Iphone App SayWhere

You get used to typing on the iPhone after some time, but punching in addresses to look up directions is by far the biggest drag. Especially when your driving. That now could be kind of dangerous. DialDirections was the first to introduce speech-recognition capabilities to the iPhone with SayWhere, which translates users' speech into queries for Google Maps, Yelp, Traffic or Yellow Pages. It's a nifty app, especially for keeping drivers' eyes on the road rather than the iPhone's virtual keyboard. Download SayWhere Free from the App Store.
I played around with SayWhere for about 10 minutes looking for all my previous home addresses, and was surprisingly intrigued. SayWhere nailed every last one on the head. I even tried the find a business functionality, and it was dead on. Definitely top 5 on my Iphone Apps list. I can't imagine how many times I had to drive recklessly with no hands to type in an address....
