Google Mobile App now has Voice Search!
Tuesday, November 18, 2008 | 1:57 PM
We're pleased to launch an updated version of the Google Mobile App that makes it possible for you to do a Google web search using only your voice. Just hold the phone to your ear, wait for the beep, and say what you're looking for. After you speak your query, Google Mobile App will return search results formatted for your iPhone.
And if you're doing a local search, there's no need to specify where you are because Google Mobile App now has Search with My Location. For this to work, Location Services must be enabled on your iPhone and you have to opt-in to let Google Mobile App use your location.
To download the App, go to the App Store and look for "Google Mobile App." Note that the voice search feature is currently available only in U.S. English and for the iPhone. You can read more about other features here: http://www.google.com/mobile/apple/app.html

We hope you'll enjoy using Google Mobile App and want to hear what you think! Please post any feedback or bugs in this thread for quick reference.
Cheers,
Bret
