Do you use "voice" in your searches?

[Old Salt]

I do voice search on a regular basis but then have to revert to typing because some of the answers I get are ridiculous! If you can remember, what are the most twisted answers you ever got?

 

[Michael Z]

Yes, I do. The key is short phrases. My wife, on the other hand likes to recite long paragraphs when doing YouTube searches - the results can be down right hilarious!

If you can remember

Sadly I don't remember, but I do remember finding a lot of hilarity in the results on my first smart phone long ago. Although I'm glad the current voice recognition does a lot better, I do miss the crazy texts I'd accidentally send to my daughter.

I don't use the voice thing much. It doesn't seem to understand me a lot.

You mean Siri ?... no.... but I do use Google Hme hub..and Amazon Echo..they are both voice activated

 

[Ruthanne]

No. I have used it on my cell though but I got tired of it writing incorrectly what I said.

Nope, not Siri, @hollydolly. Just Google search! Strange that you should mention Echo. My daughter just bought one and talked me into buying one at Amazon! I hope I get better responses on that one!

Same here, @fuzzybuddy!

I do..if I can't spell it.

No, I don't want to encourage my phone to listen in, anymore than it already does.

I only use it in my car, for music search.

It works without a phone connected, and the car isn't a giant cellphone itself either and works offline completely. The music is on a USB flash drive. I can search and play by album, artist, title, etc.

This is a 5 year old Civic, not some luxury model.

Occasionally mainly on my TV remote.
