Google's latest smartphone, the Pixel 4, has an AI-enhanced recording and transcribing app that stores recordings on the phone itself, rather than on a server, saving battery life and protecting user privacy

Recorder is meant for recording meetings, music, lectures, and such. It can recognize and transcribe in real time what you're saying and identify other types of noise like music and applause. The recordings can be searched for specific words. For example, you can search for"rainbow" and receive results that show where that word was uttered in each recording.

Lin said the reasons for keeping all of Recorder's operations on the handset are twofold: to help protect the user's privacy by keeping the audio and related text on the phone, and to allow speech to be translated into text more quickly than if it first had to take a trip to and from a remote server. Making the app usable on a phone was tricky, however, in part because it relies on multiple pieces of AI that can run down the handset's battery and bog down its main processor.

What does it do with the sound it uses to transcribe into text format? If i turn on my wifi later, what happens to the sound the mini robot used ? Either way, at least i'll have a copy and how accurate is the transcription ?

Forget Google's new Pixel 4 — here are 8 reasons you should actually buy the $500 Pixel 3 insteadAll the focus is going to Google's Pixel 4 that has crazy tech like radar, but at $500, the Pixel 3 is pretty tempting and not that much different. There's a completely wrong caption/photo in the article. 'If you're looking for a new design, you're not really getting it with the Pixel 4. In fact, it looks very similar to the Pixel 2!' That's not a Pixel 2 on the right - looks like 4 XL on the left and 4 on the right.
