When Google unveiled its voice recording app aptly called Recorder at its Pixel event last month, we were impressed by its capabilities. Unlike standard run-of-the-mill recording apps that simply make and store audio files, Google's version uses its AI smarts to perform real-time voice transcription into text, and it can locate music and specific words inside the audio file -- all without a cloud connection. Initially announced as a Pixel 4-exclusive, a Google employee has confirmed on Reddit that Recorder will be made backward-compatible with older Pixel devices. It all started with member Valendr0s voicing his frustration on Reddit that the Recorder app wasn't compatible with his Pixel 3 XL and his wife's Pixel 2 phones, stating how useful the app would be during visits to his wife's doctor. A day later, a Googler with the handle PixelCommunity responded back on Reddit, affirming Recorder's upcoming compatibility with older Pixel phones.
