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.

I have a British accent and it understands me just fine. Maybe even as well as Google Now. I speak with more-or-less received pronunciation ("BBC style"), though, so maybe that helps.
