Google today updated its Google Go search application with a handy new feature: the ability to read web sites out loud.
Google Go is primarily found on devices running the Android Go platform. It can now read billions of web pages in 28 different languages in a smooth an natural-sounding voice. Google says the technology uses artificial intelligence to ascertain which parts of a web site to read out loud and which to skip over. The feature uses minimal data and can work over 2G connections.
Google believes the feature will be useful for these with poor eyesight, or when multitasking, or when learning a new language. The feature is available to the latest version of Google Go.
