OK Google! Let's make a review!

Hello everyone!
How about implementing the Google Personal Assistant in a way that facilitates the inclusion of reviews in Google Maps? It could benefit all LocalGuides in the first place and, above all, would give a non negligible help to review even people with visual or cognitive disabilities, making the whole process much easier (I'm thinking of my dear friend Fabio, blind but with enviable energy!)
Here in detail my idea explained with a "field test":

 

> Ok Google! Let's make a review!
google ai.gif Ok davidhyno! From the chronology I saw that you visited these places in the last week:
-Restaurant From the Jealous
-Bar At the Corner
-Pittarello shop Clothing and shoes
-Pizzeria La Cascina
google ai.gifFor whom do you want to leave the review?
> Pizzeria La Cascina
 google ai.gifGood! How many stars do you want to leave at Pizzeria La Cascina?
> Four stars!
 google ai.gifDone! Do you want to dictate your review now?
> Yes!
 google ai.gifWell! Then start after the bip! When you're done, leave a three-second break to finish the review!
BEEP
> The parking is very large with four seats for disabled people. The entry without steps is easy even for those in wheelchairs and there are tables dedicated with the right height. The staff is friendly and the wait is not excessive. The menu have a wide selection of pizzas, first and second courses of both meat and fish. I ate a very good steak with porcini mushrooms while the wife took an equally good pizza with bresaola and fresh mushrooms! Prices are lower than average and you do not pay the covered! One annoying thing, however, that you immediately notice is the problem of music too high, it is difficult to follow the speeches of those sitting at the same table. Only negative note for the bathroom that has the door with the broken lock and among other things the towel paper was then exhausted. I pointed this out to the staff and they confirmed that they will take note. #localguides #letsguide #migliortagliata # menùconveniente #Vicenzabestpizza "
google ai.gif Well, here is the transcript of your review. Do you want to make corrections or is it okay?
> It's okay!
 google ai.gifDone! I saw that on Google Photos there are three photos taken on the same day and in the same place: do you want to check them for a possible inclusion in the review?
> Yes, of course!
 google ai.gifHere they are: we have the photo n ° 1, n ° 2 and n ° 3. Which photos do you want to insert in the review?
> All!
 google ai.gifDone! Do you want to add a caption to the photos too?
> Yes! Photo n ° 1 add "Tagliata con porcini"
> Photo n ° 2 add "Pizza with bresaola and fresh mushrooms"

 google ai.gifDone! When you have finished repeat "Finish" and your review will be published on Google Maps!
> Finish!
 google ai.gifCongratulations! Your review has been published! See you next time!

 

 

What do you think about it ?

Bye,

David

Hi @davidhyno,

 

Thank you for providing your insights.

 

It would be really convenient for the Local Guides to leave reviews. : ]

I think this is a great idea, @davidhyno

Could even be done via a Google Home speaker and the review text (if it's long) sent to your mobile for approval.

Very Unique & very useful suggestion, dear @davidhyno; hope to see this implemented, at the earliest.

To me, it will be convenient, even for the "Driving" LGs and many others who find it difficult to type.

Thanks for publishing this.

Hi friends!

I'm sure that after a proper beta-testing this feature greatly simplifies the way to review to LocalGuides! Hope to see this idea active as soon as possible!

Thanks again for your support!
