Google has just released Google Voice Local Search. It is a free service that returns search results over the phone from voice recognition technology. Yo can try it at 1-800-GOOG-411. A statement from the Google’s About Voice Local Search page. reads: “Using this service, you get fast access to the same local information you’d find on Google Maps. But you don’t need a computer, you don’t need an Internet connection, and you don’t even need to use your cell-phone keypad.”
Google Voice Local Search has the potential to be a very useful and helpful tool. According to Google the system is very easy to use. You ask your query, it sends you the results, and then you can say another query, and so on. It is an interesting idea but how well does it work? It seems that Google was very quiet about their launch, so the new system is not overwelmed.
