Voice Search

Voice search is a technology that allows users to perform searches using spoken commands rather than typing. This technology is powered by advancements in natural language processing (NLP) and artificial intelligence (AI), enabling search engines to understand and process voice queries effectively.

• **Natural Language Processing (NLP)**: The ability of a computer to understand and interpret human language.
• **Speech Recognition**: The technology that converts spoken language into text.
• **Search Intent**: Understanding what the user is searching for based on their query.
• **Conversational Queries**: Queries that are more natural and spoken, often longer than traditional text searches.

3.1 Setting Up Voice Search

1. Integrate a speech recognition API (such as Google Speech-to-Text).
2. Capture and convert voice commands into text.
3. Process the text input using a search engine database.
4. Retrieve relevant search results based on the processed query.
5. Convert the results back to audio for user feedback (optional).

3.2 Example Code Snippet

const speechRecognition = window.speechRecognition || window.webkitSpeechRecognition;
const recognition = new speechRecognition();

recognition.onstart = () => {
    console.log('Voice recognition started. Try speaking into the microphone.');
};

recognition.onresult = (event) => {
    const transcript = event.results[0][0].transcript;
    console.log(`You said: ${transcript}`);
    // Now process the transcript with your search engine
};

recognition.start();
