Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
The video that some sites link to now says it is “unavailable”, but this new YouTube video, still up at the time of publishing this article, succinctly shows just how cool a voice enabled search experience can be.
If you haven’t seen it, and want to know what all the fuss is about, click it quick before it too gets pulled off the Internet.
My take is that the app’s non-appearance is just a minor storm in a teacup, and no matter what reason Apple is delaying the app’s appearance, it will soon appear for free download to any iPhone user that wants it, presumably including any second generation iPod Touch user with the microphone headset as well.
My original article on the Google voice search app can be found here.
An alternate voice search app for desktops, notebooks, netbooks and UMPC’s (but not the iPhone) is called Tazti (pronounced tasty), and while this is not voice dictation software like Dragon Naturally Speaking 10, it performs the same computer voice control tricks (such as voice command of iTunes, your browser, different search engines and more), while being totally free of charge.
However PC and Mac users wanting both voice control of their computers and speech recognition will need the commercially availabe "Nuance Dragon Naturally Speaking 10" on Windows machines and "iListen" on Macs.
Expect Google's new voice enabled Mobile App to appear soon!
