Google Adds 15 More African Languages on Voice Search as it Increases its Focus on the Continent

“The next decade is set to be Sub-Saharan Africa’s digital decade – with more than half the population accessing the Internet for the first time. Google’s mission is to organise the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful – and extending Voice Search, voice typing on Gboard and voice input on Translate to 300 million people across Africa is a key landmark in that,” Matt Brittin, President of Google in Europe, Middle East and Africa said.
