iPhone 5 Will Feature Voice Recognition With iOS 5 Update

A new report suggests that Apple has further established its relationship with Nuance; a speech recognition company that will supply the software for iOS 5 (the operating system we'll see featured on the iPhone 5).Its been speculated for quite some time that Apple was expected to enhance the iPhone's speech recognition capabilities, especially since Google has been clearly taking the lead with its own speech recognition which they boasted at a conference back in 2010.

However, Apple is now right in the speech recognition game and is expected to feature speech recognition software that will be in the form of a personal assistant thanks to it's acquisition of Siri (the name of the software owned by Nuance) last year.

There was some speculation surrounding whether Apple would integrate the voice software on time for their public announcement of iOS 5 this June, but everything seems to be right on track.

Most people presumed that the fifth generation operating system of much anticipated iPhone5 will highlight some key features like speech recognition software alongside some other key features; but with that being the biggest attraction (based on what we know so far at least).

According to the same report, an "anonymous tipster" had reported that people over at Microsoft were pushing Apple to adopt their voice recognition software and were quite disappointed when they were informed of Apple's acquisition of the company.

The report goes on to say that Apple and Nuance had been in "months and months of intense negotiations" as Apple wanted to be ensured the ability to build on the technology in which they own quite a few patents on.
