In May 2019, Google made an announcement about their live captions feature, which was then released exclusively for the recently released Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL. The tech giant is now making this feature available to 2018’s Pixel 3 and 2019’s Pixel 3A.
Google Live Captions is a feature, which provides captions to users for audio and videos that are played on the smartphone. This processing is done by the device itself, which is why it works offline too. There is no cloud processing, all conversions to captions from audio is done by the device itself, hence maintaining your privacy.
In a blog post about the Live Captions feature, Brian Kemler, Product Manager, Android Accessibility said, “Live Caption wouldn’t have been possible without the Deaf and hard of hearing communities who helped guide us from the very beginning. we developed Live Caption in collaboration with individuals from the community and partners like Gallaudet University, the world’s premier university for Deaf and hard of hearing people.”
The feature is great for people who are deaf or possess issues relating to hearing. It is also useful for people who want to watch content in a crowded place without turning their devices to a high volume. This feature currently supports the English language and might soon be developed for other languages and devices.
To turn on live captions on the device, users will have to select a prompt which pops up once they press the volume button. Users just need to tap the prompt and drag the text around the screen to position it to the user’s comfort. The technology does not promise 100% accuracy but is definitely a big step to make lives easier. Google meanwhile, promises to keep working on the technology to improve its performance.
YouTube has had the automatic captions feature for more than a decade, but that kinda technology was not available across the internet and other applications. This feature will help users get access to information that would otherwise be difficult to comprehend because of circumstances. Google says they are working with other major manufacturers to make this technology available to the rest of the world.

If the user has linked their Facebook account to their Instagram account then their birthdate will automatically be added to their account according to the one mentioned on the Facebook profile.
Instagram said, “This is not public information and only you will be able to see it when viewing your own account information on Instagram. Editing your date of birth on Facebook will also change it on Instagram. If you don’t have a Facebook account or if you have not connected your accounts, you can add or edit your birthday directly on Instagram.”

All you need to do is first select the photo or video you want to share then tap on the share button and select the contact within the share menu, and send the photo to that contact. The photos will also be shared without any loss in image quality from the photos you backed up.
“This gives you one place to find the moments you’ve shared with your friends and family and keep the conversation going. For me, this means I can show my mom and dad how my pumpkin pie turned out in just a few taps,” shared Janvi Shah, Product Manager, Google Photos.
The users can now also like photos or comments in the conversations that can be later on saved to the gallery. Chatting while sharing the photos or videos within the app will also improve sharing your everyday moments through Google Photos with your family and friends.

Qualcomm has announced two new processors, the Snapdragon 865 and the Snapdragon 765 at the Snapdragon Tech Summit in Hawaii. These chips look at providing major importance to 5G connectivity. The Snapdragon 865 promises user’s performance outdoing the previous Snapdragon 855 plus and SD 855. Mobile gamers deserve a mention as they have a lot to look forward to from upcoming smartphones, which may use this chipset.
The Snapdragon 865 brings AI processing, support for 200MP cameras, better gaming performance and support for displays of 144 Hz or more. The chip will have support for 5G through the X55 5G modem.
Xiaomi has already confirmed its first 2020 flagship phone uses this chipset. At the Snapdragon Tech Summit, Xiaomi announced on stage that they are launching their flagship Mi 10 early 2020 and that the upcoming device uses the Snapdragon 865. The Mi10 will be one of the first phones globally to feature this next-gen chipset. According to speculations, Xiaomi will not be the only phone running this processor and other companies too might run this in their flagship models.
Samsung can possibly be the forerunner to globally release devices powered by the Snapdragon 865 series, if the upcoming Galaxy S11 series runs on this processor. The Galaxy S11 is rumoured to be made using this Qualcomm chip in North American markets whilst Asian markets use the Exynos chip.
Motorola confirmed that they will launch a 5G phone in 2020 and claims it will be the fastest Android phone. Motorola might also use the Snapdragon 765 chip for some of its budget phones and bring it to India. Oppo also announced a flagship device, which may use the Snapdragon 865 chipset in early 2020, however its roadmap has not been revealed yet.
Nokia’s chief product officer, Juho Sarvikas confirmed that they are using the Snapdragon 765 chipset in one of their upcoming phones next year. OnePlus too can possibly come out with the OnePlus 8 series phones which are expected to use the Snapdragon 865 series processor.
Because the chip needs a 5G modem, OnePlus, Realme and Xiaomi could get 5G connectivity to India even though the country is not 5G ready. Successors to these flagship phones will most probably use the Snapdragon 865 chipset. This could be the same case scenario we saw with 4G, the smartphones with 4G chip came first and then the technology followed into India.

This possibly means that the new Nokia phone will have dual-mode 5G support. Details of this phone might go official at the company’s event on December 5 in Cairo. However, we are still doubtful of the smartphone as one of the biggest mobile markets in the world, India, is still on 4G band and 3G in some sectors and upgrading to 5G is not happening anytime soon. So, the phones by Nokia might come to India with limited power.

Back in 2010, Iron Man 2 introduced us to the secret assassin, Natasha Romanoff. She made herself dear to the fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe by helping find the Avengers and by taking down intergalactic threats until she sacrificed herself for the sake of the universe in Endgame. However, after many years as a secondary character, Natasha will soon get a movie of her own, in the upcoming Black Widow, whose trailer was released by Marvel today.
This trailer is the first official look at the infamous Black Widow’s solo adventures. From the video we understand that the timeline of the film is set after the ending of Captain America: Civil War where we see the Black Widow confront her past.
We hear the Black Widow talk in a voice-over where she says “I used to have nothing, and then I got this job, this family. But nothing lasts forever.”
The trailer shows flashes of Natasha’s early training days, in the red room and in the KGB program. We see her struggling to put her past as an Assassin while working with the Avengers, but some unknown factor forces her to dive deep into her old world, reuniting us with unforgettable characters like Yelena.
We then hear Natasha’s voice talk of unfinished business and the necessity to go back to where it all started. This unfinished business involves Natasha teaming up with Malena and Alexei or the Red Guardian. Armed with unlikely allies, Natasha will need all the help she can get to defeat the film’s supervillain, the Taskmaster. The identity of the taskmaster, however, is not revealed yet, but comic fans will remember him as a formidable enemy, a mercenary who can instantly copy and absorb his opponent’s strengths and skills.
Along with releasing the trailer, Marvel also released a teaser poster on their twitter page of the Black Widow movie. The film was teased over this summer in San Diego’s Comic-Con, where attendees witnessed footage that showed a new side of the much loved Black Widow.
In a conversation with the press there, Johansson said, that Natasha is at a dark place where she’s got no one and nowhere to go and that she was grappling with her own self. She compared the character to a person who sees something huge exploding and stands still when all the pieces are landing, where the person does not actually know what to do next and that’s the moment that she’s in, one where you have to face yourself.

Xiaomi’s Redmi K30 has been in the news for quite a while now. We know that the smartphone is another affordable phone promising 5G connectivity. The device has been in the news because of its dual punch-hole front camera in the display and now Redmi is teasing customers with a picture of the rear panel. Xiaomi’s sub-branch has shown a Redmi K30 with a coin slot style camera panel at the back. On a closer look, we see four vertically aligned cameras housed inside a circle.
If the Redmi K30 is anything like the Redmi K20 series, we speculate that the quad-camera setup will be of normal, telephoto and ultra-wide cameras with a macro or depth-sensing camera. We believe that there will be a minimum of two phones in this series, so it’s completely possible that this kind of quad-camera setup is only for one model and the other device(s) will have a different setup.
The brand recently posted pictures of the front panel of a Redmi K30 phone. A different post talks about the K30 series’s 5G details as well. The Redmi K30 is all set to launch later in December 2019, however word of its launch outside China is still a question mark. It might come as a POCO device in India.
Talking about the possible specifications of this phone, the Redmi K30 will have 5G support and dual punch hole camera display. It is possible that the phone will use Mediatek’s dual-mode 5G supporting processor. Rumours also say that the Redmi K30 will come with Mediatek’s 5G commercial smart chip.
The probable specification of the Redmi K30 cameras is that they will be 64MP, 8MP, 5MP and 2MP. It is also possible that the Redmi K30 will have a new better screen refresh rate.
As per the company, the Redmi K30 will be unveiled in China on December 10. After which it will go to other parts of the world.
