There’s no denying the holidays really are the most wonderful time of the year. But the month of December also means crunch time. That’s why Google has conveniently debuted a handful of new Google Assistant features to help your spirts up. But don’t worry, they can also be used all-year round.
There’s no denying the holidays really are the most wonderful time of the year. But the month of December also means crunch time — whether that’s buying last minute gifts or squeezing in time for both family and friends. That’s why Google has conveniently unveiled a handful of new Google Assistant features to help keep you going through the holidays, though they could prove useful all-year round.
For starters, you can now turn any Smart Display into a karaoke machine with the visual lyrics feature. As long as you have a Google Play Music subscription, all you need to do is ask the Assistant to play any song of your choice and the lyrics will appear on the screen in sync with the music.
At Google’s event in New York City, we got to see the feature in-person. We simply said, “Hey Google, play Jingle Bells,” to the Home Hub and lyrics appeared on the display as the music played. The visual lyrics feature is available for select songs now — all of which are language appropriate for children.
