As the competition heats up amongst smart-phone personal assistants, both Apple’s Siri and Android’s Iris have emerged as leading technologies. But let’s not forget about Google’s application, which can do many of the things these two technologies can do, but seams to be lacking in voice recognition capabilities. So who really wins the battle between this incredible new technology that brings us one step closer to having our very own C3PO (StarWars)?
Apple’s Siri really is a smooth operator, and the voice really sounds like a chick I might actually date. If she could effectively answer more of my questions, I’d be in love. I think Siri could be the best overall application with a few updates to the system.
In comes the Droid’s most talked about application, Iris. Iris has a slight edge on the competition because it’s developers have teamed up with Cha Cha’s question answering service that provides the personal assistant with better answers to questions people might actually ask. It’s almost like a boost in language skills so to speak. The only downfall to Droid’s Iris is the sound of it’s voice. It not something I could fall in love with, but there is a solution out there to solve this problem. There is an application out there called SVOX that will allow you to change the voice to a sexy female British voice which reminds me of a James Bond film. This could be love.
Overall, the battle is heating up and the Iris and Siri will continue to battle it out for years to come… Check out the video below.
