According to the company, the app is made possible by over one million speech samples recorded by participants of the company’s research efforts. The app is still in development and not yet available to download. The company is currently looking for English-speaking testers in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States to try the app and provide feedback.
As early testers on Project Relay, people would be asked to record a set of phrases. The app will use these phrases to automatically learn how to better understand unique speech patterns, and provide access to the app’s three main features: Listen, Repeat and Assist.
The listening feature on the app transcribes speech to text in real time, so users can copy-paste the text into other apps or read people what they want to tell them.
The repeat feature restores what the user has said using a synthesized voice. This feature can be helpful in face-to-face conversations or even when a user wants to speak a command to a home assistant device. The Assistant feature lets users talk directly to Google Assistant from within the respective app.
