The application does not take up much memory and runs even on older computers.
As you may have noticed, Google developers decided not to embed in their own Chrome browser voice search function. But Yandex engineers decided to go from the opposite, and prepared a module with similar functionality for their adherents, laying it out in open access plugin "Yandex.String". This add-on does not require a third-party installation of Yandex.Browser. Moreover, it is distributed on an absolutely free basis, which cannot but please the end user. In today's article we will tell you how to activate Yandex voice search for computer and smartphone how to use it, and what possibilities it is capable of.
So, let's install the Yandex.String module on a PC. To do this, download the extension distribution kit from the official project pages. The installation process itself is no different from a similar procedure performed with any other software products, and we will not dwell on it in detail. Just follow the instructions of the wizard and in just a minute the application will be installed on your hard drive.
When everything is ready, a text line will appear on the taskbar for entering character and voice commands.
As we wrote before, Yandex.String is a completely standalone project, and it does not require the installation of a browser from the same developer for its operation.
How to use Yandex text search for a computer?
Working with the module is as easy as shelling pears: click on the text search bar, and a list of the latest web resources that you visited, as well as those search queries that are in this moment are in trend.
So, that's sorted out. Now let's move on: just start typing the appropriate word or phrase in the search box, and the application will immediately offer you the most popular search queries based on your key.
Moreover, if you enter your own request to the end, or select one of the proposed keys from the list, your default browser will immediately start, in the search line of which the key you specified will be available.
In addition to searching for the most relevant search queries on the Internet, the engine also scans the contents of the drive, as a result of which program names that match the search query appear in the results. As you can see, the Yandex.String module is very omnivorous and has a lot of possibilities.
How does Yandex voice search for a computer work?
To start the voice search function, you need to click on the microphone icon and say the search word or phrase to search. Instead of using the manipulator every time to launch a feature, just say the phrase “Listen, Yandex!” into the microphone, after which the module will also start in automatic mode. If you are sitting in front of a laptop, this is generally incredibly convenient: since most laptops are equipped with a built-in microphone, you don’t even need to connect a headset for this.
If you still decide to use Yandex voice search for a computer, you should definitely know what commands you can and should pronounce for processing by the engine. Requests can be absolutely anything, starting from the words “open”, “find”, “listen”, “restart the computer” (or “turn off”) and concern not only the operations performed by the browser, but also contain words related to work PC as a whole, namely: launching or closing a certain application, stopping the computer itself. For example, by saying the command "Open Word", you can literally open in a second text editor, without resorting to using the mouse or keyboard, and the "restart computer" command will lead to the corresponding derivative action.
Yandex voice search for Android
In the Android OS, the voice search function is not separate from, and in order to use this feature, you will have to first install a branded web navigator from Russian company. When this is done, two icons will appear on Android to launch voice search. The first of them is Yandex.Browser itself. We launch it, and in the center we see an icon in the form of a microphone. We press it, and we pronounce the desired phrase for the search. Similarly, we can use the command "Listen, Yandex!".
The second option is a special module designed exclusively for voice search. It is called “Listen, Yandex!”, And it works completely identical to the feature built into the navigator from Yandex. Separate these two functionality- in our opinion, not such a bad idea, it allows you to highlight this feature on a par with other web browser modules, and even more attracts the user's attention.
How to set up Yandex voice search for a computer?
The authors of the plugin saved up some module settings for us, which we'll talk about now. called context menu parameters by right-clicking on the Yandex search bar. So, let's see what can be configured here?
The first field "Search line" is responsible for the hot key combination for shortcut search strings. By default, the sequence is "Ctrl + Y", but you can change it according to personal preferences.
The next group of parameters involves customizing the work with files on the hard drive. If the file is found, the containing directory will be opened, or the object itself will be opened, as found by the search function.
Another section involves opening web search results in the browser window installed in the OS by default, or directly in the Yandex.Strings window. The first option is set by default.
That's all important settings, which can be installed to work with the search function in Yandex.String. Row additional options available by right-clicking on the search bar, but they are not so important, so we will not dwell on them.
How to remove Yandex voice search?
To remove a module from Windows, just go to the application manager and delete Yandex.String like any other system application. To do this, open the control panel, and select the "Uninstall a program" item in the "Programs" category, and then find in the list installed applications the plugin we need called "Yandex.String" and double-click on it. Then just follow the instructions of the wizard, and soon the program will be removed.
