Google launches Voice Search shorties

Voice search, is something of a hit and miss in these here parts of the world. Though it’s not the voice recognition technology that’s to blame. More often than not its the context of the words that a person uses to search using speech on Google and also there’s a matter of localised names and terms that we use everyday in our searches.

So although being able to search the web hands-free is a boon, the inconvenience of having to repeat yourself a number of times to get the search term right is not. But that’s not saying that Google Voice Search is completely useless, and to illustrate how useful searching using just your voice can be Google has just released a series of short videos on its official Google Mobile YouTube channel. It’s also kind of cool that the videos are interactive.

Yeah, it’s all very Americanised but we have to say that Google’s voice recognition technology is pretty accurate even with non-American or British speaking tongues like us here in Malaysia.

Having said that however, we’d like to see Google attempt things a bit more localised considering that it has offices all over the world and not only Americans use Google search.

So what do you say Google, how about a Malaysian version of these Search by Voice short videos of yours?

Check out all the video shorts after the jump.
