Google's "enhanced" voice search lands in iOS App Store

Google is aiming to chip away at Siri, potentially converting some iOS device users to its own side along the way. The company announced on Tuesday that its updated Google Search app for iOS is now available on the App Store, complete with its new "enhanced" voice search capabilities that Google discussed in August.

According to Tuesday's Google Blog post, the new voice search feature aims to better recognize the context and intent of your searches while providing "the comprehensive Google search results you know and love."

Indeed, some of the provided examples (along with the promotional video, embedded below) show Google's voice search giving better results for certain kinds of requests—such as "what does Yankee Stadium look like?"—than Siri does for those same requests. But for others, such as "when does daylight saving time end," or "who's in the cast of The Office," I found that Siri could provide those same answers just as easily.
