Yahoo is successful in making voice search available with Yahoo’s OneSearch 2.0 application for Black Berry since last April of 2008. but up till now only few  lucky ones are able to try it out.

Last Thursday Yahoo tested voice recognition into the OneSearch 2.0 home-screen shortcut—available for a smattering of Nokia Series 60 phones—and in the Yahoo Go 3.0 files which includes BlackBerry, Nokia Series 40, and Nokia Series 60 models, such as the BlackBerry Curve and high-end Nokia and Sony Ericsson phones. People using the older of the models given above supported by the apps of Yahoo can have a download and be a part of a chitty chatty update

Although the technology may be improving as the days pass bye but the fact is many voice searches tried so far have fallen flat in the eyes of many. It promises to launch search in its simplest form possible in the areas where the sound is minimum. As far as experimented my me it was nothing but success that I found but have also had to punch in search terms or edit them in the search field when the speech recognition software bungled a command or when the search engines didn’t return the results the ones I had in mind. It might still be the one as it has some good options up its sleeve and as the time passes voice search is surely going to improve and might save time.

You can download the OneSearch 2.0 with a voice start-screen widget for select Nokia Series 60 phones by navigating to m.yahoo.com/shortcut from a PC or phone. The new version of Yahoo Go 3.0 (technically 3.0.4.6), which includes the voice-supporting Yahoo OneSearch widget, can be found for some Nokia and BlackBerry models at get.go.yahoo.com from a PC or the phone’s native browser.
