I can confirm, the app is available and it works as promised! Download the app here then the first thing you need to do is change the settings to turn voice search on. Once that is done, search away in your best North American accent! I say “North American” because apparently the app works best with North American accents. :)
I tried a couple of searches and all worked as promised. I searched for “what time is it in Hong Kong” and the results were identical to what you would see normally with the time appearing at the top.
I also tried searching “the next web” and it worked perfectly!
Get this app now, no ifs or buts.
People don’t do research on an iphone. They do it on their desktop or notebook or UMPC. I found some voice recognition software named “Tazti” speech recognition that actually is a free download and performs voice searches of Google, Yahoo, MSN, Wikipedia, Amazon, eBay and many other websites. It also lets me log into and navigate Facebook and Myspace by talking to my PC. Tazti also lets me control my iTunes music player by talking to my PC. It really works well. I’ll use the iPhone Speech recognition to hunt for restaurants.
Here’s their youtube demo video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1tt_aeIAM8
tazti is a free download from http://www.tazti.com
@Adam, i agree people will research primarily on their computer. But if you watch the iphone search video demo, it’s extremely useful when searching for nearby restaurants, the time in another location and the hundreds of other useful searches google provides.
