(For the purposes of this study entitled Pump Up The Volume: An Assessment of Voice-Enabled Web Search on the iPhone, Vlingo provided a spoken interface to the Yahoo! search engine.)
According to the study. ChaCha interpreted natural language search queries, that is, queries asked as questions, accurately in 94.4% of the tests and delivered an accurate search result in 88.9% of cases. By contrast, the Google voice recognition technology interpreted queries accurately in only 16.7% of tests and delivered accurate search results in 22.2% of tests. The Vlingo for iPhone voice recognition technology correctly interpreted queries in 72.2 % of cases and delivered accurate results (via Yahoo!) in 27.8% of tests.
