You can now use Google Now to dictate messages on WhatsApp


Google is rolling out an update to Google Now that will allow you to dictate and send messages through a number of popular third-party messaging apps including WhatsApp, the company announced in a blog post. WeChat, Viber, Telegram, and NextPlus are the other initial third-party services that Google Now will be able to send messages through. Simply say "Ok Google, send a WhatsApp message to Tom," and Google will render and send the message through the proper service.


The feature is currently only available in English, but Google says it will be adding more languages and more apps in the future. This is just the latest step in Google's attempt to turn Google Now into your true personal assistant, and it's a smart move. Google is consistently improving and adding features to Google Now, at a faster rate than Microsoft is with Cortana, and much faster than Apple has with Siri. At this rate, it won't be a competition for much longer.

Hear a PDF Instead of Reading It...

Hear a PDF Instead of Reading It Did you know you can listen to any PDF instead of reading it? It's possible with Adobe Reader 6.0+. Here's the short cut: CTRL+SHIFT+B : This allows you to hear the entire Document (or, you can use View—>Read Out Loud—>Read to the End of Document ). CTRL+SHIFT+V : This allows you to hear just the page you are viewing (or, you can use View—&GtRead Out Loud—>Read This Page ). If the voice is too fast, adjust the speed by going to Control Panel—>(in search box enter "SPEECH" and then click change text to speech setting)  —>Voice Speed—>Slow . You can listen to any PDF instead of reading with Adobe Reader 7.0 or 6.0, and the short cut is: Ctrl+shift+b - to hear the entire Document Ctrl+shift+v - to hear the page Ctrl+shift+c - to resume Ctrl+shift+e - to stop Open any PDF File and test.... its unbelievable..!
