Google makes its voice search smarter
In Google they are increasingly aware of the importance of voice searches And it is that they are the first to know what and how users search through the Internet A process that is increasingly more convenient and personal thanks to the innovations that are integrated into their search engines and applications The latest innovation lies in making this tool by more intelligent voice, being able to capture what the user is referring to without having to mention it.Or linking some queries with others in a natural way, as if it were a conversation. Something that will greatly facilitate searches both for users less knowledgeable about technology and for those who use other Google services constantly.
News come with the update of the Google application, formerly known as Google Search And it is because it contains the assistant Google Now that is capable of carrying out different procedures and displaying information of interest to the user. Thus, it is now possible to directly ask “OK, Google. Where can I have dinner near my hotel?”, as long as there is a reservation in the Gmail tray. Google recognizes the name and location of the hotel through the reservation email, and performs a search for restaurants nearby in the areaBut the thing doesn't end there.
By linking to the previous search, the user can ask “OK Google, make a reservation there at 10 pm for five people” At that moment Google understands the determiner “there” for the restaurant that has finally been consulted, being able to make the reservation automatically, filling in almost all the details so that the user only has to confirm it. Of course, for this it is necessary that said place be subscribed to the service OpenTable managed by Google to make reservations through the Internet.
In addition, it is also possible to carry out new searches once the user arrives at the restaurant. And it is that Google knows the user's movements and their different locations. Thus, it is possible to ask about other places or destinations “near here”, knowing that Google will perfectly understand the phrase, understanding the place where the user is and performing the relevant search.
With all this, Google offers a service of voice searchmuch more natural, almost as if it were a conversation with another person. All this avoiding making the user think how this search engine works and what kind of phrases it needs to formulate for the search to be correct. Issues that extend beyond queries on the web, being able to use these references, pronouns and demonstratives when create notes, check the status of traffic, see if there are other alternative flights if ours has been delayed and a long list of other possibilities. A tool that becomes more interesting and looks towards the Android Wear platform seen on smart watchesA place where voice commands are the most comfortable way to scroll through the different options.
