Google wants us to control applications with our voice
The company Google is preparing everything for its next event for developers. And it is that the Google I/O, which is what the event is called, will arrive loaded with talks, keynotes and other presentations The first look at Android M, the next version of the mobile operating system, has already been confirmed. And now it is also known that there will be a space dedicated to voice-controlled applicationsWill you be proposing alternatives for the drivers? Will it be an innovative project beyond touch screens?
The data has been disclosed by Google by publishing the timetable of the talks and presentations that will take place at your event. Thus, the talk en titled “Your application, now available hands-free”, in the description of which gives some clues about what could be a new way of interact with mobile. And it seems that they want to explore new paths beyond touch screens and fingers
In this description Google mentions the concept Voice Access, a service with which the user could access and, according to the same text, control an application in a basic way only using the voice Something that would go a whole step beyond the classic “OK Google, open this or that application”. Useful possibilities to manage tasks or consult any information when you do not have access to your hands, are busy or have some type of disability. Although for the moment these are just deductions, without Google having explained anything more about this method.
In this way Google would use this talk within the event to remark the points and establish the guidelines that developers should follow when using Voice Access Something that marks the importance of this method, for whichGoogle would have already been working. In fact, they affirm that it could be implemented with little or almost no development by the creators of applications Question that makes us suspect the depth of this issue, although without knowing yet what practical applications would it have, nor the public to which this functionality would be directed.
It also helps to give importance to the topic that Google has duplicated in your Google I/O event the talks about Voice Access In this way there will be two talks throughout the days of the event to discuss about it and reach as many assistant developers as possible.
With all this, the only question remains as to whether Google would be working on a new interface that would help the user to move through menus directly with the voice, or if it will be a series of extended commands beyond being able to access an application, but without being able to manage all aspects of a tool. Something that will be revealed in a short time, since Google I/O will take place during the days 28 and 29 of this month May At the moment the company has not offered more information about this new function for applications.
