Voice search has been gaining popularity since 2016 (and even before that). Here\u2019s some data to back this app.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In fact, Mary Meeker revealed in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.advicelocal.com\/blog\/internet-trends-report-2016-infographic\/\">2016 Internet Trends<\/a> that Google Voice Search Queries were up. They were up 35x compared to 2008, and up 7x over 2010.<\/li>\n<li>Her 2017 Internet Trends revealed 20% of mobile searches were via voice, and 70% of voice queries were in natural\/conversational language. Yes, people were already talking to their voice assistants like they were buddies way back in 2017.<\/li>\n<li>Then, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.advicelocal.com\/blog\/internet-trends-report-2018-infographic\/\">2018 Internet Trends<\/a> revealed that the Amazon Echo user base grew by 30 million, Alexa had increased by more than 30,000 skills \u2013 and Google\u2019s Machine Learning word accuracy was at 95%. This was in 2018.<\/li>\n<li>Meeker\u2019s last published report, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bondcap.com\/report\/itr19\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2019 Internet Trends<\/a>, revealed that the Amazon Echo user base had grown to 47 million, and skills had increased to 80,000 \u2013 more than 2x the previous year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We can only imagine how much the Amazon Echo user base would be today.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-16975\" src=\"https:\/\/www.advicelocal.com\/images\/mobile-voice-usage-2020.png\" alt=\"mobile voice usage 2020\" width=\"1000\" height=\"863\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Image Credit: Perficient<\/p>\n<h2>Mobile Voice Search Usage<\/h2>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.perficient.com\/insights\/research-hub\/voice-usage-trends\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study by Perficient<\/a> of 1,123 users on mobile voice search usage in 2020 revealed that 4% used voice search more than 10 times per day while driving, and 5% used it 6\u201310 times per day while driving. Finally, 19% used mobile voice search a few times per week while driving.<\/p>\n<p>This means people are not just sitting at home using their Amazon Echo to perform voice search queries.
