Talk and search with Google

0 Comments/ in News / by Jimmy Liew

After some wait, the Google Mobile App (iTunes link) has been updated with new features, included the much awaited voice search.

That’s why we’ve added voice search to Google Mobile App for the iPhone — and made it super easy to use. Once the app is running, you don’t have to tap any buttons. Just hold the iPhone to your ear, wait for the beep, and say what you’re looking for — Googleblog

As much as I’d like to try, Google has disabled the voice search for iPod Touch, even with a plugged-in earphones with mic. Hopefully they will enable in the next update since some iPhone users will prefer to speak with the earphones.

Another new feature is the use of My Location to provide better search results based on your location.

If you have tried it, especially with Singaporean search topics, let me know how it goes!

Do note that this is only available via the US iTunes store.
