Google’s growing problem: 50% of people do zero searches per day on mobile

A couple of years ago I found the voice search useless, but these days even e.g. searching for channel names on Youtube that doesn't even match dictionary words works near flawlessly despite the fact I speak English with a broad Scandinavian accept.

Same here. I have a pretty thick Spanish accent, but the Google voice search has improved so much that he understand almost everything I say. I still don't use it that often though, giving instructions to your phone still feels weird to me.

And yet, I refer to my phone as "he".

My phone understands my accented English pretty well - the problem is when I don't want to search in English.

Looks like you even type with an accept :^)
