Description
Hound is the best way to search using your natural voice.
What do we mean by natural voice? Instead of talking like a search query “OK Houndโฆ Find Chinese restaurants”, just ask “OK Houndโฆ What are the top rated Chinese restaurants near me?” You’ll be amazed at the lightning-fast response.
Want to try something more advanced? Hound can use follow-up questions and commands to filter, sort, or add more information to the original request. Give this a shot: “OK Houndโฆ Find Asian restaurants rated 4 stars or more within walking distance of Times Square and exclude Chinese, Korean, and Thai”
