Simmortel Voice has the ultimate technology for delivering a voice-powered local search experience. Voice is the holy grail of local search.

It is really disappointing to see that a hi-tech company like Google has resorted to such a LOW-TECH approach of putting a call center for local search service. What's the use of hiring all those highly paid IITians and PhDs.

Google (in India) is yet to show any technological innovation or business model innovation. It is trying to do what Justdial has been doing for over 15 years. At least companies like Ubona in Bangalore have a technically superior approach. Try their Foodie Hotline service for Bangalore's restaurants by calling 080-40700000 and you'll see why. Simple automated interface, superb voice recognition. Even on the web, Ask Laila provides a better experience than Google Local.

Good to see Indian startups providing better technology and services than the world's most admired new economy company.

Have they setup a call center to take the calls or does it run on voice recognition?
