Voice search is an advanced technology approach that requires voice-enabled commands to conduct an internet search on an application, website, or browser. It has a short keyword query that is an open domain and can get all information from the internet. Voice searches have become very popular, and voice assistants such as Alexa, Siri, and Google assistants can carry out these searches.
Voice search is a dialog system type involving rounds of interactions. Users can clarify to the system about their search to ensure the accuracy of search results. The voice search approach uses audio recognition technology to understand the speaker and take appropriate steps.
How Does Voice Search Technology Work?
These are the processes involved in using the voice search:
- Processing and transcribing user speech to text.
- Analyzing text to detect the command or search question.
- Connect to an external data source (search engines) to search for relevant information.
- Translate the gathered information into a suitable format that fulfills the user’s desire.
This is a basic description of how this technology works. Still, it’s much more complex and involves different machine learning processes on the programs to better understand the user’s search intent and natural language. This is an incredibly sophisticated technology and continues to grow.
