While the world is still waiting for Google’s official answer to Siri, Magnifis is the latest startup to join in on the voice assistant wars by launching its new application, Robin, on Google Play today. Robin is the latest in a long line of attempted competitors, though each application has failed to appeal to the [...]

While, we’ve heard that Google is hard at work on a Siri competitor, that’s about all we’ve heard for the last couple of months. Rumors popped up all over the place claiming that the service would feature the Star Trek-inspired name ‘Majel‘, but it looks like Google may have gone back to the drawing board [...]

For those of you that have been waiting for Android’s very own version of Siri, you already pretty much have it. Not to mention the many voice recognition apps out there to download. I have went on a diatribe about this subject before, by writing about how Google has had this voice recognition technology since the beloved [...]

Many of you have probably tried all the Siri clones out there. Iris Vlingo, Speaktoit Assistant, the list just goes on and on. To me it just seems like a Siri clone  is not going to cut it in the Android world. We have had this voice recognition technology since the beginning and now we [...]

When will it end? Now I am not going to go on an angry diatribe about how stupid I think the whole Siri craze is, but COME ON. Android has had this technology long before Siri hit the iOS. I know, it does not talk back to us, but so what. I guess it just [...]

Just a few months ago the Apple iPhone 4S was released, and one of its most prominent features was Siri, an assistant that helped you complete your everyday tasks.

There are several Siri wannabe options. Skyvi is probably your best bet at actually getting something done, but since it runs in the background it’ll probably eat your battery for breakfast. I should probably do more testing before making that statement but I just don’t like this type of app. The Speaktoit Assistant comes in [...]

Remember iris, the “Siri Killer” application for Android? The progress on this app has come a long way since we first reported on it, back in October. It’s seen a handful of stability and performance enhancements, but it just received an update that adds an extra edge against the competition. As of yesterday, version 2.5 [...]

We knew it was coming. As soon as Apple’s Siri was getting all the hype it was only a matter of time before Android would have its version out. First there was Iris, which was conveniently just Siri backwards but it really did nothing but answer some questions and occasionally look up stuff on the [...]

Ever since Siri hit the iPhone, there has been a whole slew of apps claiming to take it on. Is voice recognition so new that the world feels like it must compete for space in the market? Hasn’t services like Vlingo been around forever, in tech terms? I feel like the whole voice recognition service [...]
