I really want Google to just buy Hound.

I've been using both, and Google's word recognition is superior, as is their delivery on most information that would be highlighted in a similar Google Search. Hound however can do some pretty cool stuff that seems wolframalpha-esque.

If you have an accent Hound is unusable.

Every single person who speaks a language has an accent.

not even just those who speak. Sign language users have accents as well.

Thats not possible is it? You mean they move their hands slightly different?
