Microsoft’s Tellme on Windows Mobile: Is voice the new touch?

Voice-recognition technology from Microsoft’s Tellme subsidiary will provide an alternative way of controlling and interacting with Windows Mobile 6.5 phones when they come out later this year, the company announced today.

Microsoft is touting voice as a competitive advantage for Windows Mobile. The company took the unusual step of singling out the iPhone in its news release today, saying it “requires four touches and more than 20 keystrokes to find a business with the Apple iPhone, while it only takes one button push and one verbal command to find the same business with Tellme.”

Here’s a video showing the technology in action.

Microsoft says the Tellme feature will be available for free through the Windows Marketplace for Mobile when Windows Mobile 6.5 debuts in the fall. It’s also making the technology available for free to mobile operators and carriers to offer pre-installed on mobile phones.
