Everyone knows about Gmail, Google Maps, Google Glass, etc. But there are many little-known Google products and services which are incredible useful and makes your digital life easier.
Did you know that you can use a timer in Google search or the Keep app?
Here are some of the not-so-known services from Google.
1) Google Keep
Google Keep is a very good notes and reminder app that works across both desktops and smartphones (both Android and iOS). Google Keep is a syncing notepad that connects to Google Drive. It also supports photo notes, voice notes, and checklists. Speak a voice memo on the go and have it automatically transcribed. Grab a photo of a poster, receipt or document and easily organize or find it later in search. Google Keep makes it easy to capture a thought or list for yourself, and share it with friends and family.
2) Google Timer
You can set a timer on Google by just typing “five minute timer” or whatever time you need. Just click start and your timer is on. You can get an alarm to sound when time is up.
3) Google Books Ngram Viewer
Google Books Ngram Viewer is a fun tool that lets you search for words in more than 5 million books published between 1500 and 2008 so you can see how they've been used and changed over time.
4) Reading numbers
Intimidated by huge numbers? Google will help you figure out how to pronounce that 12-string behemoth if you type "=english" after it.
5) Google Input Tools
This tool lets you type in over 80 different languages without having to download a special keyboard. With Google Input Tools you can type on the Web in any language of your choice. You can even add words to a custom dictionary for future use. The service works offline and has a Chrome extension, Android app, and a Windows program that you can install.
6) Google.com/sky
This interesting service lets you explore the far reaches of the universe using images from NASA satellites, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, and the Hubble Telescope.
7) Google Art Project
Google Art Project is an online platform through which the public can access high-resolution images of artworks housed in the initiative's partner museums.
