Google Chrome Can Detects Typos In URLs
Google Chrome is now able to check for typos in URLs and display suggested websites based on what it thinks you mean.
Google announced this change is part of a larger accessibility update and will first arrive on desktop before moving to mobile in the “coming months.”
The feature is yet to appear on Chrome on macOS.
Google have also revealed new updates to its Live Caption feature that can transcribe what someone is saying in real time.
Now users will be able to type responses during a phone call and have it read out loud to the caller. This feature will first appear on the “latest” Pixel devices, then on older Pixel phones and other Android devices.
The company is also planning to roll out an optimised captions box on Android tablets and add Live Caption support for French, Italian, and German on the Pixel 4 & 5, along with other Android devices.
Google Maps will also be getting an update that makes its wheelchair-accessible icon visible to everyone.
Google have also announced a closed beta for a few new features with the Lookout app, for users who are blind or suffer from low vision.
It will now be able to process and generate descriptions of images with or without alt text or captions.
Users will also be able to ask further questions, to which the app will attempt an answer using advanced visual language.
