A couple of days ago, Google released an updated version of the Google Mobile App for iPhone and iPod Touch. The updates primary purpose was to add Voice Search functionality to the app, allowing you to hold the iPhone to your ear and speak your search query into the microphone. Immediately, I began thinking of ways I could have fun with this.
So I searched for lewd things to see what would happen. The following is a list of things I searched for and the response I got instead. I warn you, these may be highly offensive to you and I have cleaned them up where I can, but you have been warned.
- boobies = movies
- breasts = breasts (only tried that one after boobies failed 3 times in a row and my wife prompted me to do so)
- t***y f**kers = city slickers
- <my wife’s first and last name> naked = <wife’s first name> cashmere kids
- naked hotness = naked hot mess
- Google Voice Search is broken = google voice surgery broken (my personal favorite)
So, as you can see, it’s not perfect. But it’s funny. And it does a good job with sensible requests. For example, I searched for “restaurants in kansas city” and it got it right the first time. I weep, however, for citizens with heavier accents attempting to use this feature.
