Sergey Brin and Larry Page

Recently, Google has taken searching to a next stage and announced that the company will be releasing an upgrade of its iPhone search application. The application will feature voice recognition. Therefore, next time when you are mobile, do not just type in your search term; all you need to do is to say it.

This new voice search application is expected to become available next Friday. When a user asks the application a question, the voice will be recorded and sent to the Google servers. Then, the voice will be analyzed and sent along to the Google search engine.
On the other hand, both Microsoft and Yahoo have voice services for handhelds. The Microsoft Tellme service can get us maps, directions, and movie times, while Yahoo’s oneSearch with Voice has a wider scope.

However, the Google system is not perfect, but it is targeted at outdoing everything what the competition offers. According to experts, Google’s advantage in this field is the ability to store and analyze vast amounts of data. This means that the service will be getting more accurate with time.

Another advantage over competitors should be the database of billions of queries that Google users have made. Those can be used to produce a statistical model of the way various words match to one another. The search application will also be using the accelerometer to activate its “Voice” mode - the user will only need to put the device next to an ear.
