Have you ever been in a hurry and really needed to find an answer to something, but there was no one to ask? Now you can just speak your query. Google India announces the launch of a downloadable Google Mobile App for Nokia S60 (most N and E series models, e.g. N 86, E 63) users. This will enable easier and faster access to Google Search.
Google Mobile App is equipped with speech recognition technology designed to understand Indian accents. Search by voice on mobile will now trigger a Google Search as soon as users speak their search queries.
The free-to-use application helps users to search for updates on cricket and local business listings. The application automatically detects the user’s location. As soon as a user enters a pizza or pharmacy query, the search returns results closest to one’s current location.
Google Mobile App for Nokia S60 also has a smart suggest feature which suggests search terms query, thus minimizing typing in case one is using the mobile key board and resulting in faster completion of a query.
Announcing the launch Vinay Goel, Head of Products, Google India, said “With millions of new mobile users being added every month Google Mobile App’s will provide them with a quick and easy way to get the required information whenever and wherever they need it. With the launch of this service for Nokia S60 handsets we would be catering to a larger segment of mobile users, as a significant number of Nokia phone users are on the S60."
