Twitter, Google Partner to Create Speak-to-Tweet Technology for Egypt
Google and Twitter partnered over the weekend to provide Egyptians a workaround for accessing tweets without an internet connection. In light of the Egyptian government shutting down first Twitter and then the entire internet within the country, Google and Twitter developed a speak-to-tweet service.
Announced on the Official Google Blog Monday, this new technology will allow anyone to access tweets with just a voice connection – which many Egyptians still have.
The blog explains that engineers from Twitter, Google, and Google’s recently acquired SpeakNow worked together to create this new technology.
