Google Now just got smarter. Namely, Google introduced the new text and voice function Now on Tap, which allows the personal assistant on Android to examine everything that is happening on the screen and automatically take appropriate actions. Putting this into practice: Now on Tap will constantly collect information about the email we read, the news, the music we listen to, and it will even remember the route we drove. Then, with the help of the collected information, it will do us a favor – it will play us music, tell us what the weather will be like, reserve a free seat for us on the subway or in a restaurant, etc.
Google's Now on Tap is a true mind reader and companion who will use his digital eyes for constant collecting information about our activities on smartphones. It will then use these to anticipate our needs. Only Google Now gives us useful information, such as reminders to go to a meeting, Now on Tap will go one step further - it will collect the information that fits the moment and based on what we do or perhaps think. As a real assistant, it will be available just by long pressing the "Home" button. Speech recognition, which should be even more accurate than it has been so far, and web searches (watch out, Siri!), which should now be shorter and more direct with the help of Now on Tap, should also be honed extremely well.

Now on Tap will be available with a software update to the operating system Android M, which will be available in late 2015. The feature was introduced at the annual developer conference Google I/O 2015.
