Voice Search in Russian, Polish, Czech and Turkish

Over the past few weeks we have launched Voice Search in four new languages: Russian, Polish, Czech and Turkish. Now, users in the Russian Federation, Poland, the Czech Republic and Turkey can simply say, in their own language, what it is that they are looking for. Try speaking queries like “концерты Юлии Савичевой” (tour dates for Yulia Svicheva), “przepis na pierogi” (recipes for pierogi), “obrázky Hradčan” (pictures of the Prague castle), or “istanbul hava durumu” (weather in Istanbul). Note that you will need to change your language setting on your phone and can’t speak all these languages into the app without changing your language setting first.




Voice Search is often preloaded on new Android devices. In that case, all that the user has to do is press and hold the search button and then start speaking. Some Android (2.0 or higher) phone users can download the Voice Search application from Android Market. On iPhone and other smartphones, Voice Search is a feature of Google Mobile App and is downloadable via m.google.com
