If you're too lazy to type, Google's speech-to-text recognition has added another 21 languages today. The latest voice search will be available on Android and iOS as well.
"Using your voice to dictate a message can be up to three times faster than typing".
"Globally, we now support voice search for 119 languages". Like the same, Google announced on this Monday about the launch of new voice inputs to the Google App and also on Gboard on Android. On Gboard, users can choose the language in the Settings after installing the app on their phone.
Lately, Google has been ramping support for Indian languages across its various products like Maps and Search.
Google says it worked with native language speakers in order to collect the speech samples. Native speakers of these languages will now be able to give voice queries in these, instead of just English or Hindi. And now in the U.S.in English, you can use use voice dictation to express yourself with emoji. Google is used machine learning models when it added these 30 language varieties, which means accuracy will improve the more they are being used. This growth will be driven by increasing affordability of devices and data charges as well as the availability of more local content, the report noted. Google's working on expanding this feature to more languages in the near future. The search giant has added Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, and Urdu to this list. "These will soon be extended to other Google apps and products, including the Translate app", the company said.
