Google debuts new Android apps for the hard of hearing

Over the past few years, Google has created multiple applications with accessibility in mind. Yet, most of these apps have focused on users who have physical or visual impairments. Examples include last year's Voice Access and Lookout apps. Now, the company wants to provide better support for users who are deaf or hard of hearing as well. As part of this effort, Google is rolling out two new apps -- Live Transcribe and Sound Amplifier -- starting today.
