Google has a new patent for a voice interface for a search engine (Patent no. 7027987).


The patent describes the interface as "a system (that) provides search results from a voice search query. The system receives a voice search query from a user, derives one or more recognition hypotheses, each being associated with a weight, from the voice search query, and constructs a weighted boolean query using the recognition hypotheses. The system then provides the weighted boolean query to a search system and provides the results of the search system to a user."


Looks like something new is cooking at google labs. Just imagine, you are writing an article about Britney Spears and you want to know what's the latest news about her. You just put on your headset with microphone and say "google search....latest britney news" and a new window will open up news.google.com and search for Britney. Now that's cool.
