Google Search app for iOS enhanced with voice search

Firstpost  

Siri has long been the sole dominating voice assistant for iOS devices. Google recently released the Search app with voice search for iOS devices. The new Google Search app for iPhone and iPad has an enhanced voice search that answers any question with comprehensive Google search results. The announcement states, “Getting an answer is as simple as tapping on the microphone icon and asking a question like, “Is United Airlines flight 318 on time?” Your words appear as you speak, you get your answer immediately and—if it’s short and quick, like the status and departure time of your flight—Google tells you the answer aloud.” You can get answers to an increasingly wide variety of questions thanks to Knowledge Graph, which gives Google’s search technology an understanding of people, places and things in the real world. “Play me a trailer of the upcoming James Bond movie.” The trailer starts playing immediately right within Google Search.
