Basic Info Blog (EN): Voice Search (Spanish)

VOICE SEARCH is an application that offers a search method by speaking.

The voice search application is available for all Latin America, respecting the particular accents of each region.
Google VOICE SEARCH is available now in Spanish respecting the different accents from America. For this release, the company has worked with employees and users of Google in the region, including Chile, Peru, Panama, Costa Rica, Colombia, Mexico and Argentina, to capture the variety of accents of those places.
In each country, Google worked with native people to collect samples of how they speak and you better understand different accents and dialects. Data were collected in different acoustic conditions, such as restaurants, public roads or cars in motion, to train the speech recognition model according to different use cases in real life.
Because the Spanish language varies depending on which country in America is concerned, Google held a double work:

First training language models to recognize the hundreds and thousands of words.
And second, to create three different models for more accurate results.
