Google introduces Australian accent for maps, Android app questions

I’ve Been Everywhere, Man anthem is trending Down Under in the past couple of days. A one-minute music video posted by Google Australia on YouTube, a reloaded version of Geoff Mack’s classic, is the in-thing to be precise. The video announces the latest add-on, the Aussie accent for maps and Android app questions on Google, to ensure a better and perfect pathfinder for the native language speakers of Australia. Quoting Mashable Australia, a Google spokesperson has said, “People are starting to talk to their mobile devices more regularly — in fact, mobile voice searches have more than doubled in the past year alone.” Explaining further, this means, voice search can do more good for search engine optimisation in future with more and more people preferring smart phones and tablets over desktop and laptops by each passing year. Google is experimenting on incorporating face-recognition in its smart phones so that real time identification of faces and objects take place with no interference from remote data centres over the Web.
