Features HOUND Voice Search & Personal Assistant
Hound is the best way to search using your natural voice.What do we mean by natural voice?
Instead of talking like a search query "OK Houndā¦ Find Chinese restaurants", just ask "OK Houndā¦ What are the top rated Chinese restaurants near me?" Youll be amazed at the lightning-fast response.
Want to try something more advanced?
Hound can use follow-up questions and commands to filter, sort, or add more information to the original request.
Give this a shot: "OK Houndā¦ Find Asian restaurants rated 4 stars or more within walking distance of Times Square and exclude Chinese, Korean, and Thai"But Hound isnt limited to restaurants and coffee shops.

Other assistants simply translate words into text, and they do a voice search the old way.
But just recognizing words isnt fast enough!
Hound, powered by Houndify, is the fastest and most accurate independent voice assistant in the market today.End User Agreement: http://www.soundhound.com/hound-end-user-agreementLooking to listen to your favorite stations from Audacy?

"well I like it a lot, however it seems to be missing Hound anytime, if you can bring back that feature so I can summon Hound from any screen and include the lock screen I will give it 5 stars. also so far the only feature I've seen it can't do is take a screenshot"
