NotebookLM Launches Audio Summary AI for Workplace Analysis and Debate Preparation

NotebookLM’s Audio Overview function has now taken on three roles.

Guide for Utilizing the Recorder Application on Pixel Smartphones

Pixel Recorder, commonly referred to as Google Recorder, offers much more than simply recording audio from your Google Pixel device.

The newest Google Pixel smartphones come equipped with the feature known as Google Recorder, which you can easily refer to as Pixel Recorder since it is a unique feature of Pixel smartphones like the latest Pixel 10.

Having been available for several years, Recorder has consistently been improved with each software and device update. There are numerous functions you can utilize now, ranging from audio recording (naturally) to voice transcription, speech editing, and even music creation.

How to record voice notes in Recorder

Recording Voice Notes is an advantageous feature for when you want to capture inspiring or brainstorming ideas for a project, document a conversation or an interview (with the other person’s consent, of course), or simply keep fun voice notes to share with loved ones.

1. Launch the Recorder app. (If this is your first time, a welcome message will appear; tap Get Started and then Allow to permit Recorder to send you notifications. If you’ve used it previously, you can jump right in).

2. Press the large red circular Record button located at the bottom of the screen to start recording. You can tap Pause or Stop at any time.

3. You can add a location to the recording or select No thanks. The recording is now saved on your device.

How to view and share a transcript of a recording in Recorder

Viewing the transcript of a recording is a simple process, helpful for lengthy interviews or conversations so you won’t have to transcribe manually.

1. Choose the recording from your list within the app.

2. Tap the three vertical lines next to the horizontal lines at the bottom, center of the screen.

3. Here, you’ll be able to view a transcript of the recording, which can differentiate between various voices as well, tagging different speakers.

4. Tap the three vertical dots at the top right of the screen, and choose Share to send the Audio or transcript file to a location like Google Docs.

How to transcribe a recording in another language

If you wish to transcribe a recording in a different language, such as a lecture or meeting you recorded and want to prepare for international clients or a family message to convert into another language for relatives abroad, this can be easily accomplished in the app. The feature processes your file using Google servers to facilitate the translation.

It’s important to mention that in the tests I conducted, the outcomes were not ideal. However, I believe the feature will enhance over time.

1. Select the recording from your list in the app.

2. Tap the three vertical lines next to the horizontal lines at the bottom, center of the screen.

3. Tap Transcribe again.

4. Browse through the available languages and select the language you want.

5. Tap Transcribe to confirm that you wish to generate a copy of the transcription in the specified language. (Note: you need to activate backup for this feature to function.)

6. The transcription process can take a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on the length. Once done, you can view the recording in the Recorder app or at recorder.google.com.

How to edit a recording in Recorder

You may want to edit a recording to eliminate pauses in the conversation, especially if you plan to share it online as part of a podcast.

1. Choose the recording from your list in the app.

2. Tap the three vertical dots at the top right of the screen and select Crop & remove.

3. Adjust the guides around the section you want to eliminate and choose Crop or Remove.

4. Tap Save copy at the top right and then Ok.

How to create music in Recorder

A recent feature rolled out with the Google Pixel 10 series allows for music creation within Recorder, utilizing generative AI. This is an excellent tool for songwriters and those who enjoy experimenting with their creativity.

Thorough Synopsis of Meta Hypernova Smart Glasses: Up-to-Date Details and Perspectives

The competition in smart glasses is becoming increasingly intense. Here’s what to anticipate next from the frontrunner in the industry.

If you believe smart glasses are impressive now, just wait for Meta to reveal its upcoming major endeavor. Meta Hypernova is a next-gen pair of smart glasses expected to be announced on September 17, 2025, during Meta Connect 2025.

Meta Hypernova has been rumored and leaked for several months and seems to strike a balance between the fully functional computer-on-your-face, Meta Orion, and the current Meta AI-enhanced smart glasses like Oakley Meta HSTN. If I were to draw a comparison, these likely resemble a smartwatch worn on your face in terms of functionality.

Additionally, they are anticipated to come with a gesture band to facilitate effortless daily interactions. A plethora of leaks and information has surfaced before the official launch, and we have compiled everything for your convenience below. Here’s everything you need to know about Meta Hypernova!

Meta Hypernova: Pricing and availability

Meta Hypernova is set to be revealed at Meta Connect on September 17, 2025. These new smart glasses are rumored to have a retail price of $799 and are expected to include an sEMG gesture bracelet. The final retail name is believed to be “Meta Celeste.”

According to leaks, the glasses are projected to be launched sometime later this fall, with Meta reportedly believing they will sell approximately 150,000 units within the first two years due to the pricing.

Meta Hypernova: Design and features

Leaked images of Meta Hypernova, shown above, exhibit a design reminiscent of Ray-Ban Wayfarer glasses. The primary distinction between them lies in the frame thickness, as Hypernova must accommodate a display in one lens alongside additional computing circuitry and a larger battery compared to Ray-Ban Meta or Oakley Meta smart glasses.

A notable feature that sets Hypernova apart from other smart glasses is the single display housed within one lens. While it is not yet clear if this can be customized, early reports indicate that the display will be positioned in the lower part of the right lens. It appears that Meta is utilizing waveguide optics for Hypernova, as the company has recently showcased this technology.

The small display in one lens will function similarly to a smartwatch display. Given its size, Meta will need to provide concise information for quick viewing. This is likely to include smartphone notifications and turn-by-turn navigation. Leaks also suggest that a compact app launcher can exhibit six icons on the screen, akin to the mockup shown in the image below.

Meta Hypernova is likely to utilize a version of the Android operating system similar to that used on Meta Orion last year. This OS resembles a lighter version of the Meta Horizon Android-based OS powering VR headsets like the Meta Quest 3. However, we anticipate that Hypernova’s OS will be even more streamlined, unlikely featuring traditional windows or comprehensive applications like those on Orion.

Rumors indicate that the glasses will come with a selection of dedicated applications, with Meta possibly expanding this app selection in the future. Pre-installed applications thought to be included on each pair of Meta Hypernova smart glasses are Meta AI, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, a camera application, and a maps application.

Unlike Meta Orion, Hypernova is not expected to provide positional tracking. Consequently, the glasses won’t be capable of overlaying virtual objects onto the real world as a Meta Quest headset currently does. However, we anticipate that future iterations of Meta glasses will possess this capability.

An upgraded version of onboard Meta AI is anticipated to launch alongside the Meta Hypernova glasses. It is believed that this enhanced AI model can utilize live AI for extended periods and offers greater interactivity with Meta AI. This means that Meta AI will assist in recalling details such as the location of your car keys or even a person’s name throughout your day.

Google previously demonstrated a comparable feature for its upcoming smart glasses, both at Google I/O 2025 and during a TED Talk weeks earlier. Meta is investing significantly in Meta AI this year, so expect these and other exciting features to debut with Meta Hypernova.

Meta Hypernova: Gesture bracelet

The primary aspect that distinguishes Android XR-powered smart glasses from Meta Hypernova will be user interaction with the glasses. The initial wave of Android XR glasses will rely on a combination of Google Gemini and swiping gestures on the side temple to navigate apps and notifications.

Meta Hypernova will incorporate Meta AI for interaction, similar to Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta smart glasses; however, users will find that utilizing hand gestures with the included sEMG bracelet will be the most effective method.

An sEMG bracelet enables more intuitive interactions with virtual interfaces simply by using your hands and accommodates a seemingly limitless array of gestures. This GIF below demonstrates some of the gestures.

Samsung’s Upcoming Step Following the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra: What Can We Expect?

After witnessing the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra, I can’t shake the feeling that we may have reached the zenith.

Being the go-to “tablet guy” in this area, I’ve encountered nearly every type of tablet that has come across my desk. There may be a few exceptions, but none can rival Samsung’s premium tablet collection.

Since the debut of the first Ultra Galaxy Tab with the Tab S8 series, I’ve regarded this line as the ultimate option available. And from what I’ve gathered from Brady’s initial thoughts, it seems that the Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra will uphold this reputation once it launches.

There’s something captivating about the nearly 15-inch display, coupled with the sleek design, S Pen, and expandable storage. The Tab S11 Ultra ticks all those boxes once again, managing to be even slimmer than its predecessor while retaining most of the same features, except for reverting to a single selfie camera.

Now, a query comes to mind that I struggle to answer: what could Samsung possibly pursue next? Some innovative ideas spring to mind, like transforming it into a foldable device akin to Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 Fold that operates on Android.

That might be the most sensible next step, as I honestly don’t believe Samsung, or any competitor, can introduce anything else that could be termed as “ground-breaking.” At least not while maintaining the “traditional” slate of glass or aluminum. The Tab S11 Ultra is just 5.1mm thin, which is 0.3mm less than last year’s variant, and now competes with the 13-inch M4 iPad Pro.

It’s a peculiar sensation to realize that when it comes to the utmost pinnacle of excellence, we may have hit the limit. If Samsung retains the Ultra line, I assume we’ll see mostly minimal design updates (if any), along with a specifications upgrade and potential changes in Android.

Where else could Samsung enhance?

So if this is “it” for the design, what’s next?

I appreciate you asking! For one, I would absolutely love to see Samsung stop restricting RAM options for the 1TB variant. With the Tab S11 Ultra, you have 12GB of RAM and either 256GB or 512GB of storage. The only avenue to secure 16GB of RAM is by opting for 1TB of storage, and vice versa, which is just infuriating.

I comprehend the need for profit margins and such, but really. Settle on one RAM configuration and keep everyone satisfied. It might not irritate me as much if this were a unique occurrence, but it’s not. Samsung employs the same approach with the Galaxy Z Fold 7, where the only path to the maximum RAM is through the highest storage capacity.

Aside from that little annoyance, the sole other hardware change I’d like to see is a cellular option in the United States. Just like in previous years, the only way to obtain the Tab S Ultra with cellular capability is to import a model launched in another country. Samsung isn’t even providing a cellular Galaxy Tab S11 variant, leaving the Tab S10 Plus to fulfill the connected option, which is a peculiar decision.

There’s one more thing that I’d genuinely LOVE to see Samsung implement, and it doesn’t even need to wait for the Tab S12: adopt the iPad Pro keyboard design. If I’m working at a desk or table at a café, the Smart Cover Keyboard works decently.

However, the moment I want to lounge on the couch and utilize the tablet as a laptop with the keyboard, it becomes a balancing act. The idea of a detachable back cover that functions as a stand is appealing, but the keyboard part itself is quite subpar. It’s so flimsy that I inadvertently click the trackpad if I apply too much pressure on one side.

None of these issues exist with the iPad Pro keyboard, and it’s frustrating that Samsung hasn’t made much of an effort to alter the design. And no, introducing a dedicated AI key doesn’t count, nor does providing the Book Cover Keyboard Slim, which lacks a trackpad.

I mean, Samsung charges as much as some Chromebooks just for the Book Cover Keyboard ($350). Is it too much to expect a keyboard case that transforms a laptop-sized tablet into an Android laptop?

Additionally, I should note that there isn’t even a new Book Cover Keyboard debuting with the Tab S11 Ultra, only the Slim version has been announced. What I’m hoping is that Samsung has been working on a redesign that addresses my concerns effectively, and it simply wasn’t ready in time.

Then again, perhaps that’s just optimistic thinking.

Seize the moment while conditions are favorable.

Even though we weren’t anticipating

How the Garmin Fenix 8 Pro Could Transform Outdoor Fitness Watches in the Face of Challenges

Garmin’s InReach system for LTE and satellite access shouldn’t be limited to a $1,200 watch, yet a significant challenge exists in integrating it into lower-priced watches.

The Garmin Fenix 8 Pro builds upon the Fenix 8 framework, introducing cellular and satellite messaging for an additional $100 (plus a monthly subscription). This aligns with the pricing of competing brands. Now, I hope Garmin will extend this Pro feature to a broader array of watches, but I’m unsure if it can succeed.

I recognize Garmin’s decision to kick off with the Fenix 8 Pro. Dedicated followers can be the first to access InReach cellular calls, satellite messaging, and emergency SOS, all while retaining the premium Fenix benefits they’re accustomed to. Plus, the impressive battery life of the Fenix 8 ensures it can manage the increased battery drain from LTE usage.

The primary issue is that the Fenix 8 Pro is priced at $1,200 or higher. Garmin fans anticipate high price tags, but this exceeds the budget many are willing to allocate. Although the Fenix 8 is outstanding, not everyone desires a bulky, titanium version when lighter alternatives like the Forerunner, longer-lasting Enduro, or elegant Venu are available.

I would like to see Garmin introduce “Pro” editions of its most sought-after models. Currently, it offers various “Music” versions that provide Wi-Fi and music storage (but no additional features) for $50. A $100 “Pro” upgrade with LTE and satellite could follow this same model, enhancing safety features across the range.

My concern, however, is that LTE and satellite capabilities might remain another appealing Garmin feature limited to the highest-end models and largest watches.

Why I desire more ‘Garmin X Pro’ watches

The Garmin Fenix 8 Pro provides cellular and satellite capabilities for an additional $100 compared to the standard Fenix 8. With LTE, users can call and text contacts via the Garmin Messenger app or share their real-time GPS location using LiveTrack, allowing loved ones to know your last-known position during emergencies.

For satellite messaging, you must locate a clear spot to link with a Skylo satellite for no less than 30 seconds, after which the Pro will deliver your text messages (or SOS) and receive any pending messages.

Garmin’s approach has its flaws, as friends and family must download Garmin Messenger to receive your messages; otherwise, they’ll come from an unfamiliar Garmin number. Yet, given that half of its users are iPhone owners, Garmin would have required a workaround regardless. It is certainly preferable to the alternative of having no option at all!

The key point is that any Garmin watch will, by default, last for several days (if not weeks) longer than an Apple, Galaxy, or Pixel Watch with LTE features. None of these alternatives offers a LiveTrack equivalent, and only the Pixel Watch 4 includes satellite SOS via the same Skylo network (without casual satellite messaging).

Enthusiastic outdoors enthusiasts who often hike in remote areas would much prefer to depend on a watch that can last for weeks rather than hours in critical situations. You require GPS durability and reassurance more than you need apps or Gemini/Siri functionalities while on the trail.

The forthcoming Venu 4 appears ideally positioned to contend with mainstream watches due to its chic design, appealing to women who wish to run late or trek in secluded locations but have safety concerns. Why not launch a Venu 4 Pro?

Furthermore, an Enduro 3 Pro or Instinct 3 Pro equipped with solar charging would enable you to recover the battery consumed for every LTE call or satellite message. Additionally, anyone who purchased the Forerunner 945 LTE for cellular safety features would likely desire a modern Forerunner Pro that offers more advanced functionalities.

Why we may not see many Garmin LTE watches

Garmin faces a clear logistical obstacle: it markets numerous watches, so which models warrant a cellular enhancement? It will likely begin with higher-end options like the Tactix 8 for military personnel or Quatix 8 for mariners, for whom connectivity is crucial. However, I hope to see more affordable models like the Forerunners, Instincts, and Venu follow suit.

Here’s the challenge: observe how physically large the Fenix 8 Pro is. Both the 47mm and 51mm Pro versions are about 2mm thicker than their Fenix 8 counterparts. Measuring 16mm and 16.5mm, they are bulkier than almost every fitness watch available.

Garmin informed DC Rainmaker that “due to hardware limitations with integrating the LTE antenna,” it was not feasible to create a 43mm Fenix 8 Pro model. Engineering difficulties meant that making the cellular and satellite antennas sufficiently compact was “not possible.” They affirmed that they were not “avoiding” the development of smaller, LTE-enabled watches as a long-term strategy, however.

The 1.3-inch, 13.8mm Fenix 8 43mm isn’t what I’d describe as a
