Call screen

How do I Change the incoming call screen message. Thanks

Which message are you referring to? Are you talking about what the person calling hears when you have Call Screen turned on? I'm not sure you can change that.

Yes, that is the one. I think your right. Maybe someday there will be a update to fix it. I wanted to make the call screen message to be like my regular voice message. Thanks again for the help.

If you open your Phone app, then tap Menu>Settings>Spam and Call Screen>Call Screen>Voice, you should be able to choose between two different voices (which sound pretty similar to my ear).

Thanks. My hearing problem is so severe, I can't intelligently carry on a conversation. My wife is in the hospital and when a call passes the screening, I want to advise them if the call is very important, they should send me a text message. When she gets home, I want to change back to the original screen message. So I agree with you that the screening message should be editable.

Sharing the information below in the event it may help. I have not tested the features as I can get by so far without them.

In the Phone app "Settings\Quick Responses", the available responses can be edited by pressing on a response. So maybe a response could be edited for the message you want to send. This might work if the person calling is using a mobile phone that can receive a text.

Also in the Phone app "Settings\Accessibility\TTY mode" there are options to turn on various TTY modes. This link has more information about using real-time text with calls https://support.google.com/accessibility/android/answer/9042284?hl=en

In the Phone app "Sounds & vibration\Live Caption" appears to have the ability to capture speech to text during a call. This link has more information https://support.google.com/accessibility/android/answer/9350862

Live Transcribe may be a helpful feature in general beyond voice calls https://support.google.com/accessibility/android/answer/9158064

Beyond the Pixel phone app features, if hospital privacy policy allows, someone could text you. Similarly if the hospital uses an online secure health records system, then they could leave a message. For one of my health care providers, they use an app. After I setup an account I can communicate with the nurse and doctor, and get notified by email that a message is available. While the app is not real-time, if your hospital uses an app or an online system, then it might be another option for the hospital to provide updates.

The hospital may also have an accessibility team or staff who can communicate in the method that works best for you, and perhaps has other options beyond what is suggested above.

Your response to this issue is impressive. There are many options to check out. I'll check them out when I get more time. Maybe she'll home soon so I won't need to change it. Thanks.

I hope your wife gets well soon.

Me too.
