Google launches voice search for iPhone users
18 November, 2008
Google has added voice search to Google Mobile App for the iPhone. The new feature, currently available only in US English and for the iPhone, allows users to do a Google web search using their voice.
To use the service, an iPhone user would need to hold the phone to his ear, wait for the beep, and say what he is looking for. After the user speaks his query, Google Mobile App will return search results formatted for the iPhone, according to Google .
Trust Google to come out with one killer app after another.
This is basically an update on their earlier Google app for the iPhone.
I tried to use the voice functionality, but it was a 50-50 for me, even after I tried to put on an "north american" accent as recommended by Google.
Still, the concept takes "search" leaps ahead.
