Google Chrome Can Now Talk Back to You. You can now talk to your computer, kind of like you would a person — that is, if you're running Google's Chrome browser . The conversational search abilities that Google showed off last week at its I/O developer conference are now live. Although Chrome's voice search , which allows users to search for things just by speaking, has been around for a while, the update now lets your computer speak back to you. For example, if you asked, "Who is the prime minister of Canada?
", Chrome will say out loud, "The prime minister of Canada is Stephen Harper. " In theory, conversational search also lets you ask natural-language follow-up questions to Chrome such as, "Where does he live? " or "What year did he take office? " In practice, though, it's not nearly this seamless. The same is true today. However, for single-question searches that have clear right answers, conversational search works pretty well.
