Well, on the one hand maybe Google should have created this voice search only for Android, just to convince consumers to switch to it, but on the other hand with launching this app for iPhone Google got the share of Apple`s market, which is not bad also…
Thanks, nice review!

How does it know if you’re looking for pictures or if pictures is part of the search parameters?

Do you have to go through a menu selection to opt between normal text search and image search?

Thanks Barry.

Hmm, worked fine, until I tried to find Jon Honeyball’s blog!

The app itself is just called Google on the iPhone. You’ll find the voice feature under the search menu.

What is the app called? I tried looking on the store, but under Google, Google Voice and Google Search, there wasn’t anything obvious…

David I’m not sure many here will understand what you mean by Norn Iron lingo. Perhaps they (and google) need to use this handy guide:

It doesn’t handle my Norn Iron lingo too well either. Nintey-nine times out of one hundred it’s still easier to just type it in. Alas, I still feel I look a perfect exhibitionist idiot speaking ‘all pronounced like’ into my phone while parading down the street or in the office anyway. Not to mention pretty much everything that’s clickable in said app takes you into Safari. Hardly a killer app on any platform More a user friendly gateway to Google
