Google is setting the new search standard with voice
Baku, May 17 (AZERTAC). New notification features for Google Now and richer voice recognition in searches on mobile devices and desktops keeps Google the search to beat.
Google`s search capabilities are king, and they`re getting richer now with features including the use of more powerful voice recognition on mobile devices and desktops,
At its Google I/O conference Wednesday, company execs introduced “conversational search” capabilities. As Google implements its “hotwords,” users will no longer need to click the microphone in the search bar to start using voice recognition. All users have to do is say, “OK, Google,” and then speak commands. Google relies on natural language processing to figure out what users want to do and then serves up results.
Combine that with Google search`s ability to go beyond serving up graphs and other data in response to user questions and actually weave in additional information Google thinks users are looking for. For example, if you search for China, Google will not only show changes in population over the decades, but it will also graph the countries China`s population is often compared to — India and the United States.
This is possible as Google keeps expanding knowledge graph, which now has more than 570 million entities, such as people, places and things, said Amit Singhal, a senior vice president and Google Fellow.
The knowledge graph operates with searches in English and eight other languages. Starting today, Singhal said, it will be available in simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese, Polish and Turkish.
Google is also integrating personal data into searches in Chrome on desktops and laptops, which makes loads of sense. Flight reservations, restaurant reservations, package deliveries, and other user-generated information can be rapidly pulled up in the familiar interface of Google search results. That could put an end to going through emails of paper for this sort of information, saving users time.
