“It’s that time of year… the in-laws are coming for a tasty Turkey Day dinner. You’re elbow-deep in your turkey, ready to start the stuffing and you need to quickly calculate how many ounces of walnuts are in a cup. This year, rather than stopping midway through to wash your hands and type in a search, you can just speak to your laptop: “Ok Google, how many ounces are in one cup?” Et voila, the cooking can go on,” Google posted on Google+.
This is a nice feature added. You can just speak to your laptop and ask anything. You can also use it to set timer just by saying, “Ok Google, set a timer for 5 minutes.” Currently this feature is only available for English users only.
Google also posted a video on YouTube to demonstrate how it works.
