PROJECT RELATE
In addition to Project Euphonia, Google is also beta testing a free, new app for Android phone users called Project Relate.
Project Relate is a continuation of years of research from both Google’s Speech and Research teams, made possible by over a million speech samples recorded by participants of its research effort. They are now looking for English-speaking testers in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States to try out the app and provide feedback to help improve it.
As an early tester, you will be asked to record a set of phrases. The app will use these phrases to automatically learn how to better understand your unique speech patterns, and give you access to the app's three main features: Listen, Repeat and Assistant.
Listen: Through the Listen feature, the Relate app transcribes your speech to text in real time, so you can copy- paste text into other apps, or let people read what you want to tell them.
Repeat: You can use the Repeat feature to restate what you’ve said using a clear, synthesized voice. We hope this can be especially helpful in face-to-face conversation or even when you want to speak a command to your home assistant device.
Assistant: Speak directly to your Google Assistant from within the Relate app, so you can take care of different tasks, such as turning on the lights or playing a song, with ease.
Editor’s Note: Special thanks to our good friend, Andy Fitzenrider, who is a person who stutters, for reaching out to the Stuttering Foundation to connect us with Bob MacDonald and his colleagues at Google to make this interview possible.
