Available on multiple platforms
Voice search for smart assistants
If your company has an Alexa skill or a Google Assistant action, voice search can make those better. Stop forcing users down an endless list of decisions until they get what they want. Instead, use Algolia’s voice search capabilities to let them speak their request directly and get their result immediately.
Mobile voice search tools
The most common voice search use is not smart speakers, but on mobile devices. Over half of users are using voice on mobile every day-and they’re searching for something. 20% of all searches on mobile are done through voice. Algolia offers voice search for mobile applications and for mobile websites.
Voice search technologies
Give your employees all the knowledge they need directly in their hands, or help customers find what they need in your location.
Natural language understanding
Algolia’s natural language understanding capabilities ensure that even the most complex of queries lead to success. Algolia Answers uses semantic understanding to return the right answer for user questions, even deep within text. Tests have shown an improvement in 90% of natural language queries when using Algolia Answers. Algolia’s rules engine, meanwhile, scans for important information to narrow down your users’ search, ultimately leading to the right result.
Speech to text libraries
Algolia offers free, open source libraries to add voice search to your mobile apps and mobile websites. We have libraries for voice on iOS, Android, or voice in mobile browsers.
Textual relevance
The best speech to text or natural language understanding falls down if the search engine doesn’t understand the textual relevance. Algolia’s search engine technology combines textual relevance and your business metrics with our natural language processing and understanding to offer voice search that’s unparalleled.
International language support
Algolia’s natural language processing works across dozens of languages and our infrastructure is distributed, so we support your users wherever they are.
