This Free Extension Adds A Handy Voice Assistant To Google Chrome

“Anna Assistant”, once installed, can be simply summoned by saying ‘Hey’ followed by the command. I was a bit skeptical about its accuracy and performance initially, however, the extension works surprisingly well even if you speak softly. As of now, Anna supports a dozen actions. These include searching on Google, closing a tab, weather, opening websites and more. It functions in the background. Hence you won’t ever face pop-ups or any other sort of animation at all....

Newbie back, oldie front Seen from the back, the Vivo T1 is a very good-looking phone. We got the Rainbow Fantasy edition, and it definitely was head-turning material. The back is flat, smooth plastic. Some might turn their noses up at the reference to plastic, but the fact is most people would not be able to tell it apart from glass. Although it is basically blue, it gets into colour-shifting mode often, changing colours depending on the angle of light falling on it....

Goqii, for instance, came equipped with an OLED display and was more accurate than the Mi Band. The Mi Band 2 employs a design philosophy that is similar to the original Mi Band and thankfully the Mi Band 2 also employs a layer of Gorilla Glass just to ensure that the glass is sturdy enough and doesn’t pick up scratches easily....
