Voice Search-Make technology more user-literateThe handset hardware has the unique opportunity. such as microphones, cameras, gyroscopes, light sensors, distance sensors, gravity sensors ... Using these hardware conditions, enhancing the search experience is one of the ways we try. In which speech search is our relatively mature technology.
As early as last year, we released the Palm Baidu to integrate the voice search technology. Now Baidu's voice search technology to identify accurate to an unprecedented height, so that the entire search experience to achieve a huge increase. The task of the design team is to make this advanced technology, through interaction and visual design, become easier to understand and operate, so that the perfect combination of humanities and technology:
(We tried a lot of feedback design at the voice level) 1. Timely feedback to users-timely feedback to users is one of the most important design principles of product experience design. The old version of the design does not allow the user to perceive the machine running, for example: If the interface is recording, if there is no animation effect, the user will think that the panic. We have introduced the simple action of the microphone to emit sound waves, telling the user that the machine is running. Our follow-up will also be based on the user's pronunciation and whether the size of a more realistic animation design. 2. Give the user the right to choose--Add the input and cancel the button. Even if we work on the cloud technology level to identify whether the user has finished speaking, but because the current mobile phone hardware has not been very good to remove the ambient tone, so rely on the machine to determine whether the user has finished recording or errors. So it's a good choice to give the user the option right now. In addition, in the recognition of the interface also take into account the situation of the network environment, give users a cancellation process design. With the improvement of technology and hardware level, we will continue to explore a variety of sensors and search experience of the combination of mobile phone's overall strength to enhance our search experience!

We find that this type of information does not exceed four major dimensions to complete the communication, in fact the core information dimension is no more than 3 layers. Therefore, we boldly refined the information, in the rendering by size, position relationship to coordinate the level of information, information labels, detailed information, auxiliary information transmission effect.
A description of a message in addition to the text and pictures, we have designed the planning. There are more ding product forms that will appear in subsequent products.
