Android Voice Actions vs Apple Iphone 4S Siri
Voice recognition app aims to make our life easier by letting us “speak” our commands rather than typing them into a device or using our fingers to push buttons. At a quick glance, Apple’s Siri and Google’s Voice Actions appear similar.
Here is a video show you the duel between Siri on the iPhone 4S and Google Voice Actions on the Droid RAZR.
We do know that both the voice assistants are doing a good job. The difference is that Siri is taking a bit more time to execute commands.However, the difference between the two applications in their functionality. Where Voice Actions only recognizes commands when the speaker uses specific vocabulary in a specific configuration, Siri’s AI technology allows for a broader – and therefore more natural – range of language.
