Fun with google

[Brian Kent]

I don't know if this is new or if I am slow, but I am loving the google voice command.

Inside the search box is a microphone icon. You click on it. It reads "speak now". You say what you want and don't click or anything.

It can tell the difference between Lee Valley and Lie Nielsen.

It had a little trouble with "Pre-World War II Stanley Number 3 bench plane".

So is it new or am I slow?

are you kin to Clark Kent ? what voice command ? my google are the slow one

[Brian Kent]

No direct lineage that I know of.

I just tried to show a friend who uses a "Safari" browser and there is no little microphone in the command field. Not in Firefox either.

It shows up in Google's "Chrome" browser.

What browser do you use, Ray?

[ray hampton]

I use FireFox

So I guess this is something from Google to make you choose Google's browser.

The best reason to choose Google is because it happen to be the best
