Google shut down Google 411 today. The free directory assistance service
had very accurate speech recognition and even connected you to the
requested number for free. Luckily Microsoft debuted its own free
directory assistance last year called Bing 411. It has even more features
than Google 411 had. Besides directory assistance, Bing 411 provides
news, weather, sports, stock quotes, traffic reports, movie times, and
more. When using Bing 411 for directory assistance it will text you the
requested phone number or connect you to number for free. Give Bing 411 a
try at 1-800-246-4411.
FYI: I removed the Google 411 link from the Audio Information web page on
moblind.org and replaced it with Bing 411.
