Voice Search On Google

 

 

Search by speaking.

- You can now say things like "pictures of …" or "where is …?"
- Fixed browser button in latest versions of Chrome.

Voice Search provides a method to search by speaking. For example,
just click on the microphone and say "kittens" to search for kittens. 
If you specifically want pictures of kittens, say "google images 
kittens". 
Want to learn more about World War II? Say "wikipedia world war two".

Voice Search comes pre-loaded with the following default services: 
Google, Wikipedia, YouTube, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo and Wolfram|Alpha. 

You can also add your own user-defined search engines. 
It also integrates speech input buttons for text fields on all websites.

This extension requires a microphone, and it needs access to all 
websites,
 so it can add speech input buttons to every text field.
 
 

How to Get it on your PC

>Download Google's Chrome browser.
>you need, because it turns out Voice Search is built right in. 
>Just head to Google.com, 
>then click the little microphone on the right side of 
>the search field. (Needless to say, this will work only if your PC has
 a microphone. 
Most laptops do; most desktops don't, unless you have a 
Webcam.)


The feature is also available in Google Maps,
 though it doesn't extend to other Google properties like Calendar, 
Gmail, and YouTube.
