Pixel Buds are not only being made in more colors in the US but they are also bagging several new features to make them even better. The first feature drop (quarterly ritual for Pixel phones) for Pixel Buds is here and it brings new capabilities, including bass boost, transcribe mode for translations, and experimental attention alerts.
Another cool feature that Pixel Buds pick up with this update is dubbed ‘Transcribe Mode’. It allows you to read transcribed text on your phone at the same time that it’s being translated from one language to another via the Pixel Buds. It will be available for French, German, Italian, and Spanish speakers to translate English audio, to start with. The blog post mentions that transcription works best in a quiet environment when one person is speaking at a time.
