Next iPhone to get enhanced voice control?


New patent applications with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office show Apple Inc. may be working on an enhanced voice command system for its future iPhones.

Enthusiast site AppleInsider said Apple's rumored voice control system may be a feature coming to iOS 5 later this year.

"Both applications were applied for by Apple in January of 2010. The proposed invention related to audio feedback is credited to Benjamin Andrew Rottler, Aram Lindahl, Allen Paul Haughay Jr., Shawn A. Ellis and Policarpo Wood. Wood and Lindahl are also credited for the voice input application," AppleInsider said in a blog post. -gmanews
