The voice search component was created to be used in our dictionaries but in combination with other language technologies it is becoming an effective tool for searching databases and texts in cases where voice input is a more comfortable solution than typing. This technology can also be combined with searching multimedia content, creating a system which is not only controlled by speech, but also uses speech as the input for searching.
It can combine speech recognition with full text search technologies, dictionary of synonyms or even a machine translator.
The result is a simple yet powerful search interface that is easy to use and provides results comparable to advanced search tools using written queries.
