Good ol’ Google keeps improving its products and services. Their latest gig involves the Voice Search, which just got support for 13 new languages, including Basque, Bulgarian, Catalan, European Portuguese, Finnish, Galician, Hungarian, Icelandic, Norwegian, Romanian, Serbian, Slovak and Swedish. This brings the total language count to 42 languages and accents in 46 countries. Pretty impressive.
If your smartphone or tablet runs Android 2.2 (Froyo) or higher and you have the Google Search widget on your homescreen, you’re good to go. Simply tap the microphone icon and say the phrase in any of the supported languages. Otherwise, if you have an ancient device – you’ll have to download the app from the link below.
Bear in mind that you can only speak one language into the app at a time, and you may need to change your language settings to use one of new languages… Love how these guys are service its users…

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
