Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for voice-based content searching. The systems, methods, and computer-readable media described herein may improve user experiences by providing voice-based content searching using mobile devices. In an example method described herein, a computer system may receive a voice search initiation signal from a mobile device over a WiFi protocol connection or a Bluetooth protocol connection. The computer system may monitor a WiFi receiver and a Bluetooth receiver of the computer system for first voice data. The computer system may determine that the first voice data is being received at the WiFi receiver. The computer system may determine that second voice data is received at the Bluetooth receiver while the first voice data is being received at the WiFi receiver, and discard the second voice data.
