Today’s Macsimum iPhone video demonstrates Google’s new “Voice Search” on an iPhone, using voice recognition technology. With Google Mobile App, users can virtually ask their iPhone any question like, “Where is the nearest Starbucks?” or “How old is the oldest man in the world?”
The application converts the audio to a digital file that is sent to Google’s servers, which try to determine which words were spoken and send them to Google search engine. With the use of the iPhone’s built-in GPS, Google can give local results, reports iPhone Buzz.
Google Mobile App is available for download here.
