Google Chrome 11 Beta:You Will Have The Ability To Talk To Your Browser


Google Chrome 11 is now available in beta, the UI is almost the same except the new Chrome icon, but there are lot of awesome features available .

One of the new features is added support for the HTML5 speech input API. This means that you’ll be able to talk to your computer and Chrome can interpret it. Those who have become accustomed to doing this on Android and other mobile devices will love this. More importantly, it’s an HTML5 spec that any developer will be able to take advantage of, not just Google.


If you’re running Chrome 11, you can try it out here. It works very well. You speak, and the browser is able to transcribe what you say. No Flash, no plug-in. Yep. Awesome.

The Chrome 11 beta also bring an initial take on GPU-accelerated 3D CSS, Google notes. This means that developers will also be able to create websites with 3D effects using CSS shortly. Again, very cool.

  2. Even I didn't like it but according to Google the new simpler icon embodies the "Chrome spirit" i.e, to make the web quicker, lighter and easier for all. This simplicity in the icon even means that you can recreate the new icon easily compared to the earlier icon.
