We all know that voice recognition technology isn't something new. Some handsets that were previously released have already incorporated voice controls but was avoided by consumers because of limited use and poor accuracy. Well, next-gen mobile users might have an answer to this voice recognition problem.

Sprint Nextel Corp. announced that it will be providing voice recognition services. Developed by privately-held MobileVoiceControl Inc., one of a number of companies developing voice control systems, this technology promises to allow users to just press a button, say the name of the intended recipient, and input a message of up to 20 words.

Sprint has had this technology since late last year but has only recently made this service available to business customers.

Some users have already backed the service by saying that "it really works." On that note, we'll just have to see if this service becomes a hit or not, as those same users also said that "You have to learn to speak slowly and clearly."
