Google Assistant for Cowin vaccine booking

Google Assistant will now provide end-to-end assistance for vaccination booking on the Cowin website. By integrating with eight Indian languages in addition to English, Google has made this feature truly ready for Indians. According to Prabhakar Raghavan, Senior Vice President of Google India, voice queries are used twice the global average in India. “Many users are comfortable talking to it,” he said. Google Assistant will work in Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Gujarati, Marathi, Bengali and Hindi besides English. The feature is expected to be out at the beginning of 2022.

Local language support for Google Search

Another addition is in Google Search, where it will now show results in the user’s local language. One added benefit to this feature is that it will show the pages in the user’s local languages, even if the original content is in English. Google is using advanced machine learning techniques to enhance its translation features.

To further extend its voice-driven experience, Google brings the facility to hear search results aloud. A button shown on the search results page will facilitate this feature. Google Search enables reading in Hinglish, Hindi, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi and Tamil.
