当您与团队合作时,保持一致是最重要的。因此(Hence),沟通是团队合作最重要的方面。在所有可用的数字通信方式中,我们将在这篇文章中发现一种非常规的方式。谈到短距离数据传输,有很多常见的选项可用。它们包括蓝牙(Bluetooth)、红外线(Infrared)、Wi-Fi等等。虽然其中大多数依赖于一些额外的硬件,但还有另一种传输模式可以通过一对麦克风和免提电话发生。Google Tone是使用音频传输文本和(Google Tone)URL(URLs)等小信息的应用程序的一个很好的示例。这是一个免费的Chrome 扩展程序(Chrome extension),可让您在音频的帮助下与附近的计算机共享URL 。(URLs)该扩展程序播放音频,附近的计算机可以录制该音频以访问发送的URL。
适用于 Chrome 浏览器的 Google Tone
Tone 可以使用您计算机的扬声器将任何URL广播到附近的计算机。同时,它还可以收听来自其他 Tone 用户的任何传入消息。
每当您想与周围的人快速共享URL时,该扩展都会非常方便。(URL)在需要与观众共享URL的演示或演示时,可以使用音调。(Tone)Tone还不能将信息发送到手机,但我们相信它很快就会可用。目前,您只能将URL(URLs)广播到附近安装了Google Chrome的(Google Chrome)Tone扩展程序的计算机。
使用扩展很简单。只需从(Just)Chrome 网上应用店(Chrome Web Store)安装扩展程序,然后等待地址栏旁边出现蓝色扬声器图标。一旦它在那里,您可以点击该图标与附近的计算机共享浏览器中的URL 。请记住(Remember),要让 Google Tone(Google Tone)正常工作;您必须禁用或断开任何耳机或耳机。点击按钮后,您将能够听到计算机中嵌入了URL的音频。(URL)建议在背景噪音较少时使用此扩展程序。
此外,如果Google Tone成功发送URL,蓝色扬声器图标将变为绿色,否则将变为红色。为了正常运行,应启用麦克风,并且Google Tone应该能够听到自己的声音。
在接收方,您将能够看到一个URL已被广播的小通知。您可以点击打开此通知,您将被重定向到通过音频发送的URL 。该扩展程序不会自动为您打开URL,从而保护您免受任何可以通过音频发送的恶意链接的侵害。
谈到安全性(security),您发送的URL(URLs)是完全公开的。任何收听音频的人都可以在他/她的计算机上打开该URL 。因此,请确保您不要使用Google Tone发送任何机密信息。
URL(URLs)是共享的,就像它们在基于文本的媒体中一样。不会传输会话信息或保存的凭据,仅在音频中共享纯文本URL 。
Google Tone是一个很好的扩展,它充分利用了技术。此外,当您使用音频发送内容时,就像您说话的方式一样。音频不能穿透墙壁,音量可以调节以达到合适的人数。目前,Google Tone仅支持URL共享,但我们预计很快会有更多功能。在印度(India)的UPI应用程序Google Tez中可以观察到该技术的类似实现,它允许您使用音频向附近的用户付款。单击(Click)此处(here)(here)获取 Google Tone。
Broadcast URLs to nearby computers using Google Tone.
When you are working with a team, beіng on the same page is most important. Hence communication is the most important aspect of teamwork. Out of all means of digital сommunicatіon available, we are going to discover an unconventional one in thіs post. Talking about short distance data transfer, there are quite a few common оptions available. They inсlude Bluetooth, Infrared, Wi-Fi and a few more. Whіle most оf these rely on some extra hardware, there is one more modе of transfer that can happen over a pair of microphone and speakerphone. Google Tone is a very good example of an application using audio for transferring small information such as text and URLs. It is a free Chrome extension that lets you share URLs with nearby computers with help of audio. The extension plays an audio which can be recorded by nearby computers to access the URL sent.
Google Tone for Chrome browser
Tone can broadcast any URL to nearby computers using your computer’s speakers. At the same time, it can also listen to any incoming messages from other Tone users.
The extension comes very handy whenever you want to share a URL quickly with people around you. Tone can be used while delivering a presentation or a demo where sharing the URL with the audience is necessary. Tone cannot send information to phones yet, but we believe it will be available soon. For now, you can broadcast URLs only to nearby computers having Tone extension installed on Google Chrome.
Using the extension is simple enough. Just install the extension from Chrome Web Store and wait till the blue speakerphone icon appears beside the address bar. Once it is there, you can hit that icon to share the URL from your browser with nearby computers. Remember that for Google Tone to work; you must have disabled or disconnected any headphones or earphones. Once you hit the button, you will be able to hear audio from your computer which has the URL embedded in it. It is advised to use this extension when there is less background noise.
Also, if Google Tone was successful in sending the URL, the blue speaker icon will turn green else it will turn red. For proper functioning, the microphone should be enabled, and Google Tone should be able to hear itself.
On the receiver side, you will be able to see a small notification that a URL has been broadcasted. You can click open this notification, and you will be redirected to the URL sent via the audio. The extension will not automatically open the URL for you so that you are protected against any malicious links that can be sent over audio.
Talking about the security, the URLs you sent are totally public. Anyone listening to the audio can open that URL on his/her computer. So, make sure you don’t send anything confidential using Google Tone.
The URLs are shared as they would have been in a text-based medium. No session information or saved credentials are transferred, just the plain text URL is shared in the audio.
Google Tone is one great extension that uses technology at its best. Also, when you send something using the audio, it is like the way you talk. The audio cannot penetrate walls, and the volume can be adjusted to reach an apt number of people. For now, Google Tone only supports URL sharing, but we expect more features soon. A similar implementation of this technology can be observed in Google Tez, a UPI application in India that lets you pay to nearby users using audio. Click here to get Google Tone.
