The closest one to Siri (in looks) is "andy".
but choose Iris or Siri or Skyvi for best functionality.
Voice Actions, iris., Speaktoit, Vlingo Virtual Assistant, AIVC, Skyvi, Edwin Speech-To-Speech, EVA Intern, OMEGA - Virtual Assistant, EVAN Intern, DROID Virtual Assistant. Enjoy

Jesus Christ, if you want to show how much better Android is, flash CM9 or AOKP and show him off all the customization.
Plus, face fx in video. Plus Flash support. Plus 1080p @ 30FPS w/ 30Mb/s support. I could go all day.
Let him show you Siri.
You just change your battery.

Try Vlingo from Market.

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?
Iris. makes your phone talk on topics ranging from Einstein to Mozart.
Yeah, Iris is siri in reverse. Inspired from the iPhone feature Siri, iris interacts with you in voice.
Gone are the days when you "Google searched" for information.
Just "ask" iris. She will talk to you on any topic. Ranging from Philosophy, Culture, History, science to general conversation.
Note: You need to have "Voice Search" and "TTS library" installed in your phone for iris. to work. Most of the phones have these pre-installed, if not please install them from Android market before you try iris.

Excelent
Thanks
It works good. I used czech language and it was quite succesfull in recognition except of some mistakes. Some answers were off the topic, but i know it 's just an alpha. Now it 's just an app for fun, but i m looking forward to use it more in the future.
good work! we will beat iphone with android if we continue developing our OS
cool! In a little time well have a tumblr with s**** Iris says! haha
Could not stop laughing for what you guys are doing. I like this app. gotta try it
Does anybody know of an app or hack/mod that gives total voice control for people of low vision/blind?
I'm trying to find such a thing for a friend who wants to get an android tablet but this seems to be the biggest drawback- no apps that do this. I have found some that mainly do voice and texting but nothing to the extent of total voice control.
Now by voice control I mean something that can be activated by a short press or double press of the power button or volume keys etc.
Please no smart ass remarks. Regardless of a persons ability to see or not, they should be able to use a device if they so choose.
Thanks for any help in advance.
you are evolutionary success, act like it
Any suggestions? Anyone?

if u are asking for a powerful siri alternative for android, there is no such thing. To be honest I'm not sure even siri would be powerful enough to do everything u are asking. Sorry
There is nothing like that for Android.

Hello, Everyone.
My name is x, and I'm a Google Voice Search app addict. =)
There's a huge difference in the Voice Search apps across
the two different versions of Android.
I use Google Voice Search for EVERYTHING. I ride a Ninja everywhere,
add it's my only vehicle. I sometimes send text messages at a red
light, pull over and "call" a business or friend quickly, tell my Droid
"navigate to" my destination, and etc. it's EXTREMELY useful.
I can't live without it.
In Gingerbread, the texting feature was getting better and better.
For example: if Google didn't understand a particular word, then
it would be highlighted. You could then select the word and be
given a few different options, and Google would thus learn from
you. However, in ICS... The highlighted option no longer appears.
Also, this would come in handy when you had multiple contacts
with the same or similar names. Even if the name wasn't highlighted
in the To field, then you could still tap the the contact name in the To
field and select another suggested name. Another useful thing by
tapping a word or contact name: it would highlight the entire contact.
Now.. In ICS, tapping the contact doesn't give you any options.
This all in turn ends up with me having to type more in the Voice Search
texting window for typos, when it can't understand a particular word, or
if it just puts the wrong person in the To field. It practically defeats the
purpose of Voice To Text.
Is anyone else having similar experience?
Is it possible to install a working version of Voice Search from Gingerbread
onto ICS?

I agree! I think Google Now is a step forward but would have been much better if it incorporated what Voice Search already had like the highlighted text feature. Also, it seems Google Now defaults to a player without even asking. Not sure what the best course of action to take here is. One thing I did was removed the flashy YouTube app from Jellybean because it has ads in it and put the one I had in Gingerbread (YouTube HD 2.4.4) IIRC
Personally I've never used regularly the ics voice search. I got into voice search when Google Now appeared. What I recall from the gingerbread voice search is that It could hardly understand common speech, which is a thing ICS does great, and Google Now does amazing.
However to answer your question, I think having the gingerbread voice search app in ics would be really hard. As the jump from gb to ics was enormous, and from ics to jb where mostly framework changes; compiling the gb voice search for ics would be hard.
I recommend you to find a replacement for the voice search in the play store, that mimics the one of gb. Or as I do, have the ICS voice search and Google Now installed at the same time.
ICS search is not as accurate, but it is good for searching an app, song, etc.
I find Google Now really great to dictation purposes, and Siri like questions like: "Do I need an umbrella for this week?" or "Who is the president of Russia", but it most of the times doesn't display the App that I typed for, or the song.

I ended up succumbing to Google Now. Don't get me wrong; I still miss the Voice Search app. I am now starting to miss the fact that Voice Search app would basically appear above/on-top-of any app that you were currently using if you long-pressed the Search key. This was definitely handy if you were doing something and wanted to do a quick search, get directions, or send a text message while not really interrupting your current task.
I think I might be on one of the last Android devices that actually has the Search button. I believe most newer Androids only have three keys at the bottom: home, back, and menu. Removing the Search key and making the Google Search Bar permanently on your homescreen is just horrible in my opinion.
I love Google Now for every feature, but they took away a nice bit from Voice Search.
So this weekend i was driving around with my Note in its window mount and started thinking. What i really need is a way to trigger either Google Now or some other third-party app with voice-only controls. that way i could say Text Mom: Hi mom: and the phone would do so. Same with music, directions, calling etc.
As it stands, i have to manually activate these functions with physical contact. Is there any app out there that would listen for a key phrase to start an action?
Siri.
Or it's android counterpart ...."Skyvi "

Besides Siri on the iphone, the only thing I can find thats close is "assistant" in the market. Skyvi is only for sms, but assistant lets you create voice shortcuts. But nothing is handsfree - you have to wake up the phone and touch the app icon.
