Easy Natural Language in Google

Greg Hughes writes about a great feature in Google where you can actually ask it what time it is in a certain place in natural language and get a response. This is cool, and something I’m sure I’ll be making big use of when traveling. Google keeps amazing me more every day.

I also make big use of Google’s conversion features where, for example, typing “11cm in inches” yields the actual answer. Handy.

  • @Gomeler Nice. I've been temped to get one of those coin roll machines. Partly to sort the change, partly because they are kinda cool. [#] 3:11pm
  • @hiway I don't think that's OCR, just being able to fine edges. OCR is actually extracting characters. [#] 3:07pm
