Tellme announces voice search

The battle for the 411's is on. A lot of new developments are heading out the door at the Web 2.0 Conference well under way in San Francisco, and Tellme Networks has let people know about their new service, a 411 information request service called Tellme by Voice.

Microsoft owned Tellme Networks, a provider of voice enabled mobile search, believes that you should just have to say what you want, thus they have just announced a free service that expands the ways people can search for information from any phone. Similar to Google's GOOG 411 local voice search, users would simply speak into their phones, and they would be answered by hearing the result.

Tellme by Voice can be accessed by calling 1-800-555-TELL, and saying "business search" to find local business listings.
