Google’s new update to Audio Overviews has finally entered the testing phase, helping users to absorb information without having to stop and read lengthy articles or search results.
Since the way we consume information online is being revolutionised, Google's new search feature will make it easier than ever to stay informed and up-to-date through artificial intelligence (AI) to provide spoken summaries of search results.
With a simple audio player interface that offers play/pause controls, volume adjustment, and playback speed options, the Audio Overviews feature is made to be easy to use.
This enables users to personalise their listening experience and learn at their own speed. Links to information sources are also made visible, allowing users to learn more about subjects that grab their interest.
The ability of this feature to increase accessibility to information is among its most intriguing features. It also offers a practical and hands-free way to stay informed, regardless of whether you're multitasking, on the go, or just prefer to read.
In order to help and improve the tool, users can also give the overviews a thumbs up or down.
Audio Overviews expands on Google's earlier AI Overviews, which provided text-based summaries for intricate queries, as part of the company's larger push towards generative AI in search.
This new update has the potential to revolutionise how we engage with online information thanks to its creative methodology and intuitive design.
