Blimey, crikey and bloody hell, the new iPhone voice-recognition tool can't do British accents.
According the the Daily Telegraph, the new US-developed Google application can't understand what the blooming heck us Limeys are on about. The much vaunted free programme is supposed to give quick access to search results, event listings and so on. Unless you're a Brit. That's not exactly top hole, is it?The Telegraph found that a search for "iPhone" variously returned results for "sex', "sledding", "my sister" and "Einstein". When a Welsh accent was used the result was "gorillas" and "kitchen sink". That's rubbish, as the Yanks wouldn't say.
