Google adds a new type of content next to text -based results in mobile devices. The feature that the company calls the “voice summary çözüm brings short voice narratives created by Artificial Intelligence (AI) in certain searches to users. This feature, which is currently tested only in English searches in the USA, can be activated through Google Labs. In this way, users get an option to listen to instead of reading the results in their search for certain information. Audio Overview offers an alternative to those who want to access information, especially on the movement with Podcast -like structure.
In the search results, when the “Generate Audio Overview” button, which appears just below the “People Also Ask” box, is pressed, the system creates an audio summary within about 40 seconds. The content created is presented by two virtual narrators performed by artificial intelligence. These narrators aim to transfer different perspectives to the user with a format that explains the subject by discussing the subject. The player supports basic controls such as pause, silence and speed adjustment. In addition to all these, the connections of the resources used are shown just below the player.
The production of voice content, which Google integrated with its products such as Gemini, Notebooklm and Google Documents, has been moved directly to the search results. Thus, the process of artificial intelligence -supported voice explanation process previously carried out on documents or notes is integrated directly with the web search. This innovation indicates that non -text search experiences can become more common in the future. Nevertheless, the fact that the system is currently trying only with a limited users of users in the USA shows that the transition to general use will take time.
Google voice summaries make a part of the mobile search experience
The contents offered with Audio Overview are separated from traditional search results in terms of both form and use. These summaries, which are structured as a mutual speech of two voices to explain the issue, aim to facilitate the more fluently understanding. This structure offers a method that can be effective especially in the transfer of technical or multi -step issues. In addition, this form of content, which is not visually -oriented, can be more suitable for different usage scenarios compared to text reading. However, the fact that all users are not accustomed to this format may face a limited acceptance in the first stage.
Google’s step can be considered as an extension of long -term studies to transform the form of search results. In information searches made on mobile devices, the tendency to turn to voice content is gradually increasing. This system, which makes it possible for the user to access information without fixing the eye to the screen, can be a practical solution, especially for users competing against time. On the other hand, restrictions such as production time up to 40 seconds and only English language support are among the main elements that limit the use of the system for now.
In the future, such content is expected to be available in different languages, shorter waiting times and wider geographies. Today, however, Google’s new voice summaries can still be tested at an experimental stage and by a limited section. In the search results, the addition of voice narrative to content such as text, visual and video shows that the platform’s efforts to expand the way of offering content. It can be foreseen that Google’s experiment will be shaped depending on user feedback and the next steps will be taken accordingly.
