Google’s geeks have been hard at work developing a slick voice recognition app for mobile devices that allows you to use voice commands to generate search results. According to TechCrunch the folks at Google were all fired up to have the app ready for download last Friday but for whatever reason, Apple failed to get it in the store. Speculation abounds as to why, but who really knows. Word is you should be able to snag it for your iPhone tomorrow. I’m pretty sure you’ll see an Android based version follow on its heels. Here’s a video produced by Google showing the app in action:

Let me know what you think of it once you try it. I’ll let you be the guinea pig on this

What languages will it initially be available in?

Kent, I have no idea, I’m sure we will see when it shows up in the app store.
Drew,
Do you think it will understand if I ask it to Zestimate the value of my home? We’ll see

If not, just use Jott. It’s great for Twitter or Facebook too.

I’ll be keeping my eye out for this one as well. Any idea what the app will be named?

Yes it is. I downloaded it last night and did a little write-up on it early this morning. Pretty impressive app!

Makes me wonder about my getting a Blackberry Curve recently or if I should have gone with the iPhone. The capabilities are just awesome.

The voice search is extremely impressive. I used it while on the road yesterday to search my destination, it displayed the address and displayed a linked phone number, one click and I was connected. Sweet.
