Service details can be found on the Google Labs Laboratory website - http://labs.google.com/goog411/.

Google's new service could be the answer to Microsoft's acquisition of voice search service provider Tellme Networks for up to $ 800 million. This is Microsoft's biggest acquisition in the last 5 years.

Google has begun researching and developing voice search services since 2002. Details of this test are still maintained on the Google Labs website http://labs1.google.com/gvs.html /.

Improving the quality and reducing the cost of voice search technology has now attracted the top names such as Microsoft, Google and Yahoo.
