Earlier this month, it emerged that internet search portal, Google has been granted a patent pertaining to the conducting of voice searches.

According to the abstract of the patent application, the invention is designed to work in the following way:

"The system receives a voice search query from a user, derives one or more recognition hypotheses, each being associated with a weight, from the voice search query, and constructs a weighted boolean query using the recognition hypotheses. The system then provides the weighted boolean query to a search system and provides the results of the search system to a user."

The application was filed in February 2001 by Google co-founder Sergey Brin and inventors Alex Franz and Brian Milch, among others.
