Google’s latest round of updates for its Bard artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot has added the ability to respond with spoken words instead of just text.<\/p>\n
It also expanded Bard’s linguistic knowledge while adding more response controls, and Bard can now provide responses in over 40 languages.<\/p>\n
According to Google<\/a><\/strong>, these languages include Arabic, Chinese, German, Hindi and Spanish, and Google has expanded access to Bard to new regions, including Brazil and Europe.<\/p>\n “As we bring Bard to more regions and languages over time, we’ll continue to use our AI Principles as a guide, incorporate user feedback, and take steps to protect people’s privacy and data,” it added.<\/p>\n Google has added the ability for Bard to read its responses out loud instead of just providing text responses.<\/p>\n “Starting today, you can listen to Bard’s responses. This is especially helpful if you want to hear the correct pronunciation of a word or listen to a poem or script,” said Google.<\/p>\n “Simply enter a prompt and select the sound icon to hear Bard’s answers.”<\/p>\n It also made it possible to adjust the tone of Bard’s responses from options including “simple, long, short, professional or casual”.<\/p>\n “For example, you can ask Bard to help you write a marketplace listing for a vintage armchair and then shorten the response using the drop-down,” it said.<\/p>\n Google noted that the response controls are currently only available in English, but it plans to expand it to more languages soon.<\/p>\n Google says Bard can now respond to questions vocally and in more than 40 languages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":341076,"featured_media":491165,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[35793,167,84519,87689],"class_list":["post-500265","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-software","tag-artificial-intelligence-ai","tag-google","tag-google-bard","tag-large-language-model"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/500265"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/341076"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=500265"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/500265\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/491165"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=500265"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=500265"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=500265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
