Technology: Google brings speech to search iPhone application


Voice commands on the phone aren't quite new to us now,but searching Google using your voice from your phone is something really new to us. The best thing is that you can use it and it's here,but the bad part is it's only available for the Apple�s iPhone. This feature might reach the Android market soon, but there isn�t any quick chance for markets such as Symbian.



It's quite easy to use the application.The application can answer location related questions (Finding the nearest Starbucks), give driving directions, respond to generic questions, and even search local data from the address book.It will record your voice, upload it to a Google Server via the data connection, process the data, and then return the results. Now, you may think that this process will take a long time but actually, the reports state it�s actually very quick. While not very perfect at this point, the new Google feature will be improved and will become big soon for sure.

The app will be free and might be available to download as soon as Friday
