no i think n900 is a smartphone. And any smartphone should be able to do voice search.

Wow, now weren't those some positive answers... Maybe there is some open source speach recognition software somebody could build a voice search application on to.

Its possible. Maemo's devs can do it eithout breaking a sweat. As far as i understand, all work is done on google's servers, we just need somebody to make it work

Espeak seems like a good idea. Maybe voice search can be implemented?

I'm interested. I'm a developer.
However: Google voice search has no public API.
There have been some people out there who have figured out that the way Android does it is to record the users speech in the speex codec, send it to the google voice servers which processes it and sends back results.

I have no knowledge of voice codecs, so when I looked at the speex library, it seems complicated because I don't understand most of the jargon.

Also: I've got an ulterior motive: If I do it, I will necessarily do it in QT so that it can be ported to Windows and Linux in addition to Symbian and Maemo.
Why Windows and Linux? Because I sorely need a voice recognition method to be able to be keyboard free - on Linux.
