| Google’s new voice recognition search engine for the iPhone has hit a glitch - it is stumped by British accents. The application developed in the U.S cannot recognise regional twangs.Users say the technology mistook the word ‘iPhone’ for ’sex,’ ‘Einstein’ and even ‘kitchen sink’. The Google Mobile App is designed to work just like the traditional search engine. Rather than typing a query on the iPhone, users speak their search term and then view the results on the screen. Saying the word pizza should spring up a selection of local pizza restaurants and invite you to call them with a single click of the phone.
