Google Voice Search for iPhone

Google added new Google Mobile App for iPhone which brings voice search to Apple's smartphone. The application is now available on the iPhone App Store.

v2.0 of the app should allow people to simply speak what they want to find into an iPhone's microphone, and receive a list of results, with suggested interpretations of what a person said. Searches can include both web and contact results, but there are no voice commands in the software for dialing or e-mailing a person. Instead, users must tap on a contact.

The voice search function of the tool needs to be activated in the settings option and the instructions say that it only works in English and is geared towards a North American accent.
