Microsoft adds speech recognition to Live Search

If your hands and fingers are beat up from too much typing on your Windows Mobile piece, we may (or may not) have just the solution for you. Available now, Microsoft has released an updated version of Live Search for both Windows Mobile 5 and 6 that incorporates speech recognition for business listings and locations. Other gee-whiz features include searches for gas prices, hours of operations for business, and even being able to connect to your GPS for location-based stuff.

VoiceSignal ports voice recognition software to iPhone

Those not preoccupied with unlocking their iPhone may be interested in what VoiceSignal's talking about, as it has apparently ported several of its applications to Apple's handset. Currently deemed "proof-of-concept applications," both VSearch (speak for search keywords) and VTunes (speak a band you'd like to hear) enable users to simply talk to their mobile and allow the software to handle the rest. Of course, speech recognition apps can be explained much better with, you know, sound, so be sure and check out the video of VTunes in action after the break.
