MoboTap, the developers of the popular alliterative mobile browser Dolphin, have rolled out a new update to their Dolphin Browser on Android, which brings with it a number of great new features as well as voice-control.
The new voice control features called Dolphin Sonar enables users to use their voice to carry out searches, share, bookmark, navigate and more.
Enhanced Browsing Experience
The Dolphin Sonar speech recognition feature is available for free in the Android Market via the new 7.4 update. This update not only introduces voice control but also brings significant improvements in browser speeds, making your browsing experience smoother and more efficient. Additionally, the update includes new add-ons that enhance the browser’s functionality, allowing users to customize their browsing experience further.
Yongzhi Yang, CEO of MoboTap, explains:
“Our gesture-based browsing function was a game-changer in terms of the way people browse on their mobile devices, and Sonar is the logical next step,” – “Just as sonar is used by dolphins to navigate, Dolphin Sonar interprets sound to get you where you want to be online.”
Future Prospects and Compatibility
Dolphin Sonar is not just limited to Android devices. The developers have announced that Dolphin Sonar for iOS devices will be arriving sometime in the summer of 2012. This cross-platform availability ensures that a broader audience can benefit from the innovative voice control features, making mobile browsing more accessible and user-friendly.
The introduction of voice control in mobile browsers is a significant step forward in the evolution of mobile technology. It allows users to interact with their devices in a more natural and intuitive way. For example, instead of typing out a search query, users can simply speak their request, and Dolphin Sonar will interpret and execute the command. This can be particularly useful in situations where typing is inconvenient or impossible, such as when driving or cooking.
Moreover, the ability to use voice commands to share content, bookmark pages, and navigate the web can save users a considerable amount of time and effort. For instance, if you come across an interesting article while browsing, you can quickly share it with your friends or bookmark it for later reference using just your voice. This hands-free approach to browsing not only enhances convenience but also promotes safer usage of mobile devices.
