Apparently the new Google phone allows ASL for searching and for translation of messages for texting etc. Seems like it could be used for practice for us who are learning.

The following is copied from Google site:

"The brand new Pixel 11 series will bring a new sign-to-text translation feature to people who communicate using American Sign Language (ASL). Developed in partnership with the Deaf community, the new feature is powered by a multilingual sign language-to-text (SL2T) translation model. It analyzes hand shapes, facial expressions, and body movements to translate ASL into written English sentences in real time.

The feature, which supports both one-handed and two-handed signing, lets signers use their native language to express themselves when using Live Transcribe or across their device with Gboard.

To use this feature on a Pixel 11 device, add sign-to-text to your Gboard toolbar, and sign in ASL to the front camera. The translations will appear on the outer display."

About a week ago, my e25 started taking 23 minutes to clean the section of the house, when for the prior 5 months it was taking 11 minutes. It's done this for the last three cleanings. No error messages, all proper maintenance performed. Did they push a software update that changed something?

Has anybody else noticed this?

According to my research, many of the newer sets support using this with specific headphones via Bluetooth.

Research is mixed as to whether or not it actually passes Atmos through. I was wondering if anybody has any experience with this and what your thoughts are.

I'm mostly interested in using it for watching movies at night and getting more than just stereo sound.
