Kelly Grivner-Kelly: Building a career as a military spouse

As a military spouse, Kelly moved 5 times over 6 years, which made it difficult to build a long-term career despite her education and work experience. This changed when she found a job as a program manager where she can work from home–and stay on remotely after her next move.

Google is offering tools and resources to help military spouses build meaningful careers, wherever they are. To learn more visit https://grow.google/military-community

Parenting 1:01: A Moment in Search

Parents don’t get an instruction manual. So it’s only natural for them to have a lot of questions, from the tactical (“how to help my baby crawl”) to the deeply personal (“how to know if my child is making friends”). In fact, Google Trends data reveals that every night around 1am, searches for “how to help my child” peak. It’s a question that doesn’t age. 

Here’s to all the parents whose concerns for their kids last a lifetime.

Live Caption: Making digital media more accessible with a single tap

In 2009, Google added automatic captions to videos on YouTube, taking a step towards making videos universally accessible. But what about stuff that isn’t on YouTube? Stuff like video messages, social media, podcasts, and audio messages?

We worked with the Deaf community to develop Live Caption. With a single tap, Live Caption will automatically caption media on your phone. As soon as speech is detected, captions will appear, all without opening another app, without ever needing wifi or cell phone data, and without anything leaving your phone.

Coming later this year.
