Say Where for iPhone offers speech-based search

Posted Mon, Oct 6, 2008 2:00 PM by AppleInsider Staff
Dial Directions on Monday announced the availability of Say Where (Free, App Store), which it's billing as the first ever iPhone application to let users speak locations and business searches (instead of typing) to access popular websites for mapping, reviews and information.
 
Among the features of the new app are:
 
  • Voice-recognition of locations – Users can say any place: an address, intersection, business search, or point of interest (like “524 Broadway”, “Delfina Pizzeria” or “dog parks”)

  • Voice-entry to popular location-based content like Google Maps, CitySearch, Yelp and others


Dial Directions has posted a video demo of the app to YouTube, which can be seen below:
