Tired of typing a text entry? Then, perhaps, you need the Google speech activated search, which can be used on the iPhone:
“…The application is considerably intelligent, according to the Times, and can answer full questions such as “Where is the nearest Starbucks?” or “How tall is Mount Everest?” The query of “What is the best pizza restaurant in Noe Valley?” returned a list of three restaurants in the San Francisco neighbourhood, complete with reviews from Google users and links to phone numbers and directions.
The queries are converted into digital sound files and transmitted to Google’s servers, which process the request and deliver the answers…”

It is not surprising that Google is advancing this artificial intelligence technology. Marissa Mayer, the Google Vice President for Search Products and User Experience, did her undergraduate and graduate work in artificial intelligence. One would expect that Google has a very high level executive interest to be a leader in this sector.

People don’t do research on an iphone. They do it on their desktop or notebook or UMPC. I found some voice recognition software named Tazti speech recognition that actually is a free download and performs voice searches of Google, Yahoo, MSN, Wikipedia, Amazon, eBay and many other websites. It also lets me log into and navigate Facebook and Myspace by talking to my PC. tazti also lets me control my iTunes music player bu talking to my PC. It really works well.
Here’s their youtube demo video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1tt_aeIAM8
