The Google Mobile App (opens in iTunes, if you have it) for the iPhone is interesting to play around with. Not because its voice recognition is accurate; quite to the contrary. It doesn't seem to pick up my speech very well, so it's funny to see what it thinks I said. Consequently, it's not that useful to me. I still have to type my search queries if I want to actually search for something meaningful.
For example, I say Master Marf and it searches for [nastia mouse]. That isn't to say that it doesn't sometimes get what I wanted. But it can't be a very complex search. Single words or letters seems to work okay.

Hah! I figured out why I couldn't use the improved comment form! Firefox 3.5 has an option to allow third-party cookies, and it's unchecked by default. Or possibly I unchecked it myself. In any case, I checked it, and things work now.
ReplyDeleteI went to look at that option again to see exactly what it was called, and it's gone now! I no longer have any cookie-related options! Dammit Firefox, stop messing with my mind!
ReplyDelete@ Nathaniel: That's what you get for using a beta version. I stay up to date with final releases, but I'd rather not deal with the bugginess of betas.
ReplyDeleteI haven't used a beta version since 0.98 - I upgrade when Firefox prompts me to.
ReplyDelete@ Nathaniel: Well... The newest version is 3.0.14, not 3.5. That's why I assumed you were running a beta... 3.5 isn't out yet.
ReplyDeleteWait, scratch that... I guess it is out. Odd though that mine didn't update to it... I just now updated and it only went to version 3.0.14.
