"Alice" learned to read web pages aloud right in the search

The Alice voice assistant has received several new features in the search application, which expand the list of scenarios for its use. Here are the main innovations:

• "Alice" has learned to read pages aloud - she can read articles and recipes when your hands are full. It is enough to say "Alice, read the page."
• Alice also has quick access to frequently used functions: for example, you can listen to music and switch your favorite tracks right in the Alice window. There you can also call contacts from the phone book - for example, by the command "Alice, call mom." The assistant will specify right in the window which number to call if there are several.
• The interface of "Alice" in the application has also changed. Now it adapts to different content, changing its shape and leaving more usable space on the smartphone screen.
• Also, from the window with an assistant, you can quickly go to a chat with an assistant, to a smart camera, or see a complete list of skills.

New features are gradually becoming available on all devices with the Yandex search application.
