Google has updated its Google Now Search with the 'No, I Said' command, a new feature designed to correct misinterpretations of what the user says.
The feature is available for the iOS and Android versions of the Google Search application, and serves as backup in case the search giant's "OK Google" voice search doesn't understand the user's words, according to Techradar.
OK Google depends on clear speech, quiet surroundings and other factors to work accurately. The new command was added as a way to make the Google voice search more natural and conversational, International Business Times reported.
"No, I Said" was demonstrated in a video in Google+ to show how it corrects misheard words easily and instantly. The user in the video asks to search for "baroque artists," which was misinterpreted as "broke artists." The user then used the voice command to say "No, I said baroque," resulting in the misunderstood word being cleared up and the desired results given.
Google, however, didn't mention the addition of the feature in the company's latest notes released for Google Search apps, TechRadar reported. All that was mentioned were the usual "bug fixes and performance improvements" for Google Play.
Google's goal in making its voice assistant app easier to use and more human has resulted in constant updates, International Business Times reported. However, the company's voice-activated personal assistant has become stronger with the addition of "No I Said," making it stronger than Apple's Siri, which doesn't feature the ability to correct misunderstood words.
The addition of the voice command is one of the search giant most recent updates, which include bringing offline support to its Google Now Cards so users can look at cards without being connected to the Internet. Google's Voice search also received support for Indian dialect in order to provide a better search experience for Indian users.
