News: Google Search Engine Speech Application Developed
Kiev, Ukraine - (Website Hosting Directory) - October 29, 2008 - Search engine, Google, can now be accessed utilizing the voice, according to developers from the Ukraine, who started with an Internet Explorer toolbar application to develop the new speech search solution.
VoiceSearchBar.com was released as a free toolbar for Internet Explorer browser which enables speech recognition for the Google Search Engine. This is the first program which allows users to search the web using a voice.
The program will be installed as an add-on for Internet Explorer (versions for other browsers are not developed yet). When the program is installed, users will be able to enter a search phrase using their voice. After saying the voice command 'search' or clicking on the search button, they will be redirected to the www.voicesearchbar.com website, where they will see search results from Google's search engine.
Authors of the program recommend launching the training mode to enhance the quality of speech recognition. After 3-4 launches of a training mode program, it recognizes speech fairly well.
The program is dedicated to Bill Gates and his belief in speech recognition. During many years, he was one of the biggest supporters of a speech recognition solution. VoiceSearchBar.com uses the free Microsoft speech recognition component, which makes the toolbar absolutely free for all users.
Developers of the VoiceSearchBar promised to improve the voice recognition and add new important features in the future.
