Speak to Chrome...!

Hey friends! Sorry I haven't been able to post for a while... Just got a little busy in my college life, but I promise I am gonna make it up to you... :)


With increasing competition in technology, where all companies are rushing to prove themselves in the field of technology why would Google stay back, after all it is the one which invented the word technology....

Google technologies are now coming up with the idea to develop audio capabilities in Google Chrome that could serve just the right purpose...




A very potential text-to-speech system for mobile and desktop browsers has already been developed in the company. Sources also claim that a formal conference was held in San Francisco recently, just to spread the message across.



They've been hoping that the text-to-speech APIs as well as the voice input, voice recognition ship in Chrome also become a Web standard that is implementable by any browser out there. However, no estimations of the date of offering this facility has been out as yet.


I would also like to tell you here that people who want to use voice input system can now speak of their queries with quite an ease... :)

There is voice recognition and there is text-to-speech, so not at all eventually a bad idea to build that into the browser. Adding here that the company is hopeful that its technology will be able enable a whole new class of applications...

I think it would be really great... Let's hope for the best and wish them luck... :)

  8. Not looking forward to it. Most of those kind of features are best for the blind, that kind of stuff. Why would we want crappy text-to-speech voiceover of our webpages?
