The Simplest Way To Search
Voice Search For oneSearch and Yahoo Go 3.0
Yahoo has integrated a voice-enabled search engine into its oneSearch application on Nokia Series 60 devices and Yahoo Go 3.0. It’s fast and easy to search for anything you need when you're mobile!
Once the new version of oneSearch is installed, users can access the voice-enabled search with a single click from their home screen. To make that possible, Yahoo! is partnering with vlingo, a leading speech-recognition company.
Users will also have to re-install the latest version of Yahoo Go 3.0 to get access to the new enhancements, which are initially being made available in the U.S., UK, India, Singapore, Philippines and Canada.
With the voice-enabled version of Yahoo! oneSearch and Yahoo Go consumers can search for anything, including flight numbers, locations, Web site names, local restaurants, and more, by simply speaking.
For example, a search query like "N-C-Double-A" instantly returns a rich set of results highlighting the latest tournament scores, upcoming game times, and breaking news. Whereas most mobile voice recognition systems are specific to vertical categories such as local listings, Yahoo! oneSearch with Voice lets consumers perform "wide open" searches - returning relevant results for practically every kind of query.
Consumers do not need to follow prompts and think about how to say a mobile search; with Yahoo! oneSearch they simply speak whatever they are looking for and have access to instant answers.
