Late in 2019, Google debuted a new app called Recorder, which uses A.I. to automatically recognize and transcribe voices with near-perfect accuracy.

Available on Google’s Pixel 4 phones only, it is able to recognize specific conversations, which means that crosstalk and background noise won’t affect the transcription technology.

Amazon’s Transcribe Medical automatically converts speech used in medical settings into text. There are lots of practical applications for automatic voice transcription: recording meeting minutes, taking lecture notes, generating transcriptions for podcasts and shows and serving medical and pharmacological teams as they work with patients.
