I'm really interested to see if Apple's attempt is better than Google's. It looks so from demonstrations, but then, Voice Actions looks really great in demos too and I can almost never get it to do exactly what I want.
- Geee 15y agoJust by looking where Siri comes from it should be clear it's better. The biggest difference is that Siri doesn't have commands 'hard-coded', you can throw anything at her. Thus, the whole design of Siri is completely different than in voice control systems. Only thing that's comparable is the speech-to-text accuracy.
- feral 15y ago>you can throw anything at her The word 'her' surprised me - 'it', surely? But I guess this just goes to show, once again, how easily anthropomorphisation comes to people; if the experience is good enough that customers start thinking about the software as 'her' rather than 'it', maybe Apple will have a hit on their hands.
- Geee 15y agoWell, that was intentional. I'd like to think Siri as a person; she is supposed to be intelligent after all. :)
- pkulak 15y agoI'm actually only concerned about the speech-to-text accuracy. It's the foundation on top of which all this AI stuff is built. If it's not better than Google's, the AI fancy pants stuff is just going to be another layer of complexity that will screw things up.
