OK GOOGLE - How many kilos in 10 stone?

Check your google now search bar. You might now have a fancy voice activated search!

After upgrading android a few days ago, i noticed some new text in the search bar, asking me to say “OK GOOGLE”. I did, and it activated voice recognition and then search for what i said next. COOL!

It then spoke the answer (if it was a wikipedia entry or something else it recognised). Very handy.

I agree its a bit of a gimmick at the moment, but the voice recognition was fairly good and i can see it improving to the point where its second nature.

After doing some research i found it was actually released way back in Feb this year, but i guess i never notice (and expect you didn’t too). http://techcrunch.com/2014/02/27/google-adds-built-in-ok-google-voice-search-to-chrome-beta/
