Accessibility
Made for the way that you want to use it.
Sound, sight and so much more.
Everyone uses their device differently. So we look at cutting-edge technology and ask, 'How can this solve a challenge for a real person?' From tools that help people know more about what's around them to products that create easier conversations by instantly turning speech into text. It’s more than learning what real people need. It’s about building solutions that help.
Audio
Audio features so you never miss a beat.
Live Transcribe
Get real-time captions right away as you’re having a conversation. Live Transcribe can catch tricky nuances like the difference between 'new Yorkshire Terriers' and 'New York terrace'. So when someone’s talking, you can stay in the moment.
Live Caption
With a single tap, Live Caption automatically captions videos, podcasts and audio messages – even stuff that you record yourself. Without ever needing Wi-Fi or mobile data.
Sound Amplifier
With Sound Amplifier, your phone can boost sound, filter background noise and fine tune to how you hear best. Whether you’re watching TV or talking in a busy room – just plug in your headphones.
