What is Yandex voice search.

Everyone is familiar with a simple search, when the user enters data into the search bar. It has been around almost since the founding of the Internet. To date, it had no analogues. Although in some cases it was inconvenient.

After all, users do not always search for data using a computer. Smartphones, tablets and laptops are used, and activities may not take place in very comfortable places.

Let's say on the road or while walking. Yandex voice search will help you find important information simply by saying a question into the microphone of a digital device. The program immediately processes it and produces results. In some cases, the answer may also come in speech form.

How to use Yandex voice search.

Advanced users learn new things on the Internet very quickly. But there is an audience of people who may face difficulties. To solve the question of how to use voice search, it must be said that you will need to perform the following steps:

Click on the “microphone” icon on the right side of the search bar;

say the request clearly. Speak it into the microphone. The request can consist of one word or an entire phrase;

view the results and if they are not satisfactory, repeat the request again. In general, there are no differences from regular search, when the query is typed in a line.

Yandex Alice is a new application developed by Yandex, an alternative to its competitor Okay Google. Alice is a personal assistant with artificial intelligence; she can answer almost all your questions and help you find the information you need on the Internet. Voice assistant Alice works with all Yandex services, with the help of them she will quickly determine where you are. If desired, he will plot the route in the navigator or tell you where the nearest stops are and give a transport schedule.

It can also tell you which supermarkets are nearby and even tell you what discounts are currently available in supermarkets. Finding a store, restaurants or pharmacy is now easier; it will give you directions to the place you need. Would you like to watch a movie? Easy - movie posters, tickets and prices in a jiffy. The Yandex Alice voice assistant is now included in Yandex Browser, built in by default, and with it the browser has become much more convenient.

To talk to Alice, you just need to say - Alice, let's talk or talk to me, after which she will start a dialogue with you.

Identify the song that is playing and find it
Determine your location
Find out what or who is in the photo
Include a fairy tale for your child
Play games with you
Tell the weather forecast
Use navigation and build the necessary routes
This is not the entire list of her capabilities; she is constantly learning new skills and improving herself.

First, you need to download and install Alice on your phone or tablet in order to use Alice voice search on your devices by default.

The rating of stupid Google and Yandex queries is topped by the query

Okay Google why am I googling in Yandex?

I don’t even know what to answer) But the fact that a person is aware of the problem is already 50% of its solution :)))

ok Google where is my car

ok Google where is my car photo ( is everything that bad???)

ok Google where are my panties

ok google where is Lekha (unexpectedly (!) 11 people a month are looking for Lekha!!!)

ok google where am I now (apparently, in the same place as the panties, Lech and the car...)

In connection with what we saw above, the following question is quite logical:

OKAY GOOGLE, WHERE WAS I YESTERDAY????

Spring, March cats, hormones or requests from the series “My mirror of light, tell me...”

ok Google who is better than me

ok Google who's the coolest

Have you forgotten about Ravshan and Dzhamshut? And they got to Google, found the apparently distorted text, and now it’s just a matter of small things:

ok google find me stilettos vili sex

ok google find me porn studs Vili

The requests are very polite and nice people, touching and pleasing, thank you for being there :)

ok google you honey

ok google please songs

ok google please show me the cartoon innovators

ok google please a song about robots

From a series of rhetorical questions:

ok google what is she offended by

ok Google how to understand a girl

Ukrainian politicians have mastered not only Facebook... (as many as 17(!))

ok Google how to return Crimea

Well, and finally :)

ok google how are you? (I think he definitely never gets bored :)))

ok google how to say moonshine in spanish

ok google open yandex (and again - a request from Yandex (!))

Always yours, Information Bureau and section of Dumb Google Questions :)))

The rapid progress of modern technologies allows us to add more and more possibilities to their use. One of these opportunities is voice search by Yandex and Google. Voice search is most popular among smartphone owners, because voice typing is much easier there. But it is possible to install it on a computer.

Voice search Yandex and Google

More and more people are starting to use voice search. This technology allows you to create a search query without the need for a keyboard. Moreover, its convenience lies in the fact that it is absolutely not necessary to install any applications. All you need is a simple smartphone and Internet access. The search engines themselves - Yandex and Google - already have a built-in function that allows them to recognize human speech. Therefore, by opening one of these search engines in your browser, you can already experience all the convenience of modern technologies.

Each of the search engines has its own voice assistant, through which the voice query is entered. For example, in Yandex its role is played by a standard module for ordinary voice search "Yandex.Stroke". The voice assistant is also worth mentioning "Alice". Initially, information about the appearance of this technology for the Yandex search engine was made public in May 2017. On October 10 of the same year, the official launch of “Alice” took place as a voice assistant for the search engine from Yandex. But the second option is more of an intelligent assistant; Yandex.Stroke is also perfect for simple use of voice search.

For the main competitor of the Russian search engine - Google - such technology is Google Now. With this same “guy” everything is a little more confusing and complicated. The fact is that at the time this technology appeared, it was a complete innovation for a wide range of users. The official date for integrating Google Now into the browser's search engine was May 15, 2013. However, the first news of this development appeared back in 2011.

The advantage of voice search over the usual typing of a query is the speed of typing, the ability not to be distracted from doing various things, and also to do it with dirty hands... As “Alice” says: “Joke.” In fact, this innovation turned the usual perception of search engines upside down and significantly expanded the horizon of their capabilities. The voice assistants of the two largest search engines in the Russian Internet space recognize different voice timbres, its volume, clarity and diction. This allows you to convert speech into the correct version of the voice query and quickly return the necessary search results.

How to enable and configure Yandex voice search

On the computer

Click on the icon and if this is your first time, Yandex will ask you for permission to access the microphone. You must click "Allow".

Subsequently, when you click on it, a pop-up window appears that asks you to say a word or phrase, which will become a search query.

In this case, it is convenient that this feature is already built into the search bar on the Yandex page. In addition, the use of technology does not imply binding to the Yandex Browser - it can be used by accessing the Yandex page from any other browser. In this case, you can see the minimum settings directly on the page. To do this, click on the secure connection icon on the right side of the address bar and select the microphone use mode.

Typically it is enabled by default. Otherwise, you will need to enable it by simply clicking in the appropriate field. When you open the settings, you will see a column in which you will be asked to select a microphone for recording a voice message and some permissions for its use.

As such, there are no difficulties with setting up the use of a microphone in Yandex. The listed settings are relevant for both personal computers and laptops.

On the phone

The situation is a little different when using this function on a smartphone. Everything is much simpler here. So, go to the Yandex main page and in the search bar click on the microphone icon.

A window also pops up informing you that you can speak.

To configure the search engine site's access to phone recording devices, click on the secure connection icon. Here you can deny access, always allow, or allow only upon request.

How to enable and configure Google voice search

A similar situation awaits us when using voice search on Google - a division between computers with laptops and phones.

On a computer or laptop

Just as in the first case - when using voice search in Google from a computer, on the right side of the search line you can find a microphone icon, which, however, will be slightly different - Google has it in different colors.

After that, you can say what you want to find.

If you want to block Google from accessing the microphone on your laptop or computer, click on the secure connection icon and set the necessary settings.

Today, Google also has a built-in function (although, rather, on the contrary - Yandex “also has”, because Google was the first in this matter), which does not require installing the application. In this case, just go to this search engine from any browser.

The Yandex company is developing by leaps and bounds, constantly developing and improving its products: search assistants, browsers, applications, services. But many users are wondering what the difference is between the Yandex Search bar and Alice.

The search bar can only be installed on computers and laptops with Windows 7, 8, 10. It supports Windows, Android, iOS and can also be installed on smartphones.

Activation - “Okay, Yandex” and “Okay, Alice”

The Yandex search line responds to “Ok, Yandex”, “Listen, Yandex”, “Hello, Yandex”, “Okay Yandex”. Alice adds “Hello, Alice”, “Okay, Alice”, “Listen, Alice” to the general listed list. Both are also activated when you click on the microphone icon.

Teams

Installation

So, we conclude that the Yandex search string is a special case of Alice, which is installed on a personal computer.

Initially, the Search bar was created only to make it easier to work on a PC, and if you want to install it on your computer, then feel free to download Alice for Windows, say Okay, Yandex and use it with pleasure

In the summer of 2018, Google officially launched its voice assistant Google Assistant in Russia with support for the Russian language. Google Assistant is powered by artificial intelligence and is built into the Android operating system, similar to how the assistant is built into iOS on iPhones. The assistant is activated by a special phrase Ok Google (Ok Google), and it can and does allow you to unlock Android with your voice. And since November 2018, the Assistant began speaking Russian in Smart.

Google regularly adds new commands for Google Assistant. We did command help app, which we update regularly. The application has categories of commands that are not included in this article: Secret commands, Calls and messages, Geography, Physics and Chemistry, History, People and others.
