Google’s Android app is getting ready to remember all those songs you couldn’t (APK teardown)

Google is enhancing its Android app's song identification feature with a new audio search tool that currently lacks a history of past searches. An APK teardown indicates that a search log is in development, allowing users to revisit previously identified songs. The latest beta build of the Google app, version 16.5.33.sa.arm64, includes text strings suggesting the implementation of a search history, featuring identifiers for artist names, track details, images, and timestamps. While the interface for this search history is still in early stages, a history icon has been added to the search screen, indicating a potential Recent song searches view. Users can expect a design similar to the existing Now Playing history, displaying essential song information, album artwork, and timestamps.

Windows 11 Search might soon no longer suck so much… and it could be thanks to AI

Windows Search in Windows 11 has faced criticism for its performance, prompting Microsoft to work on enhancements using artificial intelligence (AI). Reports indicate that the improvements will allow users to search through audio and video files more effectively, including a feature for searching spoken words within indexed media. This functionality will involve transcribing content, making transcripts searchable, and indexing them for efficient searching. The feature is in development and may require users to have the latest hardware, including a neural processing unit (NPU). It is expected to utilize on-device AI to address privacy concerns by processing data locally.

Users will also be able to sing or hum songs to perform searches, similar to existing features in the Google app and YouTube Music. Additionally, there may be a quick informational bubble when opening Circle to Search, and Google is planning to introduce split-screen support for this function on Pixel devices.
