So, i just came across this where the protocol of siri has been cracked and can now be ported to the original ipad + Android devices.
Looks like this can be done by an experienced developer, so posting it here.
Hope some genius can come out with some good results for all of us, and make his money too
http://applidium.com/en/news/cracking_siri/
hoping for this too
hmm.... i just found out that siri user apple server for 'her' artificial intelegence.
i though it was on iPhone 4, so 3gs can't taste siri.
anyway, this is great effort.
i really can't imagine android use apple server for using siri xD

Why would anyone port siri for android? Ever heard of google search? Come built in with android os since android came out to the market. Use the voice action of the app and it will do the same thing that siri does.. without the sarcastic answers that apple thought will save the craphone. Siri is just apple's varsion of google's google search. But if you are looking to ask her to marry you or find you a spot to dump a body, you should look out and see that there is life beyond sitting infront of the computer and hoping it will answer.

Well siri seems better at recognising voice commands... I used Iris which uses the wolframalpha database just like siri, and the only problem seems to be with the google voice recogniser api (probably cause i'm not american and it's not optimised for anyone but)... would be nice if it could recognise perfectly atleast but i guess that's google's work to do....

I know what you mean. I am not american either, and some times the system does not understand me unless i talk really slow like some kind of an analphabet in english class. Also, if you want it to call a persone or a number, you have to say dial. If you say call, it searches the web.. stupid.

ha I can't stand the idea of talking to a phone or computer. If you need to talk to a phone and ask it how to do something, you're doing something wrong.
As much of a gimmick as Siri is, Apple has managed to get itself a lot of attention. I guess it does not hurt that the media seems to ignore most smartphone technology until it is on the iPhone.

Deviation from topic???? that too from a MOD????
Actually google's voice search api is pretty good.. only not so much at recognising other accents.. which isnt really google's fault really... I mean there's no accent that u can TRULY call 'Indian" for instance... based on the latitude, I can see around 5 accents quite different from each other really....
American users: does it work well for you? I mean does google voice search generally transcribe voice to words correctly???

Well it works pretty well most of the time, however I do sometimes have to intentionally mispronounce some words, names for instance, and then sometimes the thing is totally in left field; still it is pretty good most of the time. I used voice dial in front of one of my many iPhone toting friends recently, and his jaw dropped...( and voice dial isn't exactly new...)

GV works 80% of the time for me as well and I have a 'midwestern' accent, or no accent. Sometimes the results are just weird
What really pisses me off is that I can't get it to understand "Mimi's Cafe" for the life of me, it interprets it as "Nini's Cafe".
Why it's trained to come up with a single restaurant close to Google HQ instead of the name of a decent sized chain restaurant is just too Bay Area centric.

Hmmm for me it's actually pretty terrible actually.. I tried English (Generic) and English(India) accents in GV settings.. and in both cases it generally doesnt recognise a word i say... it is quite entertaining at first but annoying eventually... I remember saying "Forum Mall" (like..."fohrummma mawla") and the best it got is "Form One"
So actually if Siri's voice recognition is better... and Apple does NOT mind (and they WILL mind) we could probably use only siri's VR engine.. (I say "probably" cause i'm not a dev.. just an enthusiast)

You are still right abt apple though
There is an app in the market and I'm sorry I can't remember the name but i downloaded it a while ago a.d it did most of what siri does. You could ask it random things and it would answer it would also preform actions on the phone just by speaking. But in talking to it I pissed it off then he wouldn't talk to me for 5 minutes. So my response was uninstalling it
Was it called iris?

What practical use do you see for S-Voice besides waking up phone & ask for weather?
Let's discuss that here, so we could build our experience of possible use ways of S-Voice for the time when we'll get our hands on the phone
I don't see much practical use except maybe for apple fanboys...
Besides in a car I find voice controls hardly practical and sometimes obnoxious.

It doesn't look very stylish to type silently on your phone while waiting in line at Starbucks. So have a conversation with your phone while you wait in line. The Galaxy S3 is just like an old friend who is ready to strike up a conversation with you. All you have to do is say "Hi Galaxy!"
You can shout obscenity at it while you're pissed off at work. There is a market for anger management apps.
LOL, i thought of real usage suggestions, not laughs

The SGS2 is no fun to talk with because it is just a phone..
But the Galaxy S3 is a different story. She is natural and human. She knows when I sleep. She watches me every moment of the day. She always knows what I want next.
I think it depends what its capable of. Can you ask it to do calculations? can you ask it to create a shopping list? can you ask it to play a certain song? or could you ask it to read out a text message, ask it to call someone.

also really curious of how much it is capable of
The key will be extending it to other apps unlike the POS that is Siri which only works with Apple apps. E.g. Can I use SVoice to send messages or make calls using custom dialed or SMS.
I hope to be a greek version otherwise it is useless for me
I have uninstalled vlingo. Google voice search is handy, when I search for something but don't know how to spell it.
Svoice could be useful while driving in my car to trigger a phone call.

yes voice apps are useless if they dont understand your own language. i use my phone in english so phone part may not be important but cant have my all frinds have english names to start a voice call
I'm on the road a lot for work, and listen a LOT of music. Driving and scrolling through tracks can be a bit of a hazard sometimes, so I'm really hoping I can just tell my phone to play a track or album and it does it.
That alone would be a selling point for me.

if there is going to be a gps reminder thingy ill be extremely happy. nothing like pulling into walmart and having your phone remind you to get the toilet paper you have desperately been needing for a couple days. it can be quite the cleansing experience.
i am also wondering if they are going to throw in the sheep reference towards apple users. i know its petty, but if i could get the phone to make fun of some of the tree huggers that hang out in starbucks... i might get a laugh and it would make my purchase of the phone all the more worth it.
If it's extensible enough so other apps can use it them it may be really useful. Google Voice hasn't done this. e.g. 'forward this email to my Tennis group and upload all attachments to Dropbox'. Or 'Play TuneIn channel ABC'. Complex voice commands could really be useful. We know Siri is nothing more than a simple keyword recognition engine so I'm hoping Samsung has done something better.
Agree, until we know what its capabilities are there is no way to make a guess at how useful it might be.

Download vlingo from market.

Try Iris or Vlingo/Vlingo Beta for US!
Vlingo is pretty good at answering questions, almost like Siri!
E.g. I asked who the members of The Black Eyed Peas were and Vlingo answered the right names!
Iris is better if you want almost like a virtual "person" to talk to!

I live in a rural area and i have no reception at my home, so when i get home from work I can't even check my voicemail, not to mention all the people out there who have to pay for a voicemail service.

I thought of that, but the fact is, most users don't live in the USA where, it would seem, voicemail is free or included in all plans and data is cheap (for checking voicemail stored with online services)...
So what's the hangup? Is it for some obscure legal reason? Sometimes I wonder if it's not deliberate, to push us all into the cloud and take away the last controls we still have on personal data...

I did read a short thread somewhere that said perhaps it was a firmware issue but there were no real details so i never took it seriously.
As for data being cheap.. well here in Canada they figured out that they can charge extra for data and that is the direction it is going in.. for example, last year I had unlimited internet $45/mth, this year, same and only company available to me $45 15gb/daytime/mth and 40gb/night/mth... and for phones they talk in mb LOL

why androids dont have a basic feature called answering machine
back way in the burst age of symbian the answering machines were so popular and were easy to use bcoz the symbian platform has an option called line 1 and line 2, in which during the call the voice intercoms with the recieved call from line 1, answers it and leaves the voice message from line 2. this option was crossed out in the android platform due to some synical reasons where a lot of myths says that this option has created bandwidth vulnerabilites on the source code & for which it was avoided. so unless the source is added with a bit of spicy line option i think the answering machine with a auto voice message would b an imagination.
try this app

You can take incoming phone call, record voice messages, enter tone dialing and answer voice or beeps in according to a self made script program.

I'm sick of Android, I can't wait for iOS6 to come along so I can enjoy better features on my future iPhone 5. This phone is great but Android really bogs it down; I wish it ran iOS. Most fluid mobile OS and it just works.
One of my greatest hesitancies in going with a non-Android smartwatch OS is the terrible lagginess of S-Voice in the past compared to the lightning speed of Google Now.
For those who own the watch, how responsive is S-Voice as far as texting, asking for information, etc?
Thanks. First look at this watch in the store I thought it was too big and geeky for me, but still fence-sitting a bit. I now wear a Rolex Submariner so this would be a big switch style wise.
Just tested it out myself. It's not as blazing fast as Google Now, but it's better than it was an acceptable.
You won't be able to get quick answers like "When is the Redskin's next game" without being redirected to the phone. Someone said we could get Google Now on this Gear S. Will have to research that.

I switched from my Rolex Submariner also, so I know how you feel. It's not too large, but it is definitely instantly recognizable as something more than a watch even at first glance. Still it blends in well.
S voice is pretty decent, haven't use it much but it's pretty smooth and fast. Google now is nice, but it's always been way too much of an internet search to be 100% perfect as a personal assistant.

Well one of the nice things about Google Now is I can say, "What is the score of the Redskin's game?" and the answer will appear on the watch. With SVoice it will just link me to the answer on my phone which kind of defeats the purpose of asking the watch in the first place.

Yeah they are both better in their own ways. S voice is nice and straight forward but limited, where Google now is much broader, but sometimes too broad. A good example is sometimes when I say "call Mario" it gives me an internet search for super Mario bros. Now I'm not sure why it sometimes does this, and other times calls my contact.
So far S Voice is so laggy and generally weak that it is almost useless. If I say "When is George Washington's birthday?", sometimes it just spins and spins then finally recognizes the words but never gives me an answer. The response to this using Google Now would be almost instantaneous.
I just don't get it. Samsung has had S Voice from freakin YEARS now, why does it still SUCK so bad?
Between that and the weakness of the Navigation app (no driving directions - what?!) this watch is losing it's charm for me quickly. Why is Samsung SO bad at software?
**UPDATE: I think part of the problem with the lagginess is due to the fact Sprint puts their Gear S on the horrific 3G network. ATT uses 4G. Why would Sprint go 3G when 4G was possible? Inexplicable.
Still, I can't believe S Voice can't answer something as simple as when a football game is without redirecting me to the phone. I mean, my god, come on.
It's nowhere near as good as Google Now, but it works for things like sending texts, setting alarms, and checking the weather in a city

This is my experience too. I had a Moto 360 and it could do much more but too frequently made mistakes on basics. S-Voice is near perfect for calls and messages and alarms and voice memo. I am happier with S-Voice but really missing setting calendar appointments and reminders (tasks). Anyone think Samsung will add those like they have for the phone?

I started a bounty thread for the Google ware to be ported over to the GG, G2, G2Neo. but was beaten down about the difference in the processors and such so i abandoned the thread since it was getting more flack then support.
But yes, I agree. Google now would be AWESOME for this watch.
We need developers for this watch

there's gotta be something in it for them to get involved.
1k devices = no dev
millons = tons of apps.
This watch needs to sell a bunch to get dev interested or Samsung to run another dev competition.
This is by far the best watch on the market. I had the gear 1, 2 and now the S. Loving it

I generally have the tendency to swear at my voice assistants. I just attempted to tell Bixby 'F you' though, I pronounced it like a real person and not a Mormon. She heard that as 'suck you' and responded with;
I am just trying to be a good sidekick for you

Brilliant! Though when I asked that language filters be disabled, it took me to the camera application and stated that I didn't have any filters activated...
I always wanted to train and hack maps. To be like "you missed your turn dumb$ss" or "f-in turn at the next light f***er" lol that would be awesome.

So...you spend 1K on a smartphone to swear at it?
Like I have said before the Note 8 has a much higher IQ than some of its owners. Living proof here eh!

I use Maps and Waze, and I'm sure you can record your own voice on Waze... They had Mr. T on Waze for a bit, then it disappeared, it was funny hearing him say 'take a left sucka!'. ... lol..

That was TomTom, I believe. Had it on my old phone long ago and loved the John Cleese voice.

Yes i believe that was the one and i too remember the John Cleese voice lol.
Garmin XT on my old Nokia's I used yoda voice.surprisingly it's better than other voice because yoda says "turn left, you shall" or "turn right, you will" rather than the please turn left.. And occasionally it will chuckle a bit to replace the "go straight"

Why would you want to?
Has anyone gotten the thing to work where if bixby misunderstands a command, you can teach it what you actually said? I've been trying to get that to work, teaching it the same word (a contact name it keeps misspelling and then telling me that contact doesn't exist) over 30 times now and it still hasn't changed how it hears me.
unfortunately working with Samsung about this issue they have confirmed that bixby is not integrated to have the profanity block removed at this time, unlike google now or google keyboard.
My issue isnt necessarily swearing at bixby but having her type in my message the way i am saying it, sometimes you just need to tell someone to hurry the F up.
