Google Voice Search Improved To Be Faster, More Accurate

In addition to being more accurate and quicker to respond, Google’s newer technology requires much lower computational resources.

Google is taking steps to improve on the reality that there will always be discrepancies between what you say and what a device understands, otherwise we would all be talking to our phones on a constant instead of typing it out.

In short, Google is now even better at correctly recognizing your speech, especially in situations with a lot of background noise, and the delay between speech and interpretation has been made even shorter. With speech recognition becoming an increasingly popular choice of human-computer interaction, it’s no surprise that Google is pulling out all the stops when it comes to developing better voice search functionality.

The company went on to make it clear that it would continue to focus on voice search.

Google explained in its blog post that it has updated the neural network it’s using for voice search.

It’s reportedly a huge enhancement on previous models that is set to make the feature much more useful to users.

The improved neural network is able to consume the incoming audio in larger chunks than conventional models without performing as many calculations. Earlier this month, Google rolled out a new transcription tool for Docs in Google Chrome with support for more than 40 languages.

If you have been tracking progress of voice assistants offered by Apple (Siri), Microsoft (Cortana) and Google (Google Now) lately (Fb is too coming up with something soon), you’d have a fair bit of idea that Google Now has probably been the more left behind one.

“Very few people rely on any smartphone voice products”, he said.

Voice recognition programs fail to meet all customers’ requests every time they get tested.
