Google Voice search

One of my favorite iPhone app’s thus far is the Google Mobile App. This app allows you to simply speak into your phone’s mic rather than typing in a search term into Google.

googlegif To begin simply launch the Google Mobile App speak into your phone, it will then launch Google without having to navigate to google.com.

For example; on a recent road trip to Oregon I wanted to located a specific pizza parlor in Medford. I used the app to speak the name of the pizza parlor and city, then clicked on the google maps link that came up and quickly routed the path from where we were at the time while driving. It was just too easy and saved me time of not having to try and type in the search term on the screen.

Here’s a brief outline of features;

  1. Quick access to Google via speaking into the mic on the phone.
  2. Search by voice. Speak your queries instead of typing them.
  3. You Location is already known. Don’t have to specify your current location when searching for nearby businesses because it knows your geo location already.
  4. Google Suggest. Search for suggested queries and businesses that appear as you type.
  5. Search history. Quickly search again for queries you recently performed.
