Good news if you're a fan of being constantly corrected by technology about everything you've been doing wrong your entire life: Google will now be able to to tell you what words you've been mispronouncing.
Best of all, it's pretty easy to do so. Simply go to Google on your phone or computer, type, "How do you pronounce [word]" in the search bar, and click. Google will provide you with an audio clip of that word's correct pronunciation.
Where is Google getting its pronunciations from? The Oxford English Dictionary? Webster's? It's not listed, so we reached out to Google for additional information.
There's another feature, too. According to Google, when you make the above search, if your phone is Google Assistant-enabled, you can speak the word into your phone's microphone and "receive feedback on what, if anything, can be adjusted in your pronunciation."
SEE ALSO:Traveling abroad? Google Maps can now talk to your taxi driver for you.Putting aside ongoing concerns about what various AI assistants are recording, it's a pretty interesting feature that uses machine learning to cross reference "your pronunciation with the pronunciation it expects." It can then, apparently, tell you which syllable you're messing up and how you can fix it.
This feature is already available in "American English" and will soon also roll out in Spanish.
