## About this Hook

This Hook lets users perform voice-based queries.

The `useVoiceSearch` Hook isn't part of React InstantSearch,
but you can make a custom version with [`useConnector`](/doc/api-reference/widgets/connector/react)
and [`connectVoiceSearch`](/doc/api-reference/widgets/voice-search/js#customize-the-ui-with-connectvoicesearch).

## Examples

<CodeGroup>
  ```jsx JavaScript theme={"system"}
  import { useConnector } from "react-instantsearch";
  import connectVoiceSearch from "instantsearch.js/es/connectors/voice-search/connectVoiceSearch";

  export function useVoiceSearch(props) {
    return useConnector(connectVoiceSearch, props);
  }

  export function VoiceSearch(props) {
    const {
      isBrowserSupported,
      isListening,
      toggleListening,
      voiceListeningState,
    } = useVoiceSearch(props);

    return <>{/* Your JSX */}</>;
  }
  ```

  ```tsx TypeScript theme={"system"}
  import { useConnector } from "react-instantsearch";
  import connectVoiceSearch from "instantsearch.js/es/connectors/voice-search/connectVoiceSearch";

  import type {
    VoiceSearchConnectorParams,
    VoiceSearchWidgetDescription,
  } from "instantsearch.js/es/connectors/voice-search/connectVoiceSearch";

  export type UseVoiceSearchProps = VoiceSearchConnectorParams;

  export function useVoiceSearch(props?: UseVoiceSearchProps) {
    return useConnector<VoiceSearchConnectorParams, VoiceSearchWidgetDescription>(
      connectVoiceSearch,
      props,
    );
  }

  export function VoiceSearch(props: UseVoiceSearchProps) {
    const {
      isBrowserSupported,
      isListening,
      toggleListening,
      voiceListeningState,
    } = useVoiceSearch(props);

    return <>{/* Your JSX */}</>;
  }
  ```
