The search operator unveiled its newest phone on Tuesday, which will cost $799, or around P41,000. It has a new version of Google’s voice recognition software that is designed to work even without Internet connection.

The Recorder uses speech recognition and AI to transcribe lectures, meetings, and interviews.

“This means you can transcribe meetings, lectures, interviews, or anything you want to save. It’s pretty accurate,” said Sabrina Ellis, Vice President of Google’s Product Management.

Currently, the app only works in English but Google says services for more languages will be coming in the future.
