The Recorder app on Pixel is designed to make it easy to capture and reuse important audio moments, from a guitar riff to a class lecture.

• Record and transcribe: You can record audio and get an automatic transcript (English only), so you don’t have to take notes manually.
• Search your recordings: Because Recorder creates transcripts, you can quickly search within your recordings to find specific words or topics.
• Share with a link: You can now share a link to your Recorder audio files so anyone can listen, even if they don’t have a Pixel. When they open the link at recorder.google.com, they can hear the recording, see the transcript, and search within the file — all in one place.
• Access from any device: Recordings can be backed up to your Google Account, helping keep them safe and making them easy to access from any device where you’re signed in.

Yes, you can use your Pixel camera underwater when you pair it with compatible diving gear.

• Diving housing required: Pixel integrates with the Kraken Sports Universal Smart Phone Housing, a case designed for scuba diving. This lets you bring your Pixel underwater without relying on bulky traditional underwater cameras.
• Use familiar camera features: Underwater, you can still access many of the camera tools you use on land directly through the Pixel Camera app, including:
  • Night Sight
  • Portrait Mode
  • Motion Photos
  • Video
  This helps you capture marine life and seascapes with the same style and quality you’re used to above water.
• Real-world use: The integration grew out of a Pixel camera engineer’s own scuba diving experience in the Philippines, and has been used to capture images like those taken on a Pixel 5 with the KRH03 Kraken Sports Universal Smart Phone Housing.
