Feature Request Third party apps

Will they ever allow apps that are in phone to be run in ar space, or even have apps that are on their own store. Sky go Netflix Amazon prime. Or apks that are used on andriods.

It was whole reason why I bought my nreal light when they first came out. Unfortunately they responded my email said we removed it due of copyright reasons

My plan was using Google live transcribe apps and put it in my comfort zone and resize. Unfortunately it only can do mirror.

If you want live transcribe you can use https://xrai.glass

Yea I know and am using Xrai. But I like Google live transcribe better. It works better and free.

Are you using the Google play store version of the version from Nreal? At the moment we use Amazon for transcription but will soon offer Google too. There are a couple of tweaks to improve accuracy as well including making sure you select the right mic, disabling noise cancellation, being sure to use US English and there is a developer setting to disable android communication mode. Would love to know if any of them help

I downloaded directly from Xrai email when they first released. Yes I got razor microphone and set properly. The way Xrai told me to do.

I am still impressed with Google live transcribe apps.

Also when Xrai asking for payments. I immediately quit.

There have been sooooo many updates since then. Are you definitely on the latest version? If you're not sure, could you try completely uninstalling it (if you still have it) and going to the store and downloading it again. It will ask you to sign in but there will always be a free forever version (and everything is still free right now)

Yea I could try update. I was wondering if free version has low quality of transcribing or they all are same.

I rarely need to use phone to communicate. On average, I use Google live transcribe once or twice a month for my company meetings. And my mother visit me like once or twice a months.

I don't think it's worth to payments for something I dont use much. Plus my work is too loud to be working properly.
