Apple Watch’s new feature listens to your chats and recaps them

Apple Watch 新功能可监听对话并进行总结

At its Surprise and Shine event on Wednesday, Apple launched a meeting notetaker for the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4, one of a series of new audio intelligence features that can listen to sounds through your Apple Watch. 在周三举行的“Surprise and Shine”发布会上，苹果为 Apple Watch Series 12 和 Ultra 4 推出了会议记录功能。这是苹果一系列全新音频智能功能的一部分，能够通过 Apple Watch 监听周围的声音。

The feature, called Siri Recap, uses ambient listening to take high-level notes of your conversations, according to the company. Apple Intelligence will automatically generate a title, summary, and key points from the conversation, which can then be reviewed in the Siri app. Apple said that you can choose to keep this feature always on, set up a schedule, or turn off completely. 据苹果公司介绍，这项名为“Siri Recap”的功能利用环境监听技术，对你的对话进行高层级的记录。Apple Intelligence 会自动从对话中生成标题、摘要和关键点，用户随后可在 Siri 应用中查看。苹果表示，用户可以选择始终开启该功能、设置定时开启，或将其完全关闭。

The notetaker wasn’t the only audio-focused feature introduced for the Watch during the event. Apple’s new audio intelligence features also include Shazam, which can identify songs instantly. This means Apple has finally caught up to Google’s Now Playing feature. The Watch can recognize loud sounds like sirens, alarms, doorbells, or a baby crying and notify users. 在本次发布会上，针对 Apple Watch 推出的音频功能不仅限于会议记录。苹果新的音频智能功能还包括 Shazam，它可以即时识别歌曲。这意味着苹果终于赶上了谷歌的“Now Playing”功能。此外，手表还能识别警报声、闹钟声、门铃声或婴儿啼哭声等大分贝声音，并向用户发送通知。

Apple also introduced a feature called Live Rewind, which lets users recap 15 seconds of conversation when they double-press the Digital Crown. Apple emphasized that the features don’t store recordings and that raw audio is inaccessible. The Siri Recap feature doesn’t identify speakers either. Users can access Live Rewind recaps, which are end-to-end encrypted. 苹果还推出了一项名为“Live Rewind”的功能，用户只需双击数码表冠（Digital Crown），即可回放过去 15 秒的对话内容。苹果强调，这些功能不会存储录音，且原始音频无法被访问。Siri Recap 功能也不会识别说话者身份。用户可以访问经过端到端加密的 Live Rewind 回放内容。

Despite these guardrails, an always-listening feature will likely raise privacy concerns because Siri Recap may still capture sensitive information in its summaries. Besides some of the privacy features, Siri Recap sounds similar to other notetakers like Granola and Circleback, which also have Apple Watch apps. 尽管有这些保护措施，但“始终监听”功能仍可能引发隐私担忧，因为 Siri Recap 的摘要中仍可能包含敏感信息。除了部分隐私功能外，Siri Recap 与 Granola 和 Circleback 等其他同样拥有 Apple Watch 应用的笔记工具非常相似。
