Google is testing a voice search feature

In a Network there was an interesting news: apparently, Google is currently testing a voice search feature to its search service. This is what the official information from the Corporation was received. The first new feature I noticed one of the readers of Mashable, on Monday afternoon. Voice search detects your system's microphone and allows you to use the widget "Speak now" to convert the spoken phrases to text.

In principle, the owners of phones based on the Android OS should be familiar with Google Voice Search, voice where you can control certain functions of the phone. For example, the phrase "Directions to Empire State Building New York" will help to reach this building in new York. The Corporation is currently actively working on improving the product, and even taught the program to recognize Chinese (Russian Google more or less learned to understand from the end of 2010).

Apparently, now it's time for the final phase of product testing for desktops and laptops, and not just for mobile devices. Unfortunately, the access function is closed for most users, voice search appears randomly, and the lucky ones who were able to test the new functionality Google.com not so much.

Similar functionality, if everything will work fine, and will be presented to support not one English, but other languages will be very useful. On the other hand, a huge number of companies struggling to create enough reliable solutions in the field of voice recognition, but so far one hundred percent working software for your PC or mobile device that would "type" text by voice, no.

Below you can find some screenshots that made the reader Mashable, testing a new function.

Automatically create Liquibase migrations for PostgreSQL

Working with Liquibase always brings confidence in the fact that the database objects are in the same condition in which you want it. It is this confidence and makes system migrations so popular databases. Today I want to tell you how to make using liquibase a bit easier. If you write a migration by hand, and your target database is PostgreSQL, then read this article, I am sure, the time spent on reading the article will be repaid with interest. I hope you already know how to work with Liquibase, so only two words describe how the system works. In order to make changes in the database, you need to create a migration file (changeset) that you need to specify in the file change log (changelog), after which the migration can be successfully applied to the target database. Undeniable and obvious benefit of this approach is the ability to rollback the changes. In my opinion, liquibase, there is only one drawback — the automatic rollback of changes only works only if the mi

the Background application on androidphone when you install the application Vkontakte is possible to use it as a provider of contacts to synchronize the contacts from Facebook with contacts in your address book. In this case stretches the avatar, date of birth, address, phone numbers, etc. When I after prolonged use HTC Wildfire S rated and are so used to this that he wanted to find a similar to the iPhone. Not found, so we took it and made his own — Synchronizer VKontakte :) It was back in November of last year. The application was done fairly quickly — it uses quite a few functions of Vkontakte API and functionality with the address book of the iPhone. But when we started to deal with the automatic matching of contacts, it was fun. Compare head-on by name, last name and phone number was easy to do, easy, and worked through it quickly. But found only 20 percent of coincidences of the contacts from what is provider in Android. Of course, only direct hits do not sui

/ > the time Machine Internet Archive is the largest and well-known archive that preserves web pages since 1995. Besides him there are a dozen other services, which are also archived to the web: the indexes of search engines and industry-specific archives like Archive-It , UK Web Archive , Cite Web , ArchiefWeb , Diigo . Interesting to know how many web pages gets into these files, relative to the total number of documents in the Internet? It is known that the base of the Internet Archive for 2011 contains more than 2.7 billion URIs , many of them in multiple copies taken at different points in time. For example, the home page of Habra "photographed" already 518 times since July 3, 2006 . It is also known that the base reference Google five years ago overstepped the mark in trillion unique URLS , although many of the documents were duplicated. Google is not able to perform all URLS, so the company decided to count the number of documents in the Internet a
