New designs for Project Relate and Sound Notifications

We’re committed to an ongoing partnership with the disability community to improve our accessibility features, including updates based on user feedback.

• Customize how you teach Project Relate. In 2022, we launched Project Relate, an Android app for people with non-standard speech, that allows you to create a personalized speech recognition model to communicate and be better understood. Custom Cards allow you to customize the phrases you teach the model so it understands words that are important to you. Now, there’s a new way for you to select text and import phrases from other apps as Custom Cards, like a note in a Google Doc.
• New design for Sound Notifications with feedback from you. Sound Notifications alerts you when household sounds happen — like a doorbell ringing or and a smoke alarm going off — with push notifications, flashes from your camera light, or vibrations on your phone. We’ve redesigned Sound Notifications based on user feedback, improving the onboarding process, sound event browsing, and making it easier to save custom sounds for appliances.
