Google Live Transcribe is an accessibility app/feature that is intended to provide relief to people who are deaf or hard of hearing. The app is excellent at eliminating environmental distractions and converts speech and sound into text on your screen.

Google Live Transcribe not only gives you a head start in everyday conversations via speech-to-text, but it also gives you a potentially life-saving option in the form of “Sound Notifications.” It lets you know about alerts in your home, such as smoke alarms or crying baby. By properly configuring the two parts of the app, you can have complete peace of mind, both inside and outside your home.
