Yahoo web search on mobile devices now support voice commands

Internet media giant Yahoo has announced an updated mobile web search. The company has added a new feature which would enable the users to search using voice commands.

Yahoo mobile chief Marco Boerries said in a statement: “This is really a sea change. This is not about simple Web links anymore.”

The company has been working hard on steps to avoid being acquired by Microsoft.

This is the latest update to their oneSearch service which they are providing through collaborations with several mobile service providers around the world.

For this new feature they are using the technology supplied by Vlingo Corp. Yahoo said: “We’ve got exclusive rights in a company that we believe will change voice search forever.”
