Google is not yet done with adding features to its Google Search app
for Android, with a new feature announced shortly after the announcement
of camera voice command
feature on Thursday. The search giant's latest Google Search app
feature lets users know relevant information about any song that's
playing - similar to Shazam and SoundHound.
"So we're down to the
Top 10 on #Idol . Whether you're tuning in for CJ's soulful country,
Jena's piano power, or Caleb's rawk... if you happen to miss the name of
one of the songs while watching, just tap the mic in your #GoogleSearch
app (or say "Ok Google") and say "Listen to TV." You'll find out the
title, artist and other cover versions," stated the post by Google on
its Google+ account.
Much
like the freshly announced camera voice-command feature for the Google
Search app, this feature can also be accessed by tapping the mic icon in
the Google Search app or widget, or by saying 'Ok Google', and then
saying the voice command - 'Listen to TV'. The app will then listen to
the playing music, recognize the song title via Google's boundless
wealth of knowledge, and then give the relevant song information - such
as its artist, album name and more.
The new Google Search feature
is said to eliminate the extra hassle to download a dedicated widget and
makes it easier to manage, as all this is wrapped-up in one single app.
This feature will the Shazam and
SoundHound music apps hard, as before this feature by Google, they have
been the most popular apps available in the Google Play store offering the same
functionality.
For now, the Google Search app on Play Store
has not yet been updated, and doesn't yet feature the new camera and
song recognition voice-commands. We can expect the updated Google Search
app for Android to be rolled out globally soon.
