Google Voice Search and The Verbalizer

Laura — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 14:24:58 +0000

Google is a something I use on a daily basis. I usually type in the rectangular box what I want to search and click enter. This is a normal gesture for me and for millions users around the world.

Well, Google just launched a new feature that will allow users to search using voice instead of typed words. It is called Voice Search.

Multitasking was a reality for most people and now it has become even more used once you can have your hands busy for instance with a coffee and a book and make a Google search at the same time.

The microphone symbol that shows up in Google search box is a very useful tool for busy and for lazy people. Those multitasking will be pleased to use it and so will those that don’t want to spend time typing what they want to search.

This new feature will please those traveling once it works while mobile. If we go to a country with a different language we can use the Voice Search to translate words and even sentences. We can also check weather forecast and other important news we might need while on the road, such as restaurant information.

With the launch of the Voice Search a new device was immediately designed. The Verbalizer is a small gadget that connects to our computers via Bluetooth and when connected it opens a new tab on the web browser and immediately activates Voice Search. A sound will then be played and the person will know that the user can say the words that are supposed to be searched on Google.

If you want to make your own Verbalizer you can find all the instructions you need here.

I’ve been on the same web hosting service from a few years and although there are the “server down” periods I find the service worthy the money I pay.

I have a regular web hosting service but I’ve been following new tendencies in the market. Some companies now offer pci compliant hosting, ecommerce hosting, HIPAA compliant hosting and other options.

Although I’m not about changing web hosting to another company in a near future is good to keep an eye on the new features that are being offered.

Online Gmat Preparation

Laura — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 13:28:15 +0000

The Internet is amazing. There are so many things we can do online without having to leave the comfort of our home.

I really regret not having a MBA. I didn’t get one before I started working and now I really feel I don’t have the patience to go back to school. I’ve been doing some free e-courses on web design because I really want to learn to code complete websites and one of these days I came across a word that really got my attention: Knewton. Who doesn’t want to know tons of things?

I took a look at the site and it really caught my eye. One of the courses available is gmat prep. Gmat stands for Graduate Management Admissions Test and it’s used to prepare students to have the required skills to apply for a MBA. This course is done online, at our pace, lessons can be taken on live chat but also on demand to allow those with little time to have access to them when they can. The best teachers are available to teach us how to succeed and improve our skills.

I must confess that I was really interested (although the LSAT and SAT courses are also available) on the gmat preparation and the conditions offered. We can have a free trial and that’s what I intend to do in the next couple of days.

Get an Online Degree

Laura — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 13:38:00 +0000

One thing I regret not having at the age of 40 is a degree. Although it is difficult to find a job even with a degree at least we show a different image when we send our curriculum vitae or we go to an interview.

Now that I quit my full time job I really am thinking about getting an online degree. I could do it from home, take and pick up my kids from school and still take care of the house.

I did an online research and I found the Western Governor University that has been mentioned in several well known magazines and TV channels. The website of the WGU is very simple to navigate and it has deep information on the online University. Students come from every social stratus, from different locations, in fact there are students from all the U.S. States studying in the WGU. A lot of people are full time workers that are looking for a online business degree to succeed in their career.

Western Governor University is a non-profit university and prices are lower than in other online universities. You can ask for admission at any time of the year because new student groups start their studies every month, so if you do not enter in one month because a group has already started, you will start the following month.

I am really thrilled with this idea of getting back to “school” and WGU really is an excellent choice.

Many people don’t know that they might have access to a Social Security Disability if they have some kind of disability. Allsup assist those people throughout the application process.
