🔍 Speech-to-Retrieval (S2R): Google Skips Text, Goes Straight to Search

Google Research unveiled S2R technology , a breakthrough that maps spoken queries directly to search results without converting speech to text first, eliminating transcription errors that derail voice searches.

Highlights:

• Dual encoders process speech and docs simultaneously for direct semantic mapping

• Bypasses fragile ASR step (e.g., “The Scream” → “screen painting”)

• Works across 17 languages and 26 locales with open-source dataset

• Outperforms cascade models in speed and accuracy

Why it matters:
S2R focuses on intent, not words enabling faster, more accurate voice search and redefining how we talk to technology.
