Google has expanded its real-time artificial intelligence (AI) voice search function through smartphone cameras around the world, including Korea.
Google announced that it will increase the service area of ‘Search Live’, which had been serviced only in English in the United States, to more than 200 countries around the world.
Search Live is a function that can be used in situations where it is difficult to enter a search word directly or requires an immediate answer.
If you turn on the Google app and click the “Live” icon at the bottom, you can immediately talk to AI and hear answers about objects or situations seen through the camera.
Google explained that it has applied Google’s newly released voice-specific AI model “Jeminai 3.1 Flash Live” to expand this function into multiple languages.
This model has multi-lingual processing capabilities, enabling seamless conversation in a language that is convenient for most users around the world.
Accurate conversations can be made without delay even in complex reasoning processes, and tone recognition function has been improved, reducing unnatural conversations.
Google also added that it applied “SynthID,” a digital watermark that reveals that the audio created in this way was created with AI.
Google has also expanded its real-time headphone translation function, which was released only through Android smartphone apps, to iPhone (iOS) apps.
When you open the Google Translation app and turn on the real-time function, interpretation begins, and since this process is done through a smartphone, you do not need to purchase specific headphones to use the service.
