Google offers a great technology that can convert spoken words into written text and vice versa. This feature is very useful for various purposes. For example, you can utilize it with Google Maps to conduct voice searches or with the Recorder App to transcribe audio recordings. Additionally, it can be used in real-time with the Phone App Call Screen, allowing you to read what callers are saying as they speak. Moreover, there are various accessibility and language learning applications that make use of this technology. To enable this feature on your Android device, simply navigate to Settings > Apps & notifications > Default apps > Assist App and select Speech Services by Google as your preferred voice input tool.

In addition to transcribing speech into text, Google also offers a feature called Text-to-Speech. This allows apps to audibly read the text displayed on your screen. For instance, Google Play Books can read your favorite books aloud to you. Additionally, Google Translate can pronounce translations so you can hear how words are pronounced. This function is utilized by Talkback and other accessibility apps to offer verbal feedback. To enable Google Text-to-Speech on your Android device, simply navigate to Settings > Languages & Input > Text-to-Speech output and select Speech Services by Google as your preferred engine.

It's worth mentioning that Google's Speech Services typically come pre-installed on many Android devices. However, you have the option to update to the latest version if desired. These fantastic speech technologies from Google can greatly enhance your device's capabilities, making it much more convenient and user-friendly when using apps and other features.
