Google has just released a new version of its app in iPhone with voice capabilities. You can open the app, lift the phone to your ear and talk to search. This is a really cool feature and is something that integrates voice to search to vision (as results are displayed in the screen). This should hopefully kick start the generation of voice based apps .
I just upgraded to this new version of Google mobile app and it was good. It is not perfect, atleast the app didnt really recognize my accent correctly. But the idea of integrating voice with search is very impressive and hopefully the app should learn my accent and voice soon.

Is it similar to speech recognition on MS Word and does it have exercises to recognize your accent?
I havent used / tried speech recognition in ms-word but i didnt see any option for training the Google speech reco engine. I guess they would have trained this engine with GOOG-411 speech engine. Also as we start conversing more, it should learn and refine itself.
