Icon for Voice Commands

I love the voice commands in my Galaxy Nexus and how natural I can speak and still be understood. I don't mind at all that it lacks the personality of Siri, but what I do covet from the iPhone is the great access to voice control. Even on my large screen, the microphone icon inside the Google rectangle is too small.

I would love a widget that provided me better access to voice command. I would happily pay for the ability to place it among one of the five icons along the bottom.

Does such an app exist?
 
I don't have a Nexus, but isn't there an app "Voice Search" (or whatever app you're talking about), that if you long press and add the app to your screen, it's just a mic icon? You can put that in the dock, or change the icon to anything you download from the net.

edit: After a little research, I guess ICS voice actions are different than GB voice actions. I found what may be a solution for you in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1401541
