Have you tried google voice search? Comes preloaded with most androids 2.2 and higher. Try long holding your search button.

Siri is VLINGO
Guys, if you check out the videos, you'll see SIRI IS VLINGO. Maybe a newer version, but it's still vlingo.
I could not resist to urge the laugh when I saw that Apple is actually not innovating this time, but copying and lagging behind at least 6 months.
The whole design, look and feel of the application is exactly that of "Voice Talk" on my Samsung Galaxy S II. Which is actually made by Vlingo.
It seems like apple's momentum is slowing down.

Siri is faaaaaaaar far away from Vlingo.
Vlingo is a voice parser "do that", "update facebook", "send to XXXX subject YYYY text ZZZZZZ"
Siri is gramaticaly far away from this. It is suposed that if you say "Siri, send a mail to XXXXX with this: blablalballblalbalbla" and siri will ask you for the subject, if you dont want it, you will be able to say "no, withouth subject" or "send it, i don't care". And siri will do it.
As I said it is suposed to work like this Siri.
For example, I installed Vlingo, I asked for the weather in Barcelona (Spain), and it said me "no coincidence".
On siri you can ask for the weather, if this afternoon are going to rain... and siri will UNDERSTAND you ( understand != parse ) and will give you the same answer... because at the end, you want to know the same: weather.
I love android as much as I can.... but if siri works as it's suposed to work and as Apple said... there isn't anything on android that works like that (yet).

Nope. If you start using Google Voice Search and you have infact enabled something idk the exact sentence but its a personalized voice. Everytime you tell it to search something, it learns your vocabulary, how you talk. Thats basically what Vlingo does too. If you download vlingo and then start telling it to do ****, its not going to work, you have to talk carefully the first few times.
I just tried vlingo, i said "Weather in Frisco, Texas" and it brought up google and showed me the weather.
Sure its not as UIcandy as Siri, but it does what it does. Siri is AI, i know that and i know that vlingo isn't. but think about it. Vlingo is ONE app, vs a thousand in the voice market. Siri was a COMPANY. BOUGHT by apple and refined.
If Google took time to actually do crap like this, it wouldn't take long at all. Their Google Voice search is only a step behind because Siri understands when you talk in a accent etc.

Still not the same. Google's speaker icon works great for what it is, and Vlingo goes a step further, but Siri goes way beyond Vlingo.
If you tell Siri: "Remind me to call home when I leave work." It will (supposedly). It will know when you left work by your location changing, and it will wake up and say "Remember to call home, would you like me to connect you now?" or something like that (supposedly).
There is no app that does anything like that (I just tried a bunch).
As far as I can tell from searching/trying apps, there is no app that will even let you set an alarm or add an event to your Google Calendar using only your voice.
Now my guess is, it's not going to work in the real world as well as it does in those Apple Ads. I expect tons of tech news saying it sucks. If it does work as good as they promise though, I hope we get it soon. If not, I might actually consider jumping ship to an iPhone in a year or too (naw, just kidding... it is an awesome feature I would use all the time though, if it really works like the ads).

It will be a failure, microphones are not so powerful to hear ur lovely voice... There no 100% gurantee on streets u talk like that, and u got siri wrong doing... Siri is just another bunch from google and voice search, vllingo, speaknoit, siri needs a quiet space then ur recognition will be just lovely as u wanted.... Siri is just another classic failure... What a big disaster...

Have any of u thats saying what siri is going to do actually use siri? I mean damn it might be the best thing since sliced bread or it might be a gimmick if you let someone sell u something its goin to sell it to the best of its ability not say well u have to calibrate your voice and all that...**** if ur impressed then ur impressed but if u never used it yourself don't speck on it just because you see a couple of apple you tube videos

It's a shame that android will never get Siri.. Siri was originally being made FOR android. Til apple bought it, for that very reason.
Whats the bet it'll now never be made for android?
