A Novel “Hum-to-Search” Feature Under Testing on Android by YouTube
Google is currently in the process of testing a fresh feature on YouTube, allowing users to hum or record snippets of songs for search purposes.
For those involved in the YouTube feature trial, the ability to hum or record at least three seconds of a song has been introduced, enabling Google to attempt song identification. Once the song is recognized, YouTube will present pertinent content related to that particular song. Essentially, this mirrors Google's distinctive approach to Shazam, a service owned by Apple.
However, the experimental phase won't be accessible to everyone initially. Google has specified that it's being gradually rolled out to "a small portion of individuals around the world who use Android devices to access YouTube."
This feature isn't entirely novel for Goog...
