I am a BIG fan of Google. You might not agree completely, but I reserve my opinion on Google cannot be evil. They released a new app for your Nokia (Symbian S60) phones, Blackberry and iPhone that is voice recognition enabled. You hold the ‘Call’ button and you speak what you want to search – Google confirms it and searches automatically – A feature that would be killer when you can’t look at your phone while searching. for e.g. while driving (pun not intended, honestly!)
The weird part is that Google does not offer an offline installer for those who would like to save those extra kilobytes of bandwidth on their Pay-As-You-Go GPRS/EDGE connection. So I decided to host one myself
A few of the features of Google Voice Search are:
Comprehensive Google results. Get Universal Search on your phone including web, image, local, video, blog, news, books, and maps results to find what you’re looking for.
Relevance and speed. From weather forecasts to movie showtimes, find common search answers right away without clicking any links.
Results formatted for your phone. See a mobile-optimized blend of universal search results, easy-to-press tap-to-call links, expandable map links, and more.
Wide availability. Access Google through the browser in 38 languages on any phone with internet access.
Easy access. Make Google your home page in your mobile browser to search even faster.
Quick access to Google. Launch Google without having to navigate to google.com.
Search by voice.* Speak your queries instead of typing them (English only).
My Location. Avoid typing your current location when searching for nearby businesses (e.g. “pizza” or “starbucks”).
Google Suggest. Search for suggested queries and businesses that appear as you type.
Search history. Quickly search again for queries you recently performed.
