TL;DR
- The Search Live camera interface in the Google app could receive a few design tweaks, including the ability to minimize the camera window and move it around the page.
- Google could also introduce new bubble animations for Search Live when it’s active.
- Although the transcript button has disappeared in the redesigned interface, it’s too soon to tell whether it’s gone for good or simply relocated.
Search Live in the Google app lets you get real-time answers using voice commands or a combination of your voice and the phone’s camera. While it does its job pretty well, Search Live’s existing camera layout takes up the entire screen and can make some UI elements hard to spot. Google is now working on a design revamp to bring the focus back to the answers rather than the camera feed.
