For Android Lollipop App making visit here

Google updated its Android app on Wednesday with more personal touch assisting features like enhanced search, better reminders and a new coin-flip to help you make snap decisions. Whether it's making dinner reservations or figuring out where your car is parked, Google's flagship app has been getting better and better at anticipating what information you'll need before you ask.

Google already surfaced reminders based on the contents of your email and calendar, but the latest update improves reminders for events — even if they aren't on your calendar. For example, if someone has emailed you to make plans, but you haven't added it to your calendar, Google will surface a Google Now card asking if you want to keep tabs on the event.

The app also tracks upcoming trips, bills and to-dos, while other day-to-day info and will display relevant updates, such as a reminder to pay a bill or a notification telling you where your car is parked.The app also helps enable making simple "coin-flip" decisions by flipping a virtual coin when you say "OK Google, flip a coin."

The app's search abilities have also been improved, so users can now search other apps from within the main Google app. For example, you can say, “OK, Google, search Tumblr for ‘Game of Thrones memes,'" and Google will launch the Tumblr app with the relevant search results. 

Google Gesture App Translates Sign Language into Audible Words

There is a new app in development that will help people understand sign language in real time.

Students of Berghs School of Communication in Stockholm, Sweden are working with Google to develop this app that will translate sign language into speech. The team also won an award for the creativity of their work at Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.

This Google Gesture app is paired with a band worn on the forearm that analyzes muscle movements made when signing and those movements are then sent to the app and then it is translated to audible words.

Sometimes due to inability to understand sign language people miss lot of interesting and important conversation. Have a look at this videa of Google Gesture App.



Google's goal for this app is to fix the problem by translating sign language the correct way and to produce out the audible words as result in conversation.

But still release date of the app has not been in the lime light. So lets wait for this useful app for the people.
