More than a month ago, Google decided to give an educational touch to its Internet search engine introducing a curious result It is about the animal sounds , which transforms the search engine into a kind of children's book to learn the noises made by both farm animals and many others included by the company. A feature that can finally be enjoyed in Spain
Just perform a simple search in the Google application, either typed or . However, unlike what we would ask a small child, with the formula “how does the”¦?” , to Google it is necessary to ask “what does he do”¦?”or “sound of”¦” to get a satisfactory answer. However, not all animals are registered in this new function of the search engine.
These are new information cards in response to searches on Google In this way, a panel shows a drawing of the animal for which it is consulted next to the icon of a speaker with which to play the recorded sound. In addition, the card shows the graph of that sound next to the name of the animal, so that there is no doubt about what is being heard through the loudspeaker.
At the moment Google only picks up the sounds of 19 animals A considerable number to have a good time, although far from representing the animal world. The monkey, dog, cat, cow, duck, elephant, horse, lion, moose, owl, pig, raccoon, rooster, sheep, tiger, turkey, bowhead whale, humpback whale, wolf, and the zebra have their respective cards, ready to educate the user's ear with the different sounds they make in their natural environment. A whole variety that could blush the creators of children's books with sounds of farm animals.
Cards appear as a search result, before the usual links to which Google we are used to. Each card shows the animal that has been asked about in a large size but, just below, a carousel collects the rest of the animals that may be related or whose sounds may be of interest to user.In this way it is not necessary to do more searches to find each sound, being able to navigate through the selection of Google in a simple and direct way with a single query.
With this, any user from Spain can now consult squawks, barks, neighs and all kinds of sounds made by animals directly in the most used search engine in the world. A function that is more curiosity than useful, but that can offer entertainment for the smaller ones , who will learn the noises of animals through an Internet tool that they surely already master. Something with which Google continues to adding value to its search engine, even if it strays from the norm in terms of results in the form of links.
This function is available both through the application Google, as well as the search engine through the browser Chrome both on mobile and desktop. You can take the test and tell us what you think.
