Microsoft has no intention of being left behind in the race of intelligent search engines, therefore, launched an update to its application called Torque. This will allow Android smartphone users perform searches through his voice and using Bing as motor.

Torque was recently introduced be used in watches Android Wear; use may be even more practical than Google Now on the clock, because instead of requiring the user clicks on the screen or say a phrase like “OK Google”, simply shake the wrist to initiate a search.

Now, this same can be done on Android smartphones via voice. The next show is how this system works:

As you can see, to shake the phone a widget that can be moved opens and does not interrupt other tasks; as a question is articulated, the system gives concrete answers instead of displaying random data that may have something to do with the question.

On the other hand, in the widget Torque can be explored further responses happening your finger from left to right, or up and down if you want to see more reference links

This project is in development and Microsoft are investing time and money into it.; may never be able to replace Google Now is the native option to Android to search, however paree a good alternative for those who like to have many options.
