Google iPhone Search App Problems with British Accents
by Wyatt WalterOn Monday, Google’s new voice search application for the iPhone hit the iTunes AppStore. It’s a free application that allows users to speak their search text to perform Google searches. The application works great.. as long as you have an American accent. It’s been reported to be returning especially strange results for users with British accents. The Daily Telegraph, a newspaper in the U.K. has reported that users had the device interpret the word “iPhone” for several different words including “sex”, “sledding”, “my sister”, and “Einstein” (I hope they’re not related..). Google has stated that the application is available in U.S. English only so far, but there were definitely some confused users before the clarification was made. The application actually works quite well with an American accent but has made for some confusing and funny search queries.
