Facebook paid people to transcribe Messenger voice chats
[ad_1] The problem, according to Bloomberg‘s sources, is the lack of transparency. Contractors from TaskUs reportedly weren’t told where the audio came from or why they were transcribing it.

[ad_1] This isn’t Amazon’s first such deal. It also has partnerships with Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine and Saturday Night Live‘s Broadway Video. It might, however, be the most intriguing if you’re a fan of comic books, sci-fi or Skybound’s general ethos.

Spotify tests simplified speaker handoff feature
[ad_1] This streamlines the handoff experience, as users won’t have to open Spotify and dig through menus to change devices; a single button handles it all.

Simply the best true wireless earbuds
[ad_1] The Headphones app will also allow you to change the Adaptive Sound Control settings, turn off that DSEE HX tech and change the function of the buttons on each earbud. However, your options are super limited there. You can choose between playback controls (play/pause and skipping tracks), Ambient Sound modes (on, off, noise-canceling) and […]

iTunes isn’t dead
[ad_1] Even Apple knew it. The intro to the iTunes portion of today’s keynote was a tongue-in-cheek bit about adding Calendar, Mail and Safari inside the desktop app. “One thing we hear over and over: Can iTunes do even more?” quipped vice president of software Craig Federighi. The current version of iTunes (Nathan Ingraham/Engadget) Once […]
