Japan's goo lab to test "speech assisted search"

NTT Resonant (www.nttr.co.jp) has started the “Speech Assisted Search” text at goo lab (http://labs.goo.ne.jp).

With this technology, a mobile user can speak the search word instead of typing it. In order to use this service, a user would access the page on goo lab web site from mobile phone, choose the search service, call the test number by clicking “call” button, speak the word to be searched and confirm that the system heard it correctly. The results will be displayed after clicking the “Check results” button.
