Dolphin Sonar is a feature that allows you to search, share and navigate the web with your voice. There are a few key features you should know about when it comes to Sonar. Here are a few ways you can get the best use out of it:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Search the web:<\/b> Dolphin Sonar can be used for four different searches:\n
      \n
    • Basic searching:<\/b> Use Google, Bing, Yahoo!, DuckDuckGo or Yandex: Say any word, for example \u201cnews\u201d, and Dolphin will search the web for it using your selected default search engine. The search engine can be changed by entering the URL bar and tapping the search engine icon to the left.<\/li>\n
    • Search in social media:<\/b> Say \u201cFacebook\u201d or \u201cTwitter\u201d followed by what you would like to search for, and Dolphin will look it up. For example \u201cTwitter Lady Gaga\u201d<\/li>\n
    • Shopping:<\/b> Say \u201cAmazon\u201d or \u201ceBay\u201d followed by what\u2019s on your shopping list, and Dolphin will find what you are looking for. For example \u201ceBay Nike shoes\u201d.<\/li>\n
    • Enjoy YouTube:<\/b> Say \u201cYouTube\u201d in combination with a search word, and let Dolphin do the rest. For example \u201cYouTube dogs\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • Open websites:<\/b> Dolphin Sonar knows more than 500 websites by name. Say \u201cFacebook\u201d and Dolphin will go to the site. If Dolphin does not know the website, it will search for it using your default search engine.<\/li>\n
    • Browser actions:<\/b> Dolphin Sonar can be used to navigate the browser. Say things like \u201cback\u201d, \u201cbottom of page\u201d, \u201cnew tab\u201d, etc. and Dolphin will execute the desired browser action. See Full list of Dolphin Sonar browser actions for an overview.<\/li>\n
    • Sharing:<\/b> Say \u201cshare\u201d to easily share what you are browsing using the Dolphin or Android built-in sharing options, like Facebook, Twitter, Evernote, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      So let\u2019s say you want to take your friends out to pizza in the city. Start by shaking your phone to access Sonar. Then say, \u201cYelp best pizza in San Francisco\u201d and you\u2019ll be taken directly to Yelp with a list of the best pizzerias in the city. Next you could say \u201cshare\u201d to send a link over to your friends through Facebook<\/p>\n

      You can also access Sonar by swiping up on the Dolphin button at the bottom of the screen and switching over to Dolphin Sonar. Depending on your preference, You can enable or disable the shake to activate feature by accessing Dolphin menu > Settings > Gesture & Sonar. Choosing the Sonar tab on top of the screen and enabling \u201cShake to Activate.\u201d<\/p>\n
