Apple's iOS may be lagging behind Android and even 3rd-party developers such as Dragon Dictation when it comes to voice support, but that could soon be changing. According to four new job postings, Apple is on the prowl for voice technology engineers.

What makes voice search a more likely target for Apple's attention is how the job postings specify that applicants should have experience in voice search tools such as Nuance Recognizer and Google Voice Search.

Also, Apple recently bought an AI company called Siri that is designing a "personal assistant" for iOS. The kind of assistant that uses voice recognition software. Just saying.
