Voice search
Although at first Google did not bet a penny on voice assistants as Siri, it seems she has no choice but to create of her own to stand up to Apple Thus, a rather interesting fight is raisedwith the arrival of the new versions of both operating systems. Both iOS 6 because it will bring with it Siri finally in Spanish, as Android 4.1 or Jelly Bean because it will have the assistant of Googlewhich we will comment on now.
Google Voice Search, or Google Voice Search , is the name that has been given for now to this assistant And it is about the evolution of the current search engine Google, which already allows dictation of terms to be found on Internet , although without any type of interaction Something that will change in Jelly Bean, since the language to use with this wizard is quite more humane, allowing the user to ask questions to find related answers Question that already does very well Siri, although only in English
When we can use the Google assistant, it will only be necessary to press the button with the icon of the microphone in the search bar and ask our question. All this through a screen with a careful visual aspect and some attractive animations at the time of to pick up our voice, to process it and understand what we asked for showing a kind of Morse code and finally displaying the result on the same screen, without having to access the Internet
For now, Google Voice Search is only available in trial version through the developer version distributed by those of Mountain View But this hasn't stopped many users from trying and experimenting with almost all sorts of tests to learn the details of this wizard.A good example is the following video of a YouTube user, who subjects this assistant to 40 commands and queriesto find out how it works and if it is reliable or not in its searches.
It seems that the result achieved by Google so far is quite promisingThus, even in trial version, Voice Search already allows receiving direct orders to open applications, or transform an everyday phrase into a alarm alarm clock And not only that. Keep checking the Internet data such as the result of a match, the weather forecast and is even capable of solving mathematical operations in several seconds, clearly showing all the results on screen.
In addition, this assistant has a slightly less voice than the Siri assistantHowever, as negative point, we must speak of a lower level of interaction than with the assistant of Apple First of all because not all commands can be completed by voice, needing to confirm some options by pressing on the screen And second, because it is not possible, at least for now, have a conversation , just do queries and searches However, your design and refinement , months before launch, looks promising, putting up a tough fight against Apple's Siri and Samsung's S Voice
