Li Yanhong: over-text search will be performed for voice and image search in five years.

Li Yanhong pointed out that voice is an earlier and more natural expression than text. In the PC Internet era, voice cannot express the demand, but Baidu 10%'s search request is now expressed in voice.

On September 14, Baidu CEO Li Yanhong said at the Baidu World Conference today that mobile Internet not only has an impact on Internet companies, but also has a great impact on traditional enterprises, in the future, users' search methods will change greatly. In the next five years, the proportion of users who use voice and image search to express their needs will exceed that of text search.

　　Li Yanhong pointed out that voice is an earlier and more natural expression than text. In the PC Internet era, voice cannot express the demand, but Baidu 10%'s search request is now expressed in voice. More and more people are relying on Voice Search.

"Some people perform many voice searches every day, and the most people use voice searches for 500 times a day. Most of them use more than 400 times a day ." Li Yanhong said that the voice mode has brought more and more people into the search field with lower thresholds.

Voice is not just a search. In the future, we can use voice search to calculate mathematical problems. For example, "seven years later, my sisters will be 48 years old, and who is this year, who will be able to answer questions quickly after voice recognition." According to Li Yanhong's judgment, the proportion of users who use voice and image search to express their needs in the next five years will exceed 50% of that of text search. as technology advances, the voice accuracy is getting higher and higher, and the image recognition accuracy is getting higher and higher, people can meet their needs in a lower threshold.

In the past year, Baidu's mobile search demand has changed dramatically. Many people used Baidu to obtain knowledge and answers. Baidu is linking people and information, but the arrival of the mobile Internet has led consumers to change their expectations, consumers want Baidu to provide services, and more people are looking for services in mobile search.

Li Yanhong said that the demand for Baidu services in the past year has increased by 133%. These consumer behavior changes have a huge impact not only on Baidu, but also on all businesses. The traditional service industry must be sensitive to changes in consumer behavior and embrace changes in the Internet.
