe or Sound Notifications, depending on which app you’d like to start.
    3. Use the Accessibility button, gesture or Quick Settings (https://support.google.com/accessibility/android/answer/7650693) to start Live Transcribe or Sound Notifications.

    Sound Notifications:
    • Get notified of potentially risky situations and personal situations based on sounds happening at home (for example, smoke alarm, siren, baby sounds).
    • Add custom sounds to get notified when your appliances beep.• Get notifications with a flashing light or vibration to your mobile device or wearable.
    • Timeline view lets you go back in history (currently limited to 12 hours) to see what was happening around you.

    Real-time transcription:
    • Transcribes in real time. Text appears on your device as words are spoken.
    • Choose from over 80 languages and dialects and quickly switch between two languages.
    • Add custom words that you use frequently, like names or household items.
    • Set your device to vibrate when someone says your name.
    • Type responses in your conversation. Bring up your device’s keyboard and type your words for a continuous dialogue. Transcriptions still appear while you type.
    • See the volume of the speaker’s voice compared to the loudness in your environment. You can use this sound indicator to adjust your volume when you speak.
    • Use external microphones found in wired headsets, Bluetooth headsets and USB mics for better audio reception.

    Referring back to transcription:
    • Choose to save transcriptions for three days. Saved transcriptions will stay locally on your device for three days so that you can copy and paste them elsewhere. (By default, transcriptions are not saved.)
    • Search within saved transcriptions.
    • Touch and hold text in transcription to copy and paste.

    Requirements:
    • Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) and up.
