Here’s what it’s like to use Audio Intelligence on the Apple Watch
It's impossible to paint a full picture of what Audio Intelligence on the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 will be right now. The watchOS 27.3 developer beta just dropped earlier this afternoon, and these features are meant to be lived with in day-to-day life. We're definitely going to do that over the next […]
Audio Intelligence is a new feature on the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4, which will be available with the watchOS 27.3 developer beta. The two new features are Live Rewind and Siri Recap. Live Rewind allows users to see a transcript of the last 15 seconds, while Siri Recap provides high-level summaries of conversations. These features are not turned on by default and require the latest hardware, compatible iOS version, and active user permission.
Users can opt-in via their iPhone's Watch app, and there are numerous customization options for when Siri Recap is active. Privacy-wise, Apple provides clear documentation on their approach to these features. However, the ethical use of this feature should involve informing bystanders beforehand. Live Rewind has worked as described, but it takes some getting used to the double press timing.
Siri Recap's accuracy varies, and further testing is needed to understand its full capabilities. The Bee Frontier, another AI-powered device, offers more advanced features, such as insights about emotional tone and Amazon suggestions based on conversations. Overall, Audio Intelligence aims to provide factual notes to jog the user's memory, with no commerce angle.
