Following the addition of voice-search support on BigBasket, Flipkart introduced a voice assistant for its grocery section last year. Now the Walmart-owned e-commerce giant is expanding voice search support to its primary app.

Initially, the voice search feature will support two languages – English and Hindi. There is, however, a high chance of the company adding support for more regional languages in the future.
Flipkart says that this new feature will impact the online shopping experience of users in a positive way. This is mainly because voice search is much faster than search-by-typing. As per independent studies, voice search is 3x faster than type-search in English and 5x faster than type-search in Hindi.
