Google has established a two-story booth outside the convention center in Las Vegas to showcase its Google Assistant. The visitors have issued voice commands while moving through the home kitchen and the market.
Google has not made many changes at this CES when compared to last year. The company hired several people to explain the features of its Voice Assistant to the guests. They just say Hey Google to awake the voice assistant. This year Google has added a screen reading feature to the voice assistant. It can read the blog posts and articles in a natural-sounding language loudly. Google said it is a preview. It did not allow the reporters to try the feature themselves.
