Using the latest Chrome Beta (11.0.696.16 beta) and the new HTML5 Speech Input features, we can jump into the future with Wolfram|Alpha.

Make a bookmark with the code below as the source.

javascript:(function(){javascript:input=$('input');
['','webkit','x-webkit-'].map(function(prefix){input.attr(prefix+'speech','').bind(prefix+'speechchange',
function(e){$('form:first').submit()})})})();

Navigate to Wolfram|Alpha, click the bookmark. Using the microphone button, try some queries:

• Integrate x squared
• President of the United States of America
• Compare Sweden and Germany
• What is the time

and so on...

Also some Ell Grey made a Voice Search Chrome Extension!

gistfile2.js

var input = $('input');
['',
'webkit',
'x-webkit-']
// Yeah, I know, non-legit attributes and events are bound, but I hate repeating stuff
.map(
  function(prefix){
    input
     .attr(prefix + 'speech', '')
     .bind(prefix + 'speechchange', function(e){
       $('form:first').submit()
      }
     )
  }
);
