Google, at its 2022 edition of the India-specific event, has introduced a number of new features across its products like Search, Google Pay, and more. Plus, the tech giant has introduced efforts for improvements in AI in India, digitization of farmland in partnership with the Telangana Government, and more. Check out the details below.
Google has introduced fraud detection on Google Pay, which will notify users of possible fraudulent behavior in their preferred language or a vibration. Google Pay will also showcase the transaction history and even ask about spending.
All the documents will be organized and easily searchable. Plus, Google’s custom AI model will identify important documents and even arranges them in a simple view. The usage will be offline and all the documents will be safe. Users will also be able to organize their family’s documents too and can protect the documents folder with a passcode.
Search also has the ‘Search in video’ feature to look for a specific thing in a video. Google Search is also bilingual, making it easier for people to look for stuff in their preferred language alongside English. This feature now supports Hindi and will get support for Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, and Bengali in the coming year.
Voice-based searches now support a new speech recognition model to easily recognize Hinglish. Additionally, Google has piloted Project Relate, which is an app for people with non-standard speech. This app is being tested with English-speaking users and will soon support Hindi in 2023.
Google has a new AI and machine learning model, which will easily detect text and medicine in hand-written prescriptions by doctors.
Google has also collaborated with the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) for its Project Vaani to collect and transcribe open-source speech data from across all of India’s 773 districts. The data will be available to the Government of India’s Bhashini project in the future.
