Hound

The Hound application is a simple voice assistant for mobile all devices with which we will be able to search the internet using our natural voice.

Perform voice searches

Voice assistants help us to handle our multimedia devices in a simple way. The famous studio SoundHound now offers us a personal voice assistant as an alternative to Google.

Voice assistant for smartphones

Hound is a voice assistant quite similar to Google's. This means that by downloading the APK file of this app we'll be able to control our smartphone or tablet using voice commands.

All we have to do is say "OK Hound" and the system goes into listen mode. We can then ask our question or start our search with a voice command (in English). The system recognizes the audio within seconds and shows us the results.

In this way we can search and play music, ask questions, get addresses to go to any place, set reminders, research and search the Internet, call, send messages, do arithmetic, use the system hands-free...and much more.

To do this, this tool uses the Houndify platform, which combines speech recognition with natural language understanding in a single step, something developers call speech-to-meaning. And of course, this independent voice assistant is faster thanks to its special system. The disadvantage? That it currently only works in English.
