Yahoo! oneSearch with Voice is a mobile application in collaboration and powered by Vlingo, which enables users to search the web by speaking into their mobile device. It targets users who are on the go. For example, users may search for weather, flight numbers, sport results, local restaurants or businesses and everything else. Since adding voice, it has demonstrated the ability to increase the number of average searches per user by over 35% across the same mobile device models.

The application is designed exclusively for Blackberry and it is one of the first mobile voice product launched at CTIA, Las Vegas, 2008.
