Google's New Updates for Pixel 9 Pro Fold LiveTranscribe, Magnifier, and More

TapTechNews August 14th news, Google today released a press release. For the Pixel 9 Pro Fold foldable phone, a brand new LiveTranscribe interface has been released to improve face-to-face communication between people using different languages through the dual-screen.

LiveTranscribe

LiveTranscribe is a real-time transcription function provided by Google, providing real-time and continuous speech-to-text services for users worldwide.

Previously, during the user's use, the phone had to be oriented towards the other party to show their reply, but now Google has introduced a brand new dual-screen interface for foldable phones to allow users to communicate face to face more naturally.

Google has introduced a brand new dual-screen button in the new version of LiveTranscribe. After the user clicks, the outer screen will display transcription and typing to the other party, while the inner screen will display the user interface to facilitate face-to-face communication between people using different languages.

Magnifier

Google has also upgraded the Magnifier application launched last year, allowing users to switch between macro (fine print) and wide-angle (more scenes) lenses.

A larger magnifying glass allows you to search for specific words in a scene, such as when you are looking for a flight departure time at the airport or trying to find a vegetarian dish on a menu. TapTechNews attaches the relevant video as follows:

LiveCaption 

LiveCaption has newly added support for Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Chinese, Turkish and Vietnamese.

GuidedFrame

Users no longer need to use the TalkBack screen reader to immediately enable GuidedFrame in the PixelCamera settings, which can help blind or low-vision people take pictures by telling them where to point through voice.
