If you’re still typing to find something to watch, it’s time to rediscover voice search. Voice search on your TV remote and on the VIZIO mobile app is here to make your life easier, and we’ve just made it even better.
SKIP THE TYPING, START SPEAKING
Scrolling through menus and typing with a remote can be tedious at times. Voice search is like your personal assistant, taking you straight to the results you are looking for. Just press the voice button on your remote, or tap the mic button on the mobile app, speak your request, and watch the results appear instantly. No more hunting for letters on the on-screen keyboard or endless scrolling through categories. It’s simple: just press, speak, and watch.
VOICE SEARCH NOW UNDERSTANDS YOU BETTER
If you’re already using the voice search shortcut, then you’re going to love our enhanced version. We’ve now upgraded voice search to be smarter and more intuitive. Don’t know the title of a movie or show and want to describe it? Voice search will find it for you. Want to find an old movie that will put you in a good mood? Try: “Find funny 90s movies” and voice search will deliver a curated collection of movies that will have you cracking up. The kids want a movie with talking robots? Voice search does the work of interpreting your request and finding content that matches, even if you're combining genres or getting creative with descriptions.
VOICE SEARCH DOES THE WORK SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO
Instead of spending time browsing categories, reading descriptions, and clicking through pages, you can describe exactly what mood you're in or what kind of content you want, and let voice search handle the rest.
Examples of voice search prompts you can use:
Clear categories & examples:
Genres (Action, Comedy)
Actors (Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt)
Directors (James Cameron, Stephen Spielberg)
Franchises (Marvel)
Awards (Oscar winning movies)
Availability (new movies to rent, free movies)
Ratings (comedy movies rated PG)
Apps (romantic comedies on prime, best shows on max)
Release year (funny movies from the 90s)
You can even search like this:
British crime shows
Comedies where the main character is a teacher
Movies where the main character has amnesia and the timeline is interesting
Movie where an undercover cop acts like he’s in the mafia and it gets wild at the end
Voice search interprets your request, searches across apps and content, and delivers results tailored to what you're looking for. It's designed to save you time and get you watching faster – something we can all get behind.
