<\/p>\n
The eight new Indian languages include Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, Malayalam and Urdu. Prior to this, Google\u2019s voice search supported only Hindi language in India, reports ndiatimes.com on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are introducing support for 30 new languages today (on Monday), of which eight are Indian languages. Globally, we now support voice search for 119 languages,\u201d Google Technical program manager Daan van Esch told reporters in a press briefing.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Starting on Monday, these new languages will also be made available in Google\u2019s Cloud Speech API, that enables developers to convert audio to text. It will be soon extended to other Google apps and products including Google Translate, the company said.<\/p>\n
