I Tried Google's New On-Device AI Transcription App for iPhone, and It Was Surprisingly Accurate ...Middle East

News by : (Live Hacker) -

I decided to give the app a shot on release day, though the privacy policy gave me pause. Google says that your location, contacts, identifiers, device diagnostics, contact info, user content, usage data, and "other" data can be linked to you, while purchases and other diagnostics can be collected but not linked to you. That's a lot of data, especially for an app that advertises that "audio, confidential conversations, and personal data never leave your device," and I'm not sure I'd be keen on downloading the app otherwise. But, as the saying goes, if a service is free, you are the product. I've reached out to Google for clarification here, and will update this story if I hear back.

How to try Google's new AI transcription app

I had some trouble getting the app up and running: Every time I tried to test it, it claimed I didn't speak at all. But after pairing AirPods with my iPhone and unpairing them, the app seemed to work. To test the app, I played the intro of this Audio University YouTube video, which is entirely dialogue-based. Once the app was working, it immediately started transcribing the video, with near perfect accuracy—at least by the end. I would watch the app enter incorrect words, then retract and replace them as subsequent words provided context. Once the recording was finished, the transcript was nearly identical to the video's transcript, save for a couple quirks: It mistakenly thought "If this is our first time meeting" was "This is our first time meeting," and recorded a single sentence twice. But other than that, this is a totally usable transcript of the beginning of the video.

In my brief testing, the app does work well, and I do appreciate the option to use it on-device only. I would definitely consider using it over iOS' built-in transcriptions if it seemed quicker or more accurate, especially since there are some more robust features here—assuming that on-device really does mean keeping my data out of Google's hands.
