Google's recently released voice search application for the iPhone apparently has some issues with the Queen's English. British users are reporting problems with getting the application to understand their requests.

"Awesome job google. only problem is every time I say the word 'fish' it registers as sex,'' wrote one user.

Google's website features a demo video with users that have Irish, Chinese, and English accents using the program with no issues.

Hopefully, as Google collects more voice data it'll get better at recognizing other accents.

Have you had any problems with the application?
