As per posting made on NYTIMES.com, here, http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/14/technology/internet/14voice.html?_r=1&oref=slogin on Friday, Nov.14.2008 and no word from Apple. Is it caught in the AppStore approval, or is Apple going to veto this App for some reason? The PUBLIC wants to know! Give a voice location to the google application and it finds you the location/service.
WTF That's just creepy. When are they going to have a mindreading app. I want to be able to play games without my hands.
Gizmodo SAYS it's just now up...but I looked and it doesn't really seem to be. http://gizmodo.com/5091571/googles-iphone-voice-search-mobile-app-now-available Direct Link to App: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=284815942&mt=8
That isn't it. I don't see why people would think Google would get special treatment in the review process. They have to wait just like everyone else. Apple also likes to wait until Tuesdays so they can feature apps so that could be part of the hold up.
um... it's working just fine for me... I deleted the app and reinstalled it and the voice recognition was there...
It works, they just haven't updated the info in iTunes yet. It really weird. It works a little too well. You can use it for maps too. I have a slight Midwest accent and it has a hard time understanding me a little. In the first thing I asked it I said "what's the" (like thee) and it thought I said "woodsy." I think my phone's making fun of me.
Its under settings I think, I'll look later. Somewhere there is an option for what you want it to search. Does anyone know how to get it to look through your contacts? I have it selected for contacts, but when I say a name in my contacts it doesn't give it to me.
I'm in the maps part of settings, but that's really just normal google maps without any voice recognition. Unless I'm doing something wrong? Yeah, contacts isn't helpful either
lol, I can imagine. I actually seems set for a Californian accent. I'm from the Midwest and mixes up what i say a lot and my accent is slight. @everone asking about how to search in contacts and maps: just tap the magnifying glass in the left of the search entry box(where you would type) you can pick internet, maps, etc.
What is this California accent you speak of ? And I want to try it out but apple hasn't released the new touch headphones
