Google is set to unveil the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL at their annual hardware event (albeit at a different time and place from earlier years .) There’s little we don’t know about the upcoming Google Pixel 3 XL thanks to pre-production units making their way to the Ukraine and Russia.

The post Google Assistant multi-language support rolls out for 6 languages appeared first on BardTech . So far, we’ve seen a lot of great devices at IFA 2018. The Sony Xperia XZ3 , BlackBerry KEY2 LE , ZTE Axon 9 , and Honor Play , to name a few. But Google doesn’t want to be forgotten. The company has announced a big new feature for Google Assistant that makes it possible to understand multiple languages at once. Google Assistant already supports a bunch of languages. However, you have to manually choose one of the languages and then it will only use that language. This can be a problem if you have people in the same house trying to use Google Home in multiple languages. Now, you can select two languages and Assistant will automatically detect the language you are speaking with and use that to respond. The languages you can choose include English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, and Japanese. So if one person talks in English, Google Assistant will respond in English. ...

The post The Google Assistant is now bilingual  appeared first on BardTech . The Google Assistant just got more useful for multilingual families. Starting today , you’ll be able to set up two languages in the Google Home app and the Assistant on your phone and Google Home will then happily react to your commands in both English and Spanish, for example. Today’s announcement doesn’t exactly come as a surprise, given that Google announced at its I/O developer conference earlier this year that it was working on this feature. It’s nice to see that this year, Google is rolling out its I/O announcements well before next year’s event. That hasn’t always been the case in the past. Currently, the Assistant is only bilingual and it still has a few languages to learn. But for the time being, you’ll be able to set up any language pair that includes English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Japanese. More pairs are coming in the future and Google also says it is working on trilingua...

The post Marshall launches its first Alexa/Google Assistant smart speakers appeared first on BardTech . Marshall Speakers are hardly the first third-party manufacturer to hop on the smart speaker bandwagon, but the company’s got a strong case for bringing the best design into the mix. Announced at IFA in Berlin this week, the Acton II and Stanmore II continue the line’s legacy of cribbing heavily from Marshall’s iconic guitar amp designs. It’s not original, really, but it’s a sort of timeless design that should fit in pretty comfortably most living rooms. The speakers are both launching in the fall with Amazon Alexa on-board. Google Assistant will be arriving later in the year, letting them do double assistant duty. A cheeky bit of ad copy on that front from Marshall, Just like a roadie, Alexa is there to help while you’re busy doing other things. Can’t remember the name of a song? Say the lyrics and Alexa will find it for you. Looking for information on when your favourite band g...

The post Google App tests a new layout for the Google Assistant settings page appeared first on BardTech . The Google App is the application that contains the Google Assistant , Google Lens , Google Feed, Google Search, and Google Podcasts services. The app has become quite bloated as Google wants these services available on as many devices as possible with the Google App pre-installed. The settings page has added a ton of new entries with the introduction of every new feature and service, so it’s become rather difficult to find what you’re looking for. To make it easier for users to change the Google Assistant’s settings, the Google App is testing a cleaner settings page with tabbed subsections. First discovered by XDA Recognized Developer  Quinny899  and enabled by us, the new Google Assistant settings page is in testing on the latest beta version of the Google App. Shown below is the current Google App layout. Although the current layout separates subsections wi...
