These days, Blackberry seems to be a popular device for voice based mobile applications. Only last week, Yahoo! had released Mobile Voice search for Blackberry. Now Tellme, a Microsoft subsidiary, has announced the addition of a free, GPS location based voice search program for Blackberry smartphones. Instead of typing in a request or scrolling through menus to find information, people can simply hold down the ‘talk’ button, say a keyword and see the results on the phone’s screen, based on their physical GPS location. Then they can select an option to call the location, map it, get directions, or share the link with someone else.

All the voice recognition processing and rendering happens on Tellme’s servers, not on your mobile phone, similiar to Vlingo. The ability to speak a request and see the results not only allows faster entry of data but also provides a more natural, intuitive process for viewing and navigating results.

Here are some of the things you can do with TellMe for Blackberry:

Business Finder: Say the name of a business or business category, such as “coffee” or “hardware” driving directions, an option to call the business or share the listing with a friend.

Traffic: Say “traffic” and get a map with traffic conditions on major local routes, all using Live Search Virtual Earth.

Weather: Say “weather” and see a five-day forecast for your local area or say a different city to see weather for any other U.S. city.

Maps: Say “map” and, using GPS and Live Search Maps, see a map of the local area or say a new city and the map is automatically updated.

Driving Directions: Say “driving directions” and speak or type a destination to see step-by-step directions from your current starting location.

TellMe hopes to add sports scores, train schedules, voice dialing, text-message dictation and other functions to the service in the future.
