More and more people are speaking to their computers or mobile devices to search for things online or on their hard drives. Voice recognition technology, like Google's Voice Search or Apple's Siri, means our technology is beginning to understand what we are saying. The technology research company Northstar recently conducted Google's Mobile Voice Study and found that voice searches on mobile devices have more than doubled in the past year. Northstar said that voice search is a lot more popular among teenagers than adults. Researchers interviewed 1,400 Americans. They found that 55 per cent of teens use voice search at least once a day, compared with 41 percent of adults.

越來越多的人對著他們的電腦或移動設(shè)備說出自己想要的東西，來搜網(wǎng)絡(luò)索或者硬盤。語音識別技術(shù),如谷歌語音搜索或蘋果的語音助手,意味著我們的技術(shù)開始理解我們在說什么。北極星科技研究公司最近對谷歌的移動語音進行了研究,發(fā)現(xiàn)在移動設(shè)備上的語音搜索在過去的一年里翻一番。北極星科技研究公司說,語音搜索在成年人當中比青少年更加流行。研究人員采訪了1400名美國人。他們發(fā)現(xiàn)55%的青少年每天至少使用一次語音搜索，相比之下, 成年人只占41%。

Google's Vice President for Conversational Search explained how important voice search is becoming. He said: "Voice search is a key feature of the Google app that's becoming ever more important as people spend more time on their mobile phones." The research found that many teenagers thought voice search was a normal part of technology, whereas adults said it made them feel "tech savvy". Both teens and adults used voice search to multi-task while watching TV or cooking. Researchers said people used voice search for different purposes. One important use for teens was to study. Almost one-third of the 13-18-year-olds surveyed said they ask their phones for answers to their homework.

負責會話搜索的谷歌副總裁解釋稱語音搜索變得越來越重要。他說，語音搜索是谷歌應(yīng)用程序的一個關(guān)鍵特性。隨著人們花更多的時間在手機上，這一應(yīng)用程序會變得越來越重要。調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn),許多青少年認為語音搜索是科技的正常部分，而成年人說他們認為這是超智能的技術(shù)。青少年和成人使用語音搜索多個任務(wù)同時看電視或烹飪。研究人員說,人們語音搜索的目的不同。研究人員說,青少年使用這一功能的重要用途是學習。受訪的近三分之一的13~18歲的青少年說,他們要求手機回答他們的家庭作業(yè)。
