Google Bringing Voice Search To iPhone

I love how everyone's question is always Where's the nearest starbucks.

Gotta have that coffee...

Sounds pretty hot. I just hope the delay between the server translating the speech file,
and displaying the results, isn't large, otherwise it won't be as useful as I'd like it to be.

"find nearest dry cleaners."

hopefully the new version of the app can help with that.

And there are many other iPhone applications that can do that and then map it for you. The success of this will depend on the quality of the Google interpreter and the speed. I have yet to have much success with Midomi or Shazam, so I'm not getting my hopes up.

Now if there was an iPhone app that let me speak the name of one of my contacts and then dial it automatically, that would be useful. :)

That really doesn't apply here in NYC. Just walk 1-2 blocks, you'll hit one no matter where you are. :)

Certainly hope the interpreter works well. Otherwise, it will just be like when you call an 800 number and the automated operator says "please answer 'yes' or 'no'" you scream no and it takes it as a yes.

"Say who" dialer. works well.

And assuming that google can distinguish accents. The DS Braintraining game is rather annoying when it doesn't recognise that you said "paper" just because you didn't say it Americanly.

There are a few... Just search for "voice dial" or similar. "Say Who - Dialer" is a free one that pops up in a search. Haven't tried any of them, but they do exist.

Yeah, I AM American and I couldn't get Brain Age to work right. It thought I was a numbskull because it could never understand me when I said the names of colors on one of its games. "Red. Yellow. Red. Blue. Blue. BLUE. BLUE #@%@$%@#%!!!!!!!!! *throw DS*"
