iPhone 3.0 Beta Reveals More Clues of Voice Control

Developers testing iPhone 3.0 beta have discovered further evidence of voice control coming to the OS.

System files in the 3.0 beta suggest a framework called “Jibbler” may introduce voice-enabled navigation of the iPhone OS, sources told ArsTechnica. When a user dictates a command, for example, Jibbler could theoretically launch an app in the iPhone’s SpringBoard, or perform a search with Spotlight, a newly announced systemwide search tool.

The exact function of Jibbler has yet to be confirmed. However, voice control is looking more likely: In early April, developers testing an earlier version of the 3.0 beta discovered a configuration file called “Voice Control.”

Ars speculates Jibbler could also introduce voice-enabled dialing. It’s worth nothing, however, that there are already voice-recognition apps available in the App Store: SayWho, a dialer; SayWhere, which looks up directions and businesses; and Google Mobile, which performs Google search queries.
