'While photo capture and digital image storage technology has improved substantially over the past decade, traditional approaches to photo-tagging can be non-intuitive, arduous, and time-consuming. Voice-based photo-tagging dramatically increases the speed and convenience of photo-tagging.' The patent application was filed back in March and published by the US Patent and Trademark Office on Boxing Day. There is no guarantee that the technology will ever be developed, but it would seem like a natural extension of Apple's iPhoto app, which was recently updated to support sorting based on date and location.
Type To Siri Mac
Last week it was reported that rival tech giants Google and Apple are both in their respective voice-controlled personal assistants, Google Now and Siri, and the field is expected to be a major battleground for their mobile operating systems, Android and iOS. Google has said its goal is to create a service comparable to the computer of the Starship Enterprise in Star Trek that will become a new way to interact with the web and myriad other apps. Scott Huffman, the Google engineering director leading the effort, said the company had a headstart on its competition because the way it calculates the rankings of search results give its systems an understanding of the meaning of how language is used in the real world.
Meanwhile, Apple has paid more than $200m (£122m) to acquire Topsy, a start-up focused on finding patterns in the 500m tweets posted on Twitter every day. Observers, including Nick Halstead, chief executive of Topsy’s British rival DataSift, have speculated that Apple will use the language analysis technology to improve Siri’s understanding of queries.
A new patent application published by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and spotted by Apple Insider, suggests the company has at least considered how a version of Siri for Mac might.
