Yahoo introduces voice search

Searching the web with your voice on a mobile phone is now a possibility thanks to Yahoo.

Yahoo oneSearch with voice is intended to make it easier and quicker to search the web on a mobile as you can simply say your search term rather than use small, fiddly buttons to type it.

However, only a handful of mobiles are compatible. The BlackBerry Pearl and BlackBerry Curve as well as the 8800 series will work with oneSearch with voice, as will Nokia Series 60 devices.

"Yahoo oneSearch offers mobile consumers a compelling search experience, delivering answers and relevant results tailored to the unique attributes of the mobile experience," said Mitch Lazar, managing director of Connected Life, Yahoo Europe.

"With today’s 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," Lazar continued.
