Google announces speech-impaired communication project

Google has unveiled Project Relate, an Android app aimed at enabling people with speech disabilities to communicate with others and interact with the Google Assistant.

If you have difficulty speaking due to stroke, ALC, Parkinson’s disease, etc., it will be difficult to use voice recognition like Google Assistant and conversations with others. This is because speech recognition uses a standard speech model.

Since 2018, Google has been collaborating with people with speech impairments to collect more than 1 million audio samples. Based on this, Project Relate speaks and records a series of phrases to learn user-specific voice patterns and enable voice recognition.

There are three things a project-related app can do. There is a function that converts the user’s speech in real time and pastes it into another app, plays a conversation recognized as a voice in text, and an assistant that can guide you directly to Google Assistant within the app.

Project Relate is currently looking for English-speaking testers in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States and will contact applicants in the coming months. Related information can be found here.

Through the monthly AHC PC and HowPC magazine era, he has watched 'technology age' in online IT media such as ZDNet, electronic newspaper Internet manager, editor of Consumer Journal Ivers, TechHolic publisher, and editor of Venture Square. I am curious about this market that is still full of vitality.
