So we have seen a lot of videos in the past, comparing the voice recognition features on the iPhone and Windows Phones. Now on one hand we have Siri which is more of a personal assistant and understands text through a natural language user interface. Microsoft’s Tell Me however has special words or phrases which lets users find things easily which they need. But does this make one better over the other. Take a look at the video and you be the judge. Let us know in the comments what you think.
In a new Microsoft Tellme promo ad , we see how the future of Microsoft Tellme on Windows Phone might look like. It looks like you could just start taling to Windows Phone like you would to a person and it will get you results on what you are looking for and with Twitter and Facebook integrated right in to the OS it will take in to account what your friends recommend !!! Once it has the result it will tell you talk to you about the various result it has , the phone actually tries to talk to you and addresses you by your name .. I am not sure I am ready for that just yet. I would assume you will get a notification and if you choose to get it it will say it out to you, I believe no one would want their phone to just start speaking to them every now and then from their pocket ;).

Yahoo on Wed Apr 2 unveiled enhanced oneSearch software that lets people surf the Internet by speaking into their mobile telephones.
Along with letting people make online queries by saying what they are looking for, the application features an “assistant” for written searches that deduces what people want from the first few letters typed. “With Yahoo oneSearch 2.0, we are fundamentally changing the way consumers use the Internet on their mobile phones,” said Yahoo’s Connected Life division vice president Marco Boerries. Yahoo has partnered with 29 mobile telephone service carriers, representing 600 million customers, since the first version of oneSearch launched in early 2007, according to Boerries. The second-generation oneSearch software is free for download and installation to mobile telephones linked to the Internet.
Yahoo voice oneSearch is only available for BlackBerry @ the moment
