Playing around with the Pixel 4 audio recorder

I’ve just found out that you can record yourself with the audio recording app that comes with Google Pixel 4. The app creates automatically creates a transcript of your recording so you can check and improve your pronunciation with it.

This is the transcript created by the app:

Okay, so this is just a sample recording to see how exactly the software works and how I can beg up my recordings to the cloud.

Beg up vs. back up

Transcript created by Google:

Now what’s interesting is that Google analyzed my recording. Almost immediately created a transcript and instead of back up back up yeah. Google thought that I said beg up which is interesting so apparently I have to work on my pronunciation and instead of saying back up. I need to say back up.

Very interesting.

Transcript:

Speak you can speak. So this is your transcript.

That’s it. So it’s it’s an amazing tool because what it does is it gives you access to a speech trainer and also a pronunciation an accent trainer. For free. Who is available non-stop unlimited and it gives you an amazing amount of confidence because you can assume that if the machine understands you people also will.
