Your buyers can now search listings by voice.
No other real estate IDX platform has native voice search. MLS Genie™ Voice Search lets buyers speak naturally — "show me 4-bedroom homes under $700K near good schools" — and get live MLS results instantly. No typing. No filter hunting. Just results.
Buyers search by voice everywhere else. Why not on your site?
Buyers already use Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant for every other search in their life. They think in natural language — "3-bedroom homes near good schools under $600K" — not filter dropdowns and price sliders. A site that understands how buyers actually talk converts more visitors into leads.
Voice Search is included in all MLS Genie™ plans via the [mlsg_voice] shortcode — drop it anywhere on your site: header, search page, homepage hero, or as a floating button in your navigation.
When you demo your site to a prospective listing client and tap the microphone to search — they've never seen that on an agent's website before. It's a conversation-stopper in the best possible way.
Three steps. Zero friction.
From tap to results in seconds — entirely within your branded site.
Buyer taps the mic
The voice search button appears wherever you place the [mlsg_voice] shortcode — header, hero, search page, or floating nav. One tap activates the microphone.
They speak naturally
The buyer describes what they want in plain language — bedrooms, budget, neighbourhood, schools, commute. No need to know your filter labels or listing categories. They just talk.
Live MLS results
Voice Search queries your imported MLS listings in real time and returns matched results ranked by relevance. Buyers land on your search results page with filters pre-applied — ready to browse.
One shortcode. Place it anywhere.
Add [mlsg_voice] to any page, widget, or template area and Voice Search appears. Optionally enable the nav menu integration to add a microphone icon to your main navigation — one setting toggle in GenieCRM™ Settings.
Voice Search is WCAG 2.1 AA compliant — full keyboard support, appropriate ARIA labels, and browser permission prompts handled correctly. Buyers with mobility limitations who already use voice input will feel right at home.
Everything you'd expect. A few things you wouldn't.
Voice Search is a complete feature set — not a proof of concept.
Natural Language Processing
Buyers speak naturally and the engine parses their intent — bedrooms, bathrooms, price range, neighbourhood name, school district, proximity requests. No rigid command syntax required.
Live MLS Results
Queries run against your actual GenieScout™ imported listings — not a third-party index. Buyers see your inventory, your listing data, and your listing pages. Always current.
Pre-Applied Filters
Parsed search criteria are passed directly to your listings search page as pre-applied filters. Buyers land exactly where they asked to be — no extra interaction required.
Shortcode Flexibility
Place [mlsg_voice] anywhere — Elementor widgets, PHP templates, theme areas, or block editor. Works with any WordPress theme.
Nav Menu Integration
One setting adds a microphone icon to your main navigation automatically — no custom code. Buyers always have voice search within reach no matter which page they're on.
WCAG 2.1 AA Accessible
Full keyboard access, correct ARIA roles, focus-visible states, and graceful degradation for unsupported browsers. Voice Search improves accessibility — not just convenience.
Voice Search questions answered
What browsers support Voice Search?
Voice Search uses the Web Speech API, which is supported in Chrome, Edge, and Safari on iOS 14.5+. Firefox does not currently support the Web Speech API. A text fallback is always available.
What kinds of queries can buyers speak?
Buyers can speak natural language queries like "show me three-bedroom homes under six hundred thousand near good schools" or "find condos in Lake Arrowhead with a lake view." The system parses bedrooms, price, location, property type, and amenities.
Does Voice Search work on mobile?
Yes. Voice Search is fully functional on mobile browsers. On iOS, Safari requests microphone permission on first use. On Android, Chrome handles microphone access automatically.
Is Voice Search available on all plans?
Voice Search is available as an add-on on Agent and Team plans and is included in Broker plans. Pricing is available on the add-ons section of our pricing page.
Does Voice Search affect my site's SEO?
No. Voice Search is a client-side interaction layer on top of your existing IDX search. It does not change your listing URLs, page structure, or schema markup.
