Benefits

Although this feature has not so many fans yet and is not too widespread, some users have already appreciated its convenience and functionality. What are the advantages of having a Yandex voice search?

  • This is a free module, for the normal operation of which you do not need to install. Enough expansion from Yandex, which can be installed in any browser;
  • This module is distributed free of charge;
  • It is well compatible with any browser, and works even on older computers with small hardware resources;
  • The module exists in several variations - for correct work on the computer, modular devices, etc .;
  • The module works quite correctly, voice commands are recognized clearly and correctly (although much depends on the hardware, for example, on the quality of the microphone);
  • The set of search query by voice saves a considerable amount of time, and also, it is convenient when hands are occupied (or in the cold).

From the above, we can conclude that this function is suitable for all those who are accustomed to using the function of the search query, but prefer to use Yandex, not Google.

disadvantages

The most significant drawback this service   - its sufficiently high dependence on the parameters of the microphone. If you pronounce your request too far from it or the quality of the audio transmission is low, the system will not be able to correctly recognize your query (as long as this happens quite often).

In this case, it will replace it with the phrase closest to the sound of those that are often used from your computer. Or popular among users. After such incorrect recognition, the only way to make a request is to register it manually from the keyboard.

Installation

The module, mentioned above, is an extension of Yandex. Line. After you install this extension on your computer, an input field appears on the bottom of the desktop. It will be present not only in time, but also when working in offline mode.

Such a line is convenient in itself for users who often use search queries. In addition, Yandex voice search is implemented only with its help.

Yandex. Line

How to install this extension. To do this, follow the simple algorithm:

  • You can download it from the official developer page, for this you need to go to the link;
  • Find the yellow Install button on the left side of the page and click on it;

  • Complete the installation by following the instructions of the Line Installer;
  • After the installation is complete, it should appear at the bottom of the screen, on the panel with shortcuts and program buttons;
  • If this does not happen, restart the computer.

After you installed the Yandex.String program, you automatically became available for voice search using this extension. Search, as well as the string, will work both, and when working with programs in offline mode.

As mentioned above, you do not need Yandex.Browser for normal operation of the string. This module is not an extension of the browser and works completely isolated from it.

Using

If you work for a personal computer, then for correct operation of the module you need to connect external microphone. Connect the device and make settings through the device Manager. On laptops, sometimes it is also required to perform some microphone settings and allow it access to external applications.

How can I use this application and the string as a whole? First of all, you can use the string as a standard search engine. That is, to enter into it a search query from the keyboard.

After pressing the Enter button, the system will automatically open the default browser, and in it - the results of the search query in Yandex. Of course, for this it is necessary that the Internet is connected to the computer.

Voice search is multifunctional. It allows you to enter not only the usual search queries, but also to search for applications, site addresses, etc. In order to specify any query, proceed according to the algorithm:

  • Find the button with the microphone icon on the right side of the bottom panel, search string   Yandex, and click on it;
  • Say the key phrase;
  • The engine of the module processes the voice command, after which it appears in the line (it happens very quickly);
  • Then press the Enter button and use the results of the output as well as with a normal query from the keyboard.

The search algorithms through the string do not differ from the standard Yandex algorithms. In the same way, a list of results is created on request. And all other search parameters are also completely characteristic for the Yandex system.

A convenient feature is a custom, automatically created, bookmarks bar. It is formed from the most frequently visited sites. It can be seen by clicking on the search bar at the bottom of the window.

Also at the bottom of the window you can find your latest search request through the Yandex.String system. Also there are presented his most popular interpretations received from other users.
