Voice search Chrome: everything for user comfort

The computer has long been an indispensable assistantfor many, however, not everyone can quickly type the right text on the keyboard. Imagine how much the speed of working for a PC would increase if any text in a browser or text application could be dictated via a microphone using its own voice. In this regard, it is especially gratifying to see the successes that the corporation Google has achieved in this field.

After the new, 27th version was releasedthe most popular browser of this company, on its main page there was a microphone icon. From this moment, the voice search Chrome became a reality for all our compatriots, as the developers have taught him to understand the requests in Russian.

Previously, since September 2010, such an opportunitywas available only for English-speaking owners of iOS-smartphones and devices running Android. At the same time, this function was rather limited and worked only with keywords. Now you can use spoken language and pronounce whole phrases. Thus, finding the right information now has become much more convenient and easier.

How to enable Google's voice search

If before this time you are still usingstandard Internet Explorer, it's time to enjoy the simplicity, speed and convenience of Chrom. Before downloading this application, make sure that its version is at least 27, and if it turns out that an older version is on the PC, you can simply update it to the latest version. For older versions of support, this function is not and is not planned, and in the future it will be further developed.

Users who prefer the operating systemMac or Linux, can also experience the benefits of a new browser if desired. A sign that everything went well and voice search Chrome is installed is the microphone icon on the right side of the search bar. This is the so-called "voce serch". To activate this function, you need to give permission in the appeared window to the site to use the microphone, click on the icon and say the keywords.

Is it safe?

Those who care about confidentialitywe rush to immediately dispel all fears. Permission to use voice search Chrome will only remember for sites that have been opened through a secure protocol (in the address bar they have a prefix HTTPS). In order for the page of the search engine to always break away in safe mode, the user needs to simply log into the personal Google-account. By the way, this is also very useful thing with a lot of convenient functions, such as mail, calendar, network drive, maps, etc.

Further perspectives

The developers promise that the voice search forGoogle Chrome will be constantly improved. In particular, they promise that in 2013 the need to use the microphone icon will disappear - the activation of the function will occur through the command "Okay Google". Also, more complete support for the functional of the Russian language is expected - at the moment, Google Chrome's voice search for Google Maps is not yet available to our compatriots. And, of course, let's hope that the quality of speech recognition, which differs from that of the English and Americans, will constantly improve.
