Google Mobile iPhone App with Speech Recognition
Google released a new feature for its Google Mobile iPhone Application yesterday: voice search. Users speak a query and the application returns search results formatted for the iPhone. This is similar to the GOOG411 directory assistance application, which allows users to call a phone number, speak a query and receive information about local listings in voice or SMS formats. However the new application apparently performs recognition locally on the iPhone, meaning it comes bundled with an embedded speech recognition engine.
Aside from GOOG411, during the US presidential Google released Gaudi, a voice indexing technology for video. That makes the iPhone app the third official service the company releases, making use of speech recognition, leaving one guessing when Google’s speech technology becomes available as API, like the Google AJAX Language API for translation and transliteration, rather than bundled as software services. Also, an Android version is probably in the works, one would guess.
All applications are available in US English for now.

I think it’s going to turn out to be a lame recycling of the same theme that was used on the Thing on the secret wars planet– that Banner will think he has discovered something that can turn Hulk permanently safe for humanity, only to learn when he comes back that he could have done it at any time (the old Wizard of Oz dodge) but has lost the opportunity and now he will always be the hulk. Then, when he gets back, Betty will have fallen for someone else, like Doc Samson. Same old storyline.
