Samir, I read through your site and the sample video and it looks quite impressive. Put a good-looking front-end to it and I don't know how anyone would differentiate it from Siri, except for some differences in what API 'verbs' the system is capable (Siri knows how to manage my calendar, but Iris knows how to get content from YouTube, for example). Iris even knows how to concisely get some info that Siri doesn't perform well with; for example, it gives a concise summary in response to a question about who a particular soccer player is, whereas Siri would probably just punt me to the web or at best pull up a long WolframAlpha response.
Anyone know why Siri seems only as capable (and in some respects less so) than this 4 week project done by a junior in college? Or (besides the UI work) is there something majorly different?
My understanding is that the speech recognition isn't special with Siri, Apple just licensed tech from Nuance, known for their Dragon Dictation product line.
