Did You Know You Could Talk To Google?

In a recent update, Google now allows all those with the Chrome browser, Mac & Windows alike, to search Google via their voice. "Ok Google" is Google's popular buzzword or as they like to call it "hotwording" that allows you to access Google's talk feature without having to actually click something to turn it on. Just update your Chrome browser, restart it, and you're talking to Google. 

So how does Google's voice compare to the other listening software out there? From this blogger's perspective, it actually works the best. For me, I have to speak to Siri in a British accent in order for her to understand me, which 90% of the time she does not. As for Windows' Cortana, which comes from their popular Xbox exclusive game Halo, we will have to wait and see. 

However, in my past experience with Windows' voice commands, I don't expect it to be too good. Alought, it has been years since I read paragraph after paragraph of Shakespeare to my old Dell laptop in order for the program to learn my voice, so I hope some updates have been made to the program. 

Regardless, this technology is soon to take off. We've removed the buttons from our phones and now the phones are no longer in our hands. This is a dream for millions of geeks around the world as we continue to bring the the future closer.
