Simplicity

Google Voice has made searches easy for mobile phones a long time back. Google Voice Search produces results faster on the mobile phones. But the same work takes a long time on the desktops. Google Voice was enabled on desktops after some time of launching it on the mobile phones. Also, the functionality of Google Voice Search is limited to chrome. It is only a breeze to use if you don’t mention the problems with accent. But Google tries to be the best of the bests at what it is very good.

Google have also offered Google Instant Pages. It is another feature that enables users to go to the desired web page even faster. It also enables Google to take screen shots of pages which seems to be most relevant for the searched query. Thus producing the relevant results of the searched query to the users. Google Voice Search and Google Instant Pages both provide results on the searched query at a faster rate.
