Google Offers Free iPhone App – Advanced Voice Recognition

Share      

The NY Times reports that Google has created an app for the iPhone that will give the handset advanced voice recognition. The app will be able to answer user-generated location questions (Like finding the nearest Home Depot), give driving directions, respond to random questions, and even search data from an address book.

It works by recording something you say and uploading it to Google’s servers. Then, it crunches the data and returns with an answer within seconds. The app will be free and should be available for download by as soon as next week.
