Users can hum to recognize songs in a search feature that YouTube is developing.
27 August, Los Angeles [US]: For Android users who enjoy listening to music, there is excellent news. Users can hum to recognize songs in a search feature that YouTube is developing.
YouTube is testing a search-by-song feature on the Android app that enables users to identify a song on YouTube by humming, singing, or recording a song, as stated on the video-sharing platform’s support website, according to TechCrunch.
Users with access to the experiment can switch between the new song search function and YouTube voice search while humming, singing, or recording a song for three or more seconds.
The technology then recognizes the song and sends the user to pertinent YouTube videos that contain the song they were searching for, whether they be the official music video, user-generated content, or Shorts.
Only a limited percentage of Android users have access to the search by song feature.
Google has had a hum-to-search option in the Google app and Google Assistant since 2020, so this capability isn’t entirely new to the company. (ANI)
