Great tips Matt, I just asked google what the square root of 1000 was and it told me in less than a second with NO typing, now we need voice for Gmail and Google Talk! Awesome app - Kelly Johns
I just added one more bonus tip that I forgot. :) - Matt Cutts
Kelly, I do like how the voice recognition works with the calculator. :) - Matt Cutts
Yes, and it works great for conversions, I asked it how many ounces in a pound and it gave it to me fast, the accuracy is amazing -- not to mention how good the local search is with easy to click telephone numbers and everything. A "restaurant" search comes up with some great local info. - Kelly Johns

Blog post is here: http://googlemac.blogspot.com/... and I found the help documentation online at http://www.google.com/support/... - Matt Cutts
woah Matt Cutts on friendfeed - nice to see you on here! :) - Zee from WeDoCreative
I just saw the voice search is turned off by default for non-U.S. users. To turn it on, click "Settings" and slide "Voice Search" to the ON position. - Matt Cutts
this app is really great. g did an amazing job. - felix
felix, glad it works well for you! I'll pass the feedback on to the team, but they probably read here anyway. :) - Matt Cutts
I've been trying various addresses and it works pretty well with them too though sometimes if I pause too long while saying the address the search starts too soon. - Loren Heiny
Loren, after some practice you start to get a feel for what timing works best. - Matt Cutts
got a video here giving a run through, works great! http://www.seanpercival.com/bl... - sean percival
this app just made 5 or more apps I was using obsolete! - Kelly Johns
the local search aspect of this is amazing, it knows your location so you just speak the listing you are looking for and it appears on your iphone, brilliant! - Kelly Johns
agree with Kelly. I wouldn't use it for regular search queries but for local search its great. Saves opening up Maps, hitting the locate me button and then typing your query. - Jamie
Android is the elephant in the room here. Will the G1 be getting a voice search app soon? - David Erickson
This looks amazingly cool - andy brudtkuhl
Just curious, what about Nokia devices version? - Majento
David Erickson, I'm guessing that Android support is high on the want-to-do list, but I'll mention it to them. - Matt Cutts

It doesn't seem to like British accents sadly. - Sally Church
Sally, I think they wanted to launch with good U.S. accent recognition, but I'm sure that the team will be looking at making it work well for as many people as they can. - Matt Cutts
This would be nice for taking quick notes and reminders too (if it had/has that feature) - Paul Buchheit
How about opening the browser 'internally', like in twitterrific for example, instead of redirecting to the safari app? in any case, great job :) - george tziralis
Paul and george, I'll pass on the suggestions.. - Matt Cutts
Yes, keeping the browser within the app would be great, also the cool thing about the app is when I type one of my contact's name, it pulls them up on the list and I can click to call them -- however, if I speak their name it goes direct to a google search. The suggestion feature is amazing... - Kelly Johns
