How to Install Voice Search for Google Now on ICS Handset,from Jelly Bean

 

 

Google Now is an amazing application,that uses information about you’re whereabouts and routines,likes , dislikes  and hobbies to produce cards that give you related data.This new feature, that has been confirmed to be included in the Jelly Bean,Android 4.1 ,can now also be enjoyed on the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich,however the voice searches might not be as quick and precise as on Jelly Bean because of the fact that the voice to text technology is different to the one used in Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
