Google's voice assistant was definitely impressive, and clearly had an edge on Siri in the tests he made, but to call it a "blowout" was a bit much.

- mtgx 14y agoGoogle's Voice Search seems faster, it's significantly more accurate (86% vs 68% for Siri), and it also comes with that smart Google Now thing, which learns things about you and recommends stuff for you to do based on your location, or behavior or whatever. Oh, and Google's "voice" sounds a lot more natural than Siri, too, which sounds more robotic.
- taligent 14y agoAgain slightly faster and slightly more robotic is not a blowout. And that accuracy statistic you listed is wrong. It is for Google Search Engine which is different from what is on the Android phone. Also the fact that Apple can be in the same ballpark as Google despite not spending billions on it is pretty impressive.
- AllenKids 14y agoIf you are referring to Gene Munster's research, then it does not pit Siri against Google's new voice search, but the plain old text search.
