Microsoft has launched a new version of their Windows Live Search mobile search application to go heads-to-head with Google Maps. We all know and love Google Maps ability to find just what we need and pinpoint that particular need on a map, but Live Search for Windows Mobile is about to take it one step further - with voice/speech recognition.
Live Search for Windows Mobile with voice input. The updated Live Search for Windows Mobile 5.0 and 6.0 will be available for download for free on Tuesday, Oct. 16, and now includes voice input (beta version), gas prices, and hours of operation for businesses. The service can also use Global Positioning System (GPS) data on GPS-enabled phones to provide location-aware local search for customers.
Typing (or tapping, if you don’t have a full keyboard) out a search query can be a trying experience. The new Live Search for Windows Mobile wants to make it easier to find just what you need, in a jiff. Simply speak your query into your mobile phone’s microphone and Live Search will translate your speech into a mobile query and retrieve your information - all without having to look down at your phone or concentrate on hitting the right keys.
Download the new Windows Live Search for Windows Mobile now. Head on over to the Live Search website to find the right download for you. Keep in mind, the voice-recognition feature is only available for the Windows Mobile 5.0 and 6.0 platform.
