Review. Yahoo's OneSearch with Voice

Stephen Shankland reviews voice-controlled search product, Yahoo's OneSearch with Voice on News.com.

... The best thing about the service, far and away, is that it frees you from your phone's keyboard. Even on finger-friendly phones such as the BlackBerry, typing is a pain. With voice control, you can run searches much more easily.

The service was useful for me on a number of occasions. It worked particularly well in a classic businessperson-on-the-go scenario, looking up hotel addresses and business phone numbers as I was en route.

Another plus: the voice-recognition software adjusts to your voice over time. I noticed it did indeed become more accurate over time.
