Using Products Fresh from Google Labs

If you spend most of your time on Google,Gmail,Gtalk ,Orkut,Blogger or any other Google Product. Then this page is the most essential thing that you need to visit. "Google Labs" ,as it is called, is a PlayGround for Google Employees where they spend their Time apart from the Work@Google to think,innovate on some cool Products that can be a successful product later on.. This is the same channel through which Gmail came up which so  now has  so many users worldwide.

So talking about Google Labs.There are Few Products that caught my attention which I would like to share :

1) Google Translation : This one is the biggest thing because it may help you talk with some Russian or Polish acquaintances in near future on Gtalk or mailing them by merely typing things in English. Google as Always would do the Translation for you from English to Russian/Polish and translate back the replies from Russian or any other Language to English .

2)Google Transliteration: This one does Transliteration work. which means if you know to speak some Language like Hindi,Malayam or some other Language but dont know to Read or Write then this Tool would be an asset for you. Using Transliteration you can type words in English but meaning them in Hindi like "Mera Bharat Mahan " --> "मेरा भारत महान" and so on . You can check this Tool on this URL This Transliteration Tool support For Indian Languages has been done in India : Google,Banglore. So this is the product to watch out for.

3)Google Audio Indexing/ GAUDI: This Audio Indexing Indexes Audio for certain Videos so that we can Search the exact Context or Wordings that may be used  in Speeches and  so on . The Google Search is moving a Step  Forward it seems. This Product though at intial Stages has indexed American Politicians Speeches (great thinking when it was time for US Presidential Elections :P ) 

URL for this Tool is : http://labs.google.com/gaudi 

There are many more Tools however These seemed Really Promising and Interesting given India as an Emerging Market Online. These Tools provide API so that Developers can develop Applications using these Tools. So,if next time you have a webpage that needs support for many Languages ,Simply using Google Translation API you have multilingual support without any extra Effort or Support Required. Just Reuse Google API's.

Now, there are few Ideas that I tinkered upon. But the Lack of Time and Experience is a big hinderance. Next Semester though, I might have a new Application Developed that would use these API's to the fullest.

So if I do get Time , you would see this Blog having Multi-Lingual Support for sure.. :) 

Do Comment about what Cool Products that you came across and do let me know if anyone is interested in developing Applications too.. 

Till then Enjoy Life..
