Google Chrome has recently launched its latest version, which includes the option to enter text via voice commands with xSpeechKit.

xSpeechKit
xSpeechKit is the new feature that Google Chrome has, now you can enter text into the Google search engine with the use of your voice. This option is available as a browser extension.

xSpeechKit Google Text Via Speech Voice
So if you want to search by entering text by voice, you just need download the extension xSpeechKit, install it and quickly start making your searches. Just like Android users can do it. Once you’ve installed xSpeechKit, you will see the image of a small microphone in the search bar icon that indicates you can enter text by voice.

But that’s not all, xSpeechKit recognizes almost all the input boxes that appear in pages that you open using the Google Chrome web-browser. It also recognizes form fields and email input fields. But unfortunately, it doesn’t recognize password input fields and character support for common symbols like the comma (,), Period (.), and (@) and dash(_) symbols are not available for email input fields.

Right now this tool is best if it’s used to enter text in search fields. But I have no doubt Google will continue working on it so that it will be more compatible with the other input fields.

Right next to each search result provided on Google, you will see a new button that will serve to eliminate the current search result, and the next searches we make on related subjects.

Manage Google Blocked Sites
This functionality could already be used with Personal Blocklist, which is part of a series of measures that Google has developed to improve the quality of results offered by their searches.

This new tool includes configuration options, including the ability to manage blocked domains, with more information on it and unlock it with the option to appear in subsequent searches.

For now this new functionality is only available for the English version of Google. So if you are using a different language and you want to try this new option now, you can change the language to English search engine and search.

In addition, this option also depends on the browser you are using when you connect to the Google search engine. Because browsers that support this new feature are the latest versions of browsers: Internet Explorer 8, Chrome 9 and Firefox 3.5.

The blocking of a site by users do not interfere with the positioning of this site in search results, according to the information that Google has provided in his blog. Also, this new functionality will only serve to personalize the search results. This is intended to prevent abuse of this button to delete the websites are for users who attempt to interfere with the positioning of the sites blocked.
