How useful is truly new personal assistant: Siri and Iris

Siri was designed to help you especially when you are moving. Although at first sight is spectacular, but enough has limitations. It knows only English, German and French spoken clearly enough. But we must recognize that it helps to have a phone that talks to you instead ask you to look at the screen when you should look forward.


Siri on iPhone 4S know to start music, write text messages and e-mails in English and then send them to contacts, set appointments and record alerts, addresses look on the map or weather. Failures but also give emphasis or question you do not understand or simply did not know the country.


Voice recognition commands is not new nor Android. Galaxy Galaxy SII Fri Nexusor pre-equipped with a set of commands that works as ... experimental.

Android has pledged support voice and Iris. Talk about software built by Indiancompany. Iris seems but rather put on jokes.

Of all the upgrades that distinguish the new iPhone 4S from its predecessors, probably the feature that's gotten the most attention is the voice-based personal assistant app called Siri, which allows a user to accomplish certain tasks almost entirely by voice. A few days ago, as reported by TechCrunch, a team of Android developers came up with an Android equivalent to Siri called Iris (spell that backwards). It took them only 8 hours to have a working, if imperfect, app to play with and submit to the Android Market. This quick video review of Iris says the app is unpolished, but shows promise. For now, it generates some accurate results, and some amusing ones. 


Finally, BlackBerry began offering  voice recognition, but, as usual, Canadians last Fri difficult and the programs are still cumbersome.
I believe that the perfect phone will  listen to our thoughts not to our voice.
