Yesterday, I suddenly acquired an update to the “Emergency Information” app, which modified it into “Personal Safety.” Additionally, I discovered that vehicle crash detection and emergency message sharing were coming to Pixel smartphones. Today, I suddenly received an update for every other app: the leaked Google Recorder app from the Pixel 4 XL. This easy app helps you to record audio from the microphone, but that’s about it. With the update that I obtained, the Recorder app now routinely transcribes audio recordings and lets you seek via them.
I’m now not going to explain how I was given this replacement. I’m nevertheless positive now, although I do have a principle as to why. In any case, the first screenshot at the left (underneath) suggests the changelog within the Google Play Store, the same time as the second screenshot on the right (under) suggests the welcome display when you first launch the app after the update. The biggest new function is the automatic transcription of audio, which is also observed by audio seek so that you can discover essential phrases or phrases from a recording. Lastly, the welcome display tells the person that audio recordings, transcriptions, and searches are all handled offline.
Here are screenshots showing off the functions of the brand-new replacement. The audio transcription wasn’t a hundred percent accurate (I don’t genuinely blame it for not spelling my call successfully). However, it did get the gist of what I was saying. I recorded this in a quiet room, although I could expect it to be quite accurate anyway. I’ll try it out in other conditions to see how well it fares.
For reference, here’s what I said:
Hi, my name is Mishaal Rahman. I’m working for XDA-Developers and trying out the present-day model of the leaked Google Recorder app. By hook or by crook, I managed to get a replacement for this app, even though I don’t think that’s supposed to show up. So, I’m simply trying out the transcription function.
One cool function is the capacity to discover a specific part of the audio recording by trying to find a phrase or phrase spoken inside the recording. For example, after I searched for “XDA,” it delivered me to about 3 seconds into the recording, considering that that’s where I stated “XDA-Developers.”
I don’t assume this replacement to the Google Recorder app is generally available, but we’ll allow you to recognize it while it is introduced. Google will probably launch it with the Pixel 4 on October 15th.

Update: More Details
After digging into the APK, right here’s what I observed:
There’s a retail demo mode; we will probably see it running on Pixel 4 units in retail stores. Here’s a brief video of the demo.
Recognized audio occasions encompass Applause, Birds, Cats, Didgeridoo, Dogs, Knocks, Laughter, Music, Rooster, Speech, Phone, and Whistling.
The only presently supported transcription language is English (US.)
You can directly upload the audio document (.M4a) and transcription (.Txt) to Google Drive using long-pressing on a saved recording after deciding on “Save to Google Drive” within the menu.
