Voice Search App Hound Is Gunning For Siri, Google Now and Cortana

The boffins over at SoundHound just released a video of their Hound voice query app and it’s incredible. Unlike some voice recognition that needs you to speak slowly and clearly, the Hound team want you to be able to just talk normally.

The speed, accuracy and contextual ability of the app is crazy.

Check out the video below, but make sure you watch it all the way through to see how good the contextual awareness is. Or just skip to 1:40.

If you want to try it yourself be preapred to wait impatiently. For now the Hound app is in Beta and US and invite only.
