AFP – Have you got a tune lingering in your mind, its title just out of reach? You might want to explore this novel YouTube feature.
Currently in its testing phase, YouTube has introduced an innovative feature. Users of the Android app can now uncover song titles effortlessly by humming, singing, or even playing a snippet of recorded music, akin to the Shazam app.
To use this feature, users will simply have to click on voice search in YouTube and record themselves for at least three seconds. The technology will then be able to recognise the music and suggest official clips, as well as other user-created video content as well as Shorts, those short YouTube videos reminscent of the TikTok format. “This experience is rolling out to a small percentage of people across the globe who watch YouTube on Android devices,” reads the official blog.
While this option could make daily life easier for YouTube users, Google already offers this innovation via its voice control. By clicking on the microphone, the “Search a song” option appears, allowing you to hum or sing along to a piece of music in order to find the exact title. And the results are astonishing. It remains to be seen whether the option developed by YouTube will live up to that of its parent company.
