Yatra.com unveils new ‘Voice Search’ feature

Yatra.com has introduced a new voice search feature aimed at streamlining the user experience while booking domestic and international flights. According to the company, this will make it easier to search and find flight related information on its Android and iOS mobile application.

With ever increasing smartphone usage, the Voice Search feature for making flight bookings via the mobile will come in very handy for many users.

To use the feature, users can tap on the microphone icon appearing at the top right on their mobile phone and speak out the travel details. The flight results with all the options will appear instantly.

Yatra said voice search will be particularly useful for long queries that would otherwise require plenty of details to be typed in, such as the number of travelers, number of adults or children.

Popular holidays are also synchronized into the voice search, so one can search for ‘flight from Delhi to Sydney for two adults on Christmas’ and instantly get all the available flight options for two adults from Delhi to Sydney on 25th December.

“Over the last 18 months, we have seen a significant increase in searches and bookings via mobiles and hence the introduction of a feature like Voice Search to make it easier for the mobile user to search and book flights. We think it will play a transformational role in the way flight bookings are made,” said Sharat Dhall, COO (B2C), Yatra.com.
