Apple Buys Tech That Could Help Them To Make Siri Offline Apple has sort-of-confirmed that it recently snapped up another small company, called Novauris. The firm specializes in speech recognition and has historical ties to the core technology and patents underpinning Siri. TechCrunch reports that Novauris's experts are already working inside Apple to improve its voice assistant, but no one really knows exactly what they're up to. One of Novauris's big strengths has been locally-processed recognition, which doesn't rely on distant servers, so it's possible that Apple wants Siri to accomplish more without a data connection. Apple's current Siri partner, Nuance, can also do offline processing, but Apple hasn't been able to bring that technology in-house. We're just speculating, of course, but this is a function that no voice assistant has really mastered so far (although others are definitely working on it), and it's even more impo...

Through these sites, it is possible to see that the internet has helped bring people closer together by facilitating the way in which people meet as well as in the way they m...

Google Set To Update Camera App With Support For 3rd Party Extensions Google is reportedly preparing to push new features and improvements to the stock Android camera app. According to “sources aware of Google plans” cited by En gadget, Google is currently testing the new app, which will eventually be offered as a standalone app in the Play Store, making it possible for Google to update it without a full system update. Said sources claim the camera app will gain a refreshed user interface and that Google is going to fix framing, so the entirety of the shot is visible in preview mode when taking a picture.
