Hate to slam this, but there are like 100 Siri clones in the market.
Some are pretty good.
And didn't google hire the Siri developer from Apple last year?

Sorry about that Slaughter, it was late. Check it out . We currently have nothing even close. This guy seem to be on the right track for sure. Did you take the time to fully read the guys credentials & watch the demo. Seem like this thing is a lot more sophisticated than anything out there now, i like it. Maybe Google will buy him out. One can only hope. Would love to see Apple get blown out of the water. This post wont get any coverage back here any chance of moving it back ?

i skimmed it...still there are a few apps in the market that do a ton if not all of what siri can do right now...
as for moving it back, im going to have to deny that as it doesn't make sense to put it up in general when its app related and doesn't really warrant the need to get huge coverage at this point anyway...If this thing starts to gain traction or become some kind of big huge event then maybe...
but for now app/theme talk is what belongs in this forum, so itll stay here in the mean time...

Judging from the video, this software is way more intuitive than any of the current voice apps. I'm using Speaktoit Assistant and Vlingo right now and they work pretty good, but you have to learn what to say to get it to do what you want.
In this video, the software seems to actually "know" what you mean and what you might mean and convey it back to you in a true conversational tone. In addition, it can differentiate between your "message" and "command" words intutitively.
Looks pretty impressive to me compared to what's currently out there. This seems to be actual AI instead of pattern or keyword recognition used in Vlingo or Speaktoit.
I'm in.

Yeah, I prefer Assistant by speaktoit for Jeanine type functionality. It works pretty well conversationally.
I can't remember why Jeanine didn't work that well for me. Not sure if you watched the SILVIA video or not but it appears to be much more intelligent with seemingly highly advanced memory and cognition.

I donated $20. Figured why not, I like the fact that it let him build on the outgoing SMS. Wish it would have shown up the message it sent, to see how good it was at putting his words down. Whenever I use a assistant app it always gets a extra work in their -_-
So when you make the $20.00 donation, you'll receive the app when est. release? Or do you get it now, then updates?

And unfortunately, for the general public, they do believe that they introduced it. Watch. Give it a couple of months and most technologically retarded people will be claiming this is one of the features that they have over Android.
I don't know if Siri is better or not since I haven't tried it, but what I do know is that of all the voice recognition software that I've used, Google's is the best by a very very very long shot.
A co-worker, whom I would say is one such person who would believe what Apple tells him. He is thinking about upgrading his Iphone just to get the new Siri. He said that there was nothing else like that on phones and he thought it was cool.
I told him that I talk into my phone all the time instead of typing, and it rarely makes mistakes
I think he had a brain seizer when I told him that.
it was supposed to be a joke post siri is absolute rubbish love google voice though it rocks
Last night after telling a friend of mine that Apple stock dropped shortly after they revealed the iP4s, he mentioned that it may not be a huge upgrade but that Siri makes it all worth while, revolutionizing the way we use our phones. I quote "With Siri you can tell your phone to text someone and dictate the text message!" I lol'd for a little while.
I wonder how long Apple will be able to get away with these kinds of updates... you know, the ones that bring minimal changes though sell millions.
Siri is completely different than what's available in Android right now. Sure, it can do the whole voice to text thing, but it's also a little smarter. Just watch the demo. You can ask the current weather, and it'll find out about where you're at now, then you can say "How about Chicago?" and it'll remember that you were talking about the weather and find out the weather in Chicago. It's not groundbreaking, but it's not what's currently available in Android

yeah, I think we all just assumed the OP was talking about the Voice Search/Command features...
I would be willing to bet Siri shares a lot of her source code with google's voice recognition
I think the benefit to siri(note I HATE apple) is that it seems to not need exact commands, like the do I need a raincoat today in the commericial. And the whole talking back and reading text out loud. That being said I Hope to see lots of yuppies yelling at iPhones soon!
I'm hoping voice search gets revamped on Ice Cream Sandwich, I read some where they are prepared to update all the core google apps as soon as it drops. Most people I meet don't even know it's there. thats really a shame
Can anybody really say which is better from watching a damn demo? Hell..it's not even out and already deciding which is better. It's like watching a demo for a car commercial without driving it.

My girlfriend has an iphone 4 (from her parents), and back in my EVO 4G days we were messing around with her iphone voice commands and my Google voice commands and mine would get nearly everything right and hers would get nearly everything totally wrong It was pretty funny.
I was sitting with my wife and we saw something about siri on the news... And the clip they used was "set alarm for 6:00am".... and they said it was a first and revolutionary... I was like wtf.... My phone already does that... That's BS..

HTC Incredible - Speech Recognition
It's silly and moot to compare them right now since Siri isn't out for the general public. However using iPhone's previous voice recognition has sucked. All Google needs to do is simply implement it better (like a guy here posted earlier about how the phone "remembers" you're asking about the weather) which I reckon should be easy to do.
Not praising Google or anything, but out of all the voice recognition software I've used (and that's quite a lot, always found the concept interesting) Google's is the only one that I've had the least errors with. I even try to confuse it on purpose at times.
The thing that leaves a bad taste in my mouth is that this will (probably) only be available for the 4S when pretty much every other iPhone will have the capability of doing it. They're re-releasing almost the same iPhone 4 phone with exclusive software. That's why I don't buy Apple, they shaft their costumers.
Oh and before people start saying Apple invented this and are innovators: Apple Buys Siri, A Mobile Assistant App, As War With Google Heats Up. Great for them to have implemented it, but lets be honest, it's nothing new.

Been using Speak-to-it for about 6 months now, and it is really good and getting better all the time. I have emailed with questions and requests for features and while their response time isn't necessarily the greatest, when they do respond they actually give you solutions that work.
+1 for Speak-to-it
Speak to it is great, I just wish it had the Iris UI...eventually Android will have built in "Majel" AKA Google Assistant though, and it should one up Siri.

When she said "where is the closest rite aid" Siri literally could not understand what she was asking. She tried several times before i had enough and used googles speech search "Navigate to Rite Aid" and it immediately gave me turn by turn directions to rite aid. Just to be an ass i kept closing it and searching over and over again and never had a "I don't know" problem LOL .... but Siri worked when she had to call her mom to complain about how much siri sucked LMAO

Starts today. The newest update brought a tab to the "My Apps" section of the Play Store labeled "All", which is a ridiculous list of every app you have ever even looked at funny, never mind downloaded (free or not), with no way to filter so you can easily and conveniently browse your purchased but uninstalled apps. This is, IMHO, stupid and I've contacted Google about it, but it takes more than one squeaky wheel to get action so I am asking, nay pleading with you to contact Google through the "Help" option in the Play Store and demand for them to make this necessary change to the Play Store, and fire the moron who thought this latest edition was a good idea. The more I go through my list, and realize it's ridiculously poor implementation, the more heated I get. Join me, would you?
Thanks.

Really? This "movement" is entirely unnecessary.
You don't like the feature? DON'T SWIPE LEFT TO GET TO THE TAB.
For gods sake its a small UI change, its not a big deal. Get over it.
If you're REALLY that big ignorant and want to get rid of it, ask a dev, or do it yourself, go into the apk and change the framework of it so its not in there.
I don't give a damn about the all tab. It's useless to me, but others I know DO find it useful.

Point is that before all if your purchased apps were at the bottom of your list if they weren't installed, easy to look through and decide if you wanted to reinstall them, or not. Now, you have to search through the entire list off every app you've ever tried, had a friend download, new ROM install etc. to see if there's an "old" paid app you might like to revisit, OR restore after a new ROM flash. And xrider, I'd think you'd like to be able to erase the pron apps you've downloaded in case you're mom gets ahold of your phone and pokes around.
And if you don't like the idea this post poses, you could take your own advice and not click on this topic.

firstly, if you didn't want opposition to your thread, you might as well have stated it in the OP. You're making a entire thread on this subject and you expect people who disagree with your opinion to just stay quiet? I don't know who, how old you are or anything and it doesn't matter but you need a reality check and know that people out there WILL disagree with your public opinion.

I don't mind opposing points of view, you just seemed to be getting worked up about my point of view so I suggested you exercise the option of using a little of your own advice. As for the porn comment, it was just a joke made because you've made statements more than once on these forums about liking porn (and no, there's nothing wrong with naked Asians, as long as they're female and have ALWAYS been female). Sorry if my post offended, I wasn't trying to be a prick.
Seriously though, you don't find the poor implementation of the "All" tab annoying? Especially since it isn't just a new feature, but has replaced a feature that used to be much more user friendly? One that I used a lot, and now is not only gone, but replaced by this idiodic list 500+ apps long, most of which I either don't remember ever using, or just downloaded to see and decided I didn't want or like them so they were deleted. Now I have to wade through them to find apps I paid for. Its crap.
I have no idea what the heck you are talking about. I have tried on my phone and tablet. I have swiped left, right, up and down (yes I am still talking about the market). I have seen the "All" on my PC but nary on my phone/tablet. Ya I said nary, so.
I guess in my case since I can't get into the "All" section, ignorance is bliss. Especially if it is pitting Xrider and Droidificator against one another. Darn you market and your evil plan to create anarchy amongst the users.

Agreed, but looking forward to shouting "SNOOZE" ya bar steward, at it in the Morning
I'm skeptical:
If I want to make fun of my friends with their i**** I say "ask siri what the weather is like in fuerteventura"
If the iSheep does, siri answers after an eternity "I don't know"
an eternity later it she says "Shall I look for you on the internet?"
if you say "yes", you end up with a picture of the island.
Then I take my SGS2, say "weather fuerteventura" in google voice search and seconds later the brower opens with the usual weather graphic.
The iSheeps say it's because it's the german version of siri. But I say BS!
We'll see....
Watching someone trying to get siri to work in a noisy cafe or street is very amusing, they look like such idiots.
They would rather spend 5 minutes trying to get the stupid phone to understand them than actually do it themselves in 5 seconds by tapping the screen a few times.

S-voice does much worse in that video "The joker are taking a fat?" although, of course, this is only the english version.
Thing is, though, as others have pointed out, both do pretty badly in real life. Voice commands are little more than a marketing gimmick right now, good only for performing basic tasks or showing off. Indeed, there's a class action lawsuit on Siri for being portrayed as more effective than she really is.
S-voice and Siri both works exactly same kind. But S3 has more advance features than iPhone 4S. So for now S3 is better, but iPhone 5 will come that can change the whole phone market.
Iphone 5 will come out and disenfranchise all the fanboys because the apple snake no longer has its spiritual head ruling the design process with an iron fist.
We will see i guess, totally not expecting magic though.

I actually look forward to this too, but I'm going to make the snooze function react to the word "poopypants", because wouldn't that just be great? With the SGS3, "poopypants" can be the first word you say every day, setting the tone for the rest of your day AND annoying the hell out of the wife after a while as an added bonus!
On another thread someone has already confirmed it does nothing without a connection even when its a local request like opening an app.
As to voice control I like it when it can go directly to something that would otherwise take multiple clicks or drilling into menus. Like in my car I can push one button and say "play the Rolling Stones" and it gets it every time. Nice and easy, no drilling into menus, no muss, no fuss. I could also say "temperature, 72 degrees" and it will turn the temp up to 72 but I never do. Its easier to just reach over and spin the knob. The same would be true of the phone. Rather than open the player, scroll to the music, select it, it would be a saving to just name that band and have it playing. On the other hand I'm not sure why I would ask for the weather when I can just tap the screen once and I got it.
there both crap
Like 75% of people who will own this phone, I will never use the voice features, they have always been bad, and I have never been able to find a use for it.
Your voice recognition is bad, and you should feel bad.
I would use it casual, but not professional. ONly to impress friends ;p
Kind of a slap in the face to apple which is always worth a smile:

. Ok, so to make this seem like it is actually an important piece of news can anybody actually give any statistics showing that this was an item widely used and loved by people? I'm a clown, I know nothing about it. If you say google hired tim cook away from apple that means something to me. Google only paid 25 million for this outfit does that mean it sucks or will any of us android users benefit from this? Sorry to come off stupid but i am. Give me a little knowledge please and thank you.
Sparrow is loved by many people because although it can be used for multiple email services, it specializes and really shines with GMail. In fact, having used it, I can say it's almost better looking and more functional than our own Android GMail app. The desktop app for OS X (which I played with on my brother's Air) is fantastic, and I sorely wish we had something similar on Windows. Thunderbird just isn't what I want.
That being said, I don't know how this is a "slap in the face to Apple". The Sparrow team specifically said they're not dropping the app at all, and it will continue to receive support. If this makes you giggle, I guess you laugh very easily then...
True that they'll still support Apple, but would it be safe to say that Google won't want them supporting it as much as usual? I would think their attention will be elsewhere typically.

Anything that directly or indirectly affects apple in their gloat train does make me laugh. For google to purchase a company that up until today only supported apple, makes it a good day. True they'll still support apple as google already does, but it takes yet another item away that apple can say is 'theirs' per say.

I am unsure what you mean by "gloat train", and I'm not sure I agree with your opinion about "taking away an item", but that of course is your opinion.

And in a few a mod comes & shuts down another perfectly good thread. That stuff is getting really annoying

Sorry you feel that way. Threads get shut down when they get out of hand, you know, flaming, trolling, etc. So if this one can stay civil, then it will remain open.
"Google has struggled with its Gmail app for iOS. The company likely brought the Sparrow team in to help improve its Gmail experience on iOS and Mac, as well as potentially Android and PCs" This is a quote from mashable. So in reality It seems they are trying to make google and mac work better together. There could be no better outcome than that.

Most of the debates I'm the Apple threads are entertaining & educational. I learn a lot from reading threads & replies here, but every time a mod shuts down all the fun. A heated debate won't kill nobody

So our Gmail app is getting a face lift. Sounds good! Hopefully in the long run they will stop supporting apple. Long shot though.

I know, i cant' help myself. I keep seeing people panicking over things that will probably mean nothing and it drives me nuts. Mark my words all this patent crap, etc will turn out to be nothing when it's over. One side will win for a while, and the other, it's the old unstoppable force meets an immovable object.

While true, like V said, if the threads didnt have flamming/trolling and profanity going back and forth, they would stay open every time, no question...
Turn About is Fair Play

I was on Appadvice today and they were basically having a "wake" for the Sparrow iOS app. The question that comes to mind is... "What about Chomp?" It was an app that help you when shopping for an app in the overcrowded Google Play Store but once Apple bought it...Poof! Gone!
Google's mobile branch makes most of its money thru Apple and Mac users. So, unless there is a google boycott from Apple causing a dip in the red, why would google stop supporting them?
Maybe got a little too ahead of myself. Just makes little sense for google to acquire Sparrow and have them continue to support Apple. That is until u know the details of what Sparrow makes and why Google acquired them. Not sure why Apple would mind Google sponsoring development of the gmail app for Mac.
If there is something I'm missing please let me know before calling me names, but shouldn't Apple be giggling?
