Google on 14 August launched voice search support for eight
additional languages spoken in India, allowing people to use their voice
to dictate queries both in Gboard on Android and in Search through the
Google App.
The languages are Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam,
Marathi, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu. In order to perform a voice-based
search, users will need to set their language in the "Voice" settings
menu in Google app, the company said in a statement.
The new language support will also enhance voice typing on Gboard, helping users to respond to emails on the go and send texts within messaging apps. To enable "Voice Typing", users can install Gboard from the Play Store and choose their language from the "Settings". Then all it takes is tapping the microphone to start speaking.
Voice search in these new languages will be available in Google Search on iOS as well. These new languages will also be made available in the "Cloud Speech API" and will soon be extended to other Google apps and products, including the "Translate" app.

and better serve the needs of new users coming online. Google's speech
recognition now supports 119 languages in Gboard on Android, Voice
Search and more.
