Previously, Google’s Live Caption feature could convert incoming phone call audio to text, but it is now being modified to operate in reverse, allowing you to input text and have Google’s software read it aloud during the call. The business posted a short GIF demonstrating how the feature can be accessed via the volume button menu and used to enter messages in full or choose from pre-written responses. Direct My Call and Wait Times, which were formerly unique to the Pixel 6, are now available on all Pixel phones dating all the way back to the Pixel 3A.
