Google has just announced its new real-time search feature, which they call ‘Google Instant’. The technology will be rolled out to Android mobile phones from December onwards, although it’s been tested on some smartphones in the techie sphere already.
How this works is as you type in a word, Google will deliver results based on the characters you’ve typed in on your Android phonem, such as the HTC Desire or Motorola Milestone.
Earlier today Eric Schmidt made a post on his twitter page stating:
“I predict big things happening today at Google. We’re already fast… fast is about to get faster.”
Google have also announced their new technology which will allow for real-time translation via android devices in around two-years time.
Google plans to use its voice recognition, 52-language text translation and text-to-speech technologies for the solution.
Once again this comes courtesy of Google, who has been working hard on its ‘Google Chrome Experiments’ program, which led to the HTML5 Doodle homepages which we’ve seen recently.
This is exciting as if both technologies are run simultaneously on an android hand-set, that could mean voice activated search that’s not only accurate, but also predictive.
The HTML5 Doodles which led to all of this can be seen below.
