Google Chrome 11 adds speech-to-text feature

By Suzanne Choney

Google's increasingly popular Web browser, Chrome, now includes built-in speech-to-text translation with Chrome version 11, now available for download .
The tech giant has been busy fixing some bugs in Chrome, but also adding new features, with the speech-to-text ability the most exciting. As Google says on its Chrome blog , using the Web browser you can now:
... translate what you say into other languages with Google Translate. If you’re translating from English, just click on the microphone on the bottom right of the input box, speak your text, and choose the language you want to translate to. In fact, you can even click on the “Listen” feature to hear the translated words spoken back to you!
"You can talk to your bank's computer, so why not your own?" writes PC Magazine . "This is possible with the built-in speech recognition available on Windows and Mac machines, but Google's vision of making every app a Web app is now one step closer to reality with speech input HTML."
You won't see the microphone unless you've updated Chrome to 11. "No other current browser displays the microphone icon. In quick tests, the speech input worked perfectly, though it only accepts English."
Google also said it paid "a record $16,500 of rewards " to those who came up with fixes for various bugs in the Web browser.
Chrome, which competes with other Web browsers like Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Mozilla's Firefox and Apple's Safari, "surpassed" a 10 percent share of "global browser usage" for the first time in January, according to Net Applications .

Improve BroadBand Speed

I just found this article which discusses 3 important tips to significantly speed up your internet access through BSNL Dataone broadband connection / most other BroadBand connections like Reliance or Tata Indicom or Sify Broadband .

Tip 1:
 One of the major problems with BSNL Dataone Broadband connection is the DNS servers they provide by default. Most of the time they are very slow and sometimes they fail to respond. I noticed that I am starting to spend a significant amount of time in DNS resolution with Dataone connection, often it is larger than the time it takes to actually get the reponse. Here is a simple solution to significantly speed up your DNS resolution.
Open up the network connection profile and edit TCP/IP settings. In the DNS server address fields, specify the following DNS server addresses:

Google DNS :
8.8.8.8
8.8.8.4

Open DNS :
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

Disconnect the connection and then connect again. You are done.
This specifies third party DNS servers which are significantly faster than BSNL Dataone’s DNS servers.


Tip 2: 
Firefox users can use FlashBlock extension to prevent downloading of Flash content by default, thereby significantly speeding up browsing experience. You can click on the placeholder icon to display the original Flash content any time. This is more of a passive tip in that reduces data usage to improve your overall experience.

Tip 3:
You can try to increase your broadband bandwidth tweaking the TCP/IP parameters. The process is simplified by using TCPOptimizer, a free tool. It helped me a lot but your mileage may vary.

Also, there's nice little tweak for XP. Microsoft reserve 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes. This also affects your Broadband peformance. You can get back this 20% as follows:
Click Start-->Run-->type "gpedit.msc" without the "
This opens the group policy editor. Then go to:
Local Computer Policy-->Computer Configuration-->Administrative Templates-->Network-->QOS Packet Scheduler-->
Limit Reservable Bandwidth
Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the 'Explain' tab :
How to easily speed up your BSNL BroadBand Connection
"By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this
setting to override the default."
So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO.
This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20%.

In Vista and windows 7

Through the Group Policy Object Editor

NOTE: This method is only available for the Vista Business, Ultimate, and Enterprise editions. See Method Two or Method Three below for the Vista Home Basic and Home Premium editions.
1. Open the Local Group Policy Editor.

2. In the left pane, click on Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, and Network, QoS Packet Scheduler.
(See screenshot below)

3. In the right pane, right click on Limit reservable bandwidth and click on Properties. (See screenshot above)

4. For Default Reserved Bandwidth
A) Dot Disabled or Not Configured and click on OK. (See screenshot below step 5B)
NOTE: If you disable this setting or do not configure it, the system uses the default value of 20 percent of the connection.
5. To Change the Reserved Bandwidth
A) Dot Enabled.

B) Next to Bandwidth Limit (%), type in a percentage to use from 0 to 100 and click on OK.
NOTE: If you change the percentage to 0, then this will disable the reserved bandwidth.

6. Close the Group Policy Object Editor window.

7. Restart the computer to apply changes.

Troubleshooting Slow Internet Connections

Tips for Troubleshooting Slow Internet Connections

This checklist describes common causes for slow Internet connections. A poor-performing connection can be caused by broadband router configuration issues, wireless interference, or any of several other technical issues with your home network. Follow these steps to diagnose slow Internet connections.

1. Broadband Router Settings
As the centerpiece of a network, a broadband router can be responsible for slow Internet connections if configured improperly. For example, the MTU setting of your router will lead to performance issues if set too high or too low. Ensure your router's settings are all consistent with the manufacturer's and your Internet Service Provider (ISP)recommendations. Carefully record any changes you make to your router's configuration so that you can undo them later if necessary.

2. Wireless Signal Interference
Wi-Fi and other types of wireless connections may perform poorly due to signal interference, which requires computers to continually resend messages to overcome signal issues. Household appliances and even your neighbors' wireless networks can interfere with your computers. To avoid slow Internet connections due to signal interference,reposition your router for better performance and change your Wi-Fi channel number.

3. Internet Worms
An Internet worm is a malicious software program that spreads through computer networks. If any of your computers are infected by an Internet worm, they may begin spontaneously generating network traffic without your knowledge, causing your Internet connection to appear slow. Run antivirus software regularly to diagnose and remove these worms from your computers.

4. Running Background Applications
Some software applications you install on a computer run in the background, quietly consuming network resources. Unlike worms, these are programs designed to do useful work. Peer to peer (P2P) programs in particular can heavily utilize your network and cause connections to appear slow. It's easy to forget these applications are running. Always check computers for any programs running in the background when troubleshooting a slow network.

5. Faulty Network Equipment
When routers, modems or cables fail, they typically won't support connections. Certain technical glitches in network equipment, however, adversely affect performance even though connections are maintained. To troubleshoot potentially faulty equipment, temporarily re-arrange and re-configure your gear while experimenting with different configurations. Try bypassing the router, swapping cables and changing network adaptersto isolate the slow performance to a specific component of the system.

6. Service Provider Issues
Internet speed ultimately depends on the service provider. Your ISP may change their network's configuration, or suffer technical difficulties, that inadvertently cause your Internet connection to run slow. ISPs may also intentionally install filters or controls on the network that can lower your performance. Don't hesitate to contact your service provider if you suspect they are responsible for a slow Internet connection.
