Google was previously absent from the field of voice assistance services. But if the new Google Search should hold a candle to Siri, S-Voice voice assistant and Windows Phone, it is Google Now, which attracts all the attention.
At the Google I / O conference, the Mountain View company unveiled Android 4.1 / Jelly Bean will happen in mid-July. The opportunity to discover with this update of Android, the Google Search voice assistant will suffer from the comparison with Siri, S Voice of Samsung, Angie or the voice assistant of Microsoft Windows Phone. But it is especially Google Now that seduced during his presentation.
Ironically, Google Now is not however a vocal support. Rather, it is an intelligent assistant. He will be in Jelly Bean as a new feature of Android. Unlike other assistants, Google Now is based on what he knows of you to offer contextual and relevant things. You can find it by dragging your finger up from the bottom of the home page. True aggregator of information, it will distill information of any kind at the right time. It is here that one can speak of a real wizard.
He is able to remember appointments, suggest an alternative route in case of heavy traffic or indicate you the next train when it detects that you are in a train station. Still without having requested but only consulted or having received a notification, it will be able to tell you a restaurant to suit your tastes (your knowledge based on extensive research of Chinese restaurants for example) if you are located in town. Google Now uses Geo-location and browsing history and other information related to the use of your smartphone.
He will be in a future iteration of Android, Jelly Bean, but it could then land in iOS and use such a notification system to "talk" to you. We imagine also a partner in the new version of Google Search to be released with Android 4.1, it could become the ultimate voice assistant. What also scare some users who will see a pervasive assistant and then prefer to silence him. As if talking to his phone may still seem surprising in public, what about the phone is for you at the movies or on the bus to your great surprise and that of those around you?
But ultimately, Google Now is it not a complementary service of a voice assistant, Google Search for Android and intended simply to learn more and more about you to inform you always accurately. So much so that over time, you will be more difficult to move to another Android platform.
