Google Search Gets Speech Recognition

This one is a completely innovative application. What else would you say when you heard you could now search the web on Mobile by just using your voice commands. Hang on, its only Google search! So that saves users the effort to type out words in the Google search engine. With Google taking the initiative, soon other search engines may also support this type of application.

Here goes a little extract from the blog post:

“Too busy to type out your Google search? Or are ya just too lazy? Either way, Google has been thinking about these scenarios lately. with their introduction of voice recognition in its Google Mobile Search app. The voice support is designed specially for the Indian accent. The voice recognition technology is currently available for Nokia S60 users only.

The application also minimizes any typing while using the mobile keypad using ‘Google Suggests’. Nokia mobile users can download the free-to-use Google Search mobile application from m.google.com/search. Mobile users can go to the same address for downloading the application directly to their mobiles.”
