The 4-1-1 on google

without comments

Google just rolled out a new free 411 service. You can access this awesome service by dialing 1(800)GOOG-411. It prompts you for City & State, then a business name or type. After selecting the business it will connect you automatically. Never again will I have to look up the number for Little Caesers!

The service is completely automated. It uses speech recognition to figure out what you say and some text to speech processor to give you the results. The best part? I hear it uses Nuance’s Dragon engine for Speech Recognition.
