Google Voice Search available in Bahasa Malaysia
 |
| Users can speak in Bahasa Malaysia to make a query using Google Voice Search |
You can now use the national language to speak your queries into your mobile phone and get instant search results with the availability of Google Voice Search in the Bahasa Malaysia.
Using Google´s mobile app, users just have to click on the microphone button beside the search bar and speak directly into the phone in Bahasa Malaysia or in any of the other 19 languages that Voice Search recognises.
"Malaysian consumers are sophisticated mobile users who frequently use their phone as their primary way to access the web, so it̢۪s important to make mobile search easy and convenient no matter what device or language you use," said Andrew McGlinchey, Product Manager, Google Southeast Asia.
"Voice has always been the most natural way to interact with a phone--speaking is quicker and easier than typing on a small touchscreen or keyboard."
Voice Search in Bahasa Malaysia combines local expertise with Google´s global speech recognition technology. To build Voice Search, Google taught computers to understand the sounds and words that make up spoken language by working with native speakers to collect speech samples the models that power the service.
For Bahasa Malaysia, Google worked with local student volunteers to collect speech samples, which were then integrated into the language models that power the service.
Queries are processed in the cloud using cellular Internet connections, and not on individual devices. In addition, as more people use Voice Search, the speech recognition models get better and better, improving accuracy without requiring users to download updates or install new software.
Voice Search is available for Android 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3, for iPhone, and for BlackBerry. Users can access it via m.google.com.my/voicesearch.
