The iPhone 4S allure lies in its full-time intelligent assistant
at the beck of your call. At its price though, an iPhone 4S isn’t within the
budget of the majority of us. This made us wonder – can we get something similar
to it for ourselves on our Android smartphones? After a bit of research on
Google I got three most effective application after I used the on my Samsung
Galaxy Ace. They are the clones of
iPhone’s Siri from Android Market.
IRIS:
Developer: Dexetra
Price: Free
This is by far the most talkative of all these clones, and
gives the wittiest answers. You can ask Iris, a general question, get it to
call someone from the phonebook, play your favourite songs from the playlist
etc. the app is still at its alpha stage, but the current speed and precision
of development, it just may be Android’s answer to Apple’s assistant.
ANDY:
Developer: 74
Technologies
Price: Free
Voice recognition is something that’s going for this app in a
big way. I don’t have any issue regarding to accent or ambient noise for the
most part, and Andy’s aura of seriousness when interacting is noteworthy. At the
first run, the app downloads a couple of 4 GB worth add-ons, for which I suggest
you using Wi-Fi (I already downloaded it earlier and later run it on my phone).
While Iris has a humorous side to it, Andy keeps it very simple.
ALICE:
Developer: YourApp24
Price: Free
Alice works as well as Iris and Andy, and yet is another
alternative, even if only for some fun. Again, this app seems to have better
voice recognition than the original assistant on the par, Siri! Some answer
seems to cross the border of being funny, deep into “What the Hell!” category. Try it out just for fun as it is free of cost.
After what I tested on these Android apps and read about the
iPhone’s Siri, it seems to me that Siri is having no chance at all.
