Interesting... no Mic icon here. Just a text box centered in the slide. Both in Chrome 7.0.517.44 and Safari 5.0.2. The mystery deepens. Edit: Aha! Update to 8.0.552 and presto... Mic icon. Very slick. Edit again: "Hello" ---> Lowes. "Hello Mr. Webpage" ---> homeless services "This is a test" ---> test Probably a crappy notebook mic to blame. Ah well. Recognition on my Nexus One is quite solid so I can't blame Google's algorithms.
