American teens are more likely to use voice search on their smartphones than are adults. About 55 percent of the 18-and-under crowd use Cortana, Google Voice Search or Siri more than once a day. While the majority of U.S. teens (55 percent) use hands-free search every day, the number goes up to 75 percent among teens who are heavy users of smartphones (using it 11-plus hours per day). Adults are, well, behind the teens but adults are certainly using voice search, with 41 percent talking to their phones every day.
