Google working on a new app to help people with speech impairments

Google is working on an Android app called Relate to help people suffering from speech impairments. The app aims to help people with speech impairments communicate more easily with others and interact with Google Assistant.
As per the company, the app is made possible by over a million speech samples recorded by participants of the company’s research effort. The app is still under development and is not available to download as of now. The company is currently looking for English-speaking testers in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States to try out the app and provide feedback.
As an early tester of Project Relate, people will be asked to record a set of phrases. The app will use these phrases to automatically learn how to better understand unique speech patterns, and give access to the app’s three main features: Listen, Repeat and Assistant.
