Yahoo Unveils Voice-Enabled Search For S60 Devices
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.
Key Features Include:
- Wide-open voice-enabled mobile search – Speak anything and get relevant results returned through oneSearch.
- Personalizes to your voice – Voice-enabled Yahoo! oneSearch adapts to your voice the more you use it.
- Multi-modal input – Allows users to switch between speaking and typing at any time, enabling consumers easy access to refine queries.
