Fish? Sex? What’s The Difference??

By Adam B. on November 20, 2008

mermaidNow that Google has released Voice Search for it’s Google Mobile App for iPhone, reports of problems with the speech recognition are being reported.

Evidently, Voice Search works really well in North America, but is posing some challenges for users Britain.

For example, one user spoke a search for “fish,” only to retrieve the search results for “sex.”

Of course, we at Speech Tech Blog can relate.  Every time I do any type of web search, I only get search results about sex.  But maybe that’s just me.
