Hey, guys! I'm Bill from GCFLearnFree.org

00:00:03.180 --> 00:00:07.320
and today I just want to show you a cool thing you might not know about your smartphone.

00:00:07.340 --> 00:00:09.040
Has this ever happened to you?

00:00:09.085 --> 00:00:14.365
You're out somewhere and you hear a song you really like, but you have no idea what it is?

00:00:14.365 --> 00:00:18.005
Well, your phone may actually be able to tell you.

00:00:18.005 --> 00:00:21.360
For example, let's take the song we're listening to right now.

00:00:21.360 --> 00:00:23.540
[MUSIC]

00:00:23.540 --> 00:00:24.540
Yeah....

00:00:24.540 --> 00:00:28.520
Pretty good, right? But I have no idea what it is.

00:00:28.520 --> 00:00:34.212
If you have an iPhone,you can actually ask Siri to tell you what song is currently playing.

00:00:36.220 --> 00:00:37.260
Hey, Siri.

00:00:37.260 --> 00:00:38.740
What song is this?

00:00:46.180 --> 00:00:49.620
Siri: "I can name that tune. I think it's 'Shangri-La' by YACHT"

00:00:49.620 --> 00:00:51.900
Yeah! Alright, there we go.

00:00:51.900 --> 00:00:55.277
Now you can do the same thing with any Android phone that uses Google Now.

00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:59.460
You should just be able to say, "OK, Google. What song is this?"

00:00:59.469 --> 00:01:03.624
Now, if you don't like searching this way, there are also apps like Shazam and SoundHound

00:01:03.624 --> 00:01:05.043
that can tell you the same thing.

00:01:05.043 --> 00:01:07.215
Let's take a look at how they work.

00:01:07.215 --> 00:01:11.955
To get started, just search for Shazam or SoundHound on your phone's app store.

00:01:11.960 --> 00:01:17.820
Once the app is installed, just open it whenever there's a song playing that you want to know more about,

00:01:17.820 --> 00:01:20.760
Tap the button...

00:01:20.760 --> 00:01:21.960
And,there you go!

00:01:21.960 --> 00:01:24.320
OK! That's all we've got!

00:01:24.320 --> 00:01:29.080
I hope this video has been helpful, and the next time you're trying to figure out what song is playing

00:01:29.080 --> 00:01:31.020
try using your smartphone!

00:01:31.020 --> 00:01:31.800
Later!
