I tried to connect various microphones to "Pixel 6 Pro" and record

Although it's still new, I got the opportunity to borrow the "Pixel 6 Pro", so I've been using it for a while. As already introduced in a lot of information and reviews, many people know that the installation of "Tensor" has enhanced the camera and voice recognition.

As a writer who has many opportunities to transcribe interviews, I find it very convenient to have a voice recorder that supports transcription in Japanese. The quality of the voice at the time of recording is poor, and even if there is noise or the sound is cracked, it will be converted into characters relatively accurately, but in order to improve the recognition accuracy, the sound quality at the time of recording was improved. There is no doubt that it is better.

Therefore, I would like to utilize an externally connected microphone, but in the case of smartphones, even if the microphone can be connected via Bluetooth or USB, there are many cases where it cannot be used because the application side does not support them. Then, when I checked the settings as to what about the Pixel 6 Pro's voice recorder app, isn't there a mechanism to automatically detect an externally connected microphone?

When I checked the settings of the voice recorder application of "Pixel 6 Pro", there was a mechanism to automatically detect the externally connected microphone.

So I decided to connect various types of microphones and try recording. First of all, I connected the wireless microphone "Smart Mike +" that can be connected via Bluetooth and tried recording, and I was able to record from the microphone without any problems.

If you start recording after connecting "Smart Mike +" via Bluetooth, it will recognize Smart Mike + properly and pick up the sound from there.

Next is a USB-connected microphone, but since there are not many microphones that can be connected to a smartphone via USB, try connecting your USB microphone for a personal computer via a USB OTG cable and see if it can be recognized. rice field. Then I recognized it without any problem and was able to record from the microphone.

Then, if I could input the audio directly from a personal computer using a USB-connected audio conversion adapter, I thought that it would be possible to transcribe previously recorded interview audio and online presentations, so I decided to actually try it. ..

There was a USB audio conversion adapter that I used on my laptop, so I connected it to the Pixel 6 Pro via a USB OTG cable and tried recording with the voice recorder app. Was completed.

Similarly, connect a USB audio conversion adapter for a personal computer via a USB OTG cable to record.It is convenient because you can directly capture the sound of a computer or voice recorder and transcribe it.

And it was "CES 2022" that this combination was very useful.

Partly due to the influence of the new corona virus, I was interviewing CES online in 2022, but since the voice recorder application of Pixel 6 Pro also supports English, Pixel from a personal computer via an audio conversion adapter Record by inputting voice to the 6 Pro voice recorder.

Then, by translating the content converted into text into Japanese with a translation application and grasping the content, even the author who is not good at English could understand the content of the lecture and proceed with the interview comfortably.

Recorded the press event and keynote speech of "CES 2022" with the above configuration.Transcription in English is more accurate than Japanese, so you can know the contents fairly accurately through the translation app.

This usage is a little special, but it is certain that the range of usage will be greatly expanded because the voice recorder application supports externally connected microphones. If you are using the Pixel 6 series, you definitely want to make good use of it.
