- What it is
- Google's announcement of Project Relate, an Android app for people with non-standard speech that transcribes speech, repeats it in a synthesized voice and passes commands to Google Assistant. It invited testers to record phrases so the app learns the user's speech.
- How much weight it carries
- A company announcement of a beta test, so it describes intent and design rather than measured accuracy. The post does not state the current availability of the app, which should be checked before any recommendation.
