Yahoo! has announced the availability of Yahoo! oneSearch with voice to consumers in the UK, allowing mobile users to initiate searches using their voice. With Yahoo! oneSearch with voice, consumers can search for anything simply by speaking.
Yahoo! gives an example of a search on Arsenal, which it says will return a rich set of results highlighting the latest results and schedules, breaking news, team profiles, images, and web links. Yahoo! notes also, in case you hadnt realised, that voice- enabled mobile search enables users to conduct searches more quickly than entering text.
The company adds that, with continued usage, Yahoo! oneSearch with voice will adapt to the users intonations and accent, providing increasingly fine-tuned results as the product is used. When using the application, users can switch between speaking and typing at any time, if they wish to refine a search query.
Yahoo! oneSearch offers mobile consumers a compelling search experience, delivering answers and relevant results tailored to the unique attributes of the mobile experience, says Mitch Lazar, managing director of Connected Life, Yahoo! Europe With todays launch of Yahoo! oneSearch with voice, we are delivering the next generation of mobile search technology, making it easier and quicker for users to discover, initiate and input search queries.
Yahoo! oneSearch with voice is available from today and can be downloaded for free from http://uk.m.yahoo.com on compatible mobile devices. The solution is available through a downloadable application for select Blackberry devices including the 8800 series, the Curve and the Pearl. It is integrated into a Yahoo! oneSearch shortcut for Nokia devices. Once installed on a Nokia Series 60 device, it only takes one click on the phones screen to initiate a search. The product also includes Search Assist, enabling spelling suggestions and real-time related concepts for more refined search results.  Yahoo! oneSearch with voice has also been integrated into Yahoo! Go 3.0, Yahoo!s all-in-one mobile offering.
Over the coming months, Yahoo! says that oneSearch with voice is expected to support additional devices, languages and become available in additional countries.
