Inspired By Google, Microsoft Adds Voice Command Feature To Bing Search

It's been almost a year since Google introduced a feature that allows iPhone owners to search the Web using voice commands , and now Microsoft is getting into the game, too. As announced on the Bing Search blog , Sprint Wireless' brand new Samsung Intrepid phone now comes equipped with a fresh voice user interface from Tellme , a speech-recognition company that was acquired by MS in early 2007. As the video below demonstrates, you can use the new interface to search the Web by speaking your search query, compose a text message or dial a contact by simply talking instead of typing.
