Jelly Bean Voice Search Looks Like A Feature That Might Actually Be Useful


How much is Angelina Jolie worth? Where did Natalie Portman go to college? How do I get to the Moscone Centre on foot? What’s the height restriction for the Space Mountain ride? What fish species are in Lake Tahoe? Google’s new voice search knows the answer to all of these questions and in Jelly Bean it can speak them to you without even breaking a sweat.

This nine-minute video demonstrates just how much work Google has put into the new voice search on Jelly Bean. It’s seriously impressive.

Knowledge Graph results look very slick, it speaks everything in a pleasant voice and doesn’t take too long to get you a response.

It will even do a barrel roll for you. [YouTube via Engadget]
