Tez is rebranded to Google Pay as Google unifies its payment services

The last three verticals, the company hopes, will shape the future of India’s internet as well as boost advertising business. These new users largely use video and audio content on the internet. Furthermore, online video now accounts for 75% of all mobile traffic. There are numerous other apps available to do this – including the Indian government’s own UPI app, digital wallet Paytm, and WhatsApp’s built-in system for peer-to-peer payments (but WhatsApp is facing trouble getting it off the ground).

Aside from Hindi and English, the tech giant has plans of introducing eight new languages to Google Search and Google Assistant starting with Marathi.

Navlekha is a platform that will help address all these issues, including copying text in a vernacular language from a PDF file.

The publishers will also be provided with the free web hosting with AdSense support to the regional publishers which will enable them to monetise their content immediately. “The more content you have, the more people will access it, creating a scope for advertisements to be placed and revenue to be earned”.

Google is starting Navlekha to support publishers in India, and help bring more Indian languages content online.

But the company isn’t stopping there. The images above show how users can switch between English and Hindi tabs.

The Google Pay App: Google’s Tez app introduced previous year, has been rebranded as Google Pay. Besides this, Google has partnered with third parties such as Airtel, Where is My Train & Hello English for the service. Fret not, though, as this doesn’t mean the pre-Google Pay confusion will be back.

Today, Google launches their new light version of search and the name of the app is Go, which can read virtually any of the website of your choice just for you.

Through its Google for India 2018 event held on Tuesday, Google reiterated its focus on users in India.

While Google Pay can be used at any outlets which accept UPI payments, Google will also strengthen its market presence by making payment service available at more than 15,000 stores. So, if someone in a rural part of Tamil Nadu wants to access Google search and News in Tamil, he or she would also want content that is relevant to his/her locality or proximity.

The company has also partnered with RedBus to offer better public transport information on Maps. Google says the read-out-loud feature is powered by artificial intelligence, in order to pick out the important bits from a webpage or article. These are just a few things we’re working on to make sure that Indians have a great experience online, no matter what phone they’re on or what language they speak.
