Speech Search: Simple, Free Speech Recognition for Searching Google, Wolfram|Alpha, and Blogs

While very useful, Speech Recognition software can cost hundreds of dollars for a license.  This solution is hardly cost-efficient when considering that most computer interaction is in the form of Google search queries of less than 20 words in length.

I built SpeechSearch and SpeechWolfram to take advantage of the HTML5 API, as well as Google’s robust voice recongition APIs and provide a simple website for searching Google, Wolfram|Alpha, Facebook, and Lifehacker (an example blog), all without touching your keyboard.  Try it now (requires Chrome 11 Beta or greater):
