The accuracy is a hit and miss. The app is quite good in recognizing words with distinctive sounds. I said “IKEA brooklyn”,”The Chocolate Room Brooklyn” and “The Spotted Pig New York” and it returned the right results. It didn’t understand my name (of course, who knows Hui is not pronounced wii?) or “Ugg Soho”.
However, the times when it gets it right, it is insanely convenient. I only tried it for looking up directions, because I have long dreamt of voice search on the GMap iPhone app. This is a great way to combat the difficulty in typing on the iPhone.
The design is extremely elegant and user friendly as always. See for yourself:
Expand map on the spot.
Click on map to launch GMap in iPhone.
Can also click on Get Directions and launch GMap on iPhone.
