Voice search on Google app for iPhone

iPhone is an incredible device. The entire medical literature (available on the internet) is in your hand. However, typing those long medical terms can sometimes be a pain.

Enter Google app with voice search. Just say the term as if you are talking with the phone and the application recognizes the search and outputs the results.

I wonder how well it would do if I searched for Bannayan-Zonana-Riley Syndrome!

(This app is yet to be released on the iTunes app store)

Update: November 17, 2008

Google search application has launched on the app store (iTunes Link).

Unfortunately, it did not work for Bannayan-Zonana Riley Syndrome. However, it was pretty good at recognizing most common diseases although it searched for “no motivation” a couple of times when I was searching for “adenoma sebaceum.” I did finally get it right.

Amazing!
