Google has more accurate and super fast voice recognition engine than its competitors. You will experience that when you use Voice search feature in Google App on Android and iPhone. They brought it to web via Google chrome web browser last year and its quite useful for people who use google search regularly. I first tried it on my Macbook Pro and impressed with its quick response time but some time it asked me to “Try Again” because of noise in the surrounding. After several months in development “Voice Search” feature finally arrives in Google Chrome web browser.

Google has allowed the FCC to publish its full, unredacted letter on the Google Voice iPhone app issue. The document claims that Apple did in fact reject the application, despite its claims otherwise.

By default this feature is turned off and you have to enable it from settings to make google chrome listen to your voice and respond. If the laptop or desktop microphone gain is not high then google may find it difficult to process your voice. If you want to use this voice search feature regularly then you may consider upgrading your microphone for better gain and quick answers.

Enable “OK Google” Voice Search on Mac OS X

As i mentioned earlier, the voice search feature turned off by default and you have to manually turn it on in order to use it. This is mainly because of permission requirements with the computer you are using. When you enable “OK Google” feature in Chrome browser, it will prompt you with a dialog box requesting permission to access your microphone for listening to your queries. You have to accept and allow Google Chrome to use your microphone to make this one work. Then you can open any new tab to access voice search feature. In mac i have tested that it is faster and gets ready to listen for our command even when i said “OK GO“, i didn’t complete the word google but its ears are so close to the microphone 😉

After enabling “OK Google” feature in Mac OS X computers, whenever you open a new tab in Chrome browser, you will see a microphone in OS X Menu bar. The first icon in above screenshot. This microphone icon indicates that Chrome is now listening for “OK Google” followed by commands that you want to ask Google.
