Chrome Beta Integrates The “OK Google” Voice Command for Hands-free Searching
The latest Chrome Beta integrates the “OK Google” voice command for hands-free searching.
Forget the typing, clicking, and hard-washing. Simply open a new tab or visit Google.com in Chrome, say ‘OK Google,’ and then start speaking your search.
You will be able to perform searches by asking “OK Google, how many ounces are in a cup?” or set an alarm with the command “OK Google, set a timer for 30 minutes.”
“If you’ve ever tried to cook and search at the same time—say, when your hands are covered in flour and you need to know how many ounces are in a cup—you know it can be tricky,” software engineer Ji Adam Dou mused in a blog post on the official Chrome site.
