Voice Search: Say What You Want and Get It
In the Voice Search project, we envision a future where you can ask your cellphone for any kind of information and get it. With a small cellphone, there is a heavy tax on traditional keyboard based information entry, and we believe it can be significantly more convenient to communicate by voice. Our work focuses on making this communication more reliable, and able to cover the full range of information needed in daily life.
