Voice Search

Voice search Yandex

Yandex allows you to specify a search query by voice.

Just like on Google, Yandex allows you to specify a search query by voice.

You must have a microphone. If you use Skype, then you have one. It's built into almost every webcam.

How does it work

1. Go to the main Yandex page.
2. In the form field there will be light gray microphone and keyboard icons. If there is no microphone icon, it means you have no microphone or it is not active.
3. Press the icon and say the text.
4. The first time you ask your browser for permission to use a microphone on this site.
5. Permission granted.
6. A long pause will be taken as the end of the request. We receive the result of the request.

Unlike Google, on Yandex you can make requests in Russian or English regardless of the keyboard layout. Google will only recognize Russian speech if you have selected the Russian alphabet on your keyboard, or English if you have switched your keyboard to Latin.
