In a previous article of mine I've shown you what Siri can do or in other words how can you talk to Siri, iPhone's 4S voice assistant. Of course Android devices and Google have their own voice assistant as well. It's called Google Voice Search.
With Google Voice Search you can
- Send text messages Say "send text to [recipient] [message]"
- Get directions Say "navigate to [address/city/business name]"
- Call contacts Say "call [contact name] [phone type]"
- View a map Say "map of [address/city]"
- Write a note Say "note to self [message]"
- Listen to music Say "listen to [artist/song/album]"
- Call businesses Say "call [business name] [location]"
- Send email Say "send email to [recipient] [subject]* [body]"
- Go to websites Say "go to [website]"
- Search Google Say "[your query]"
On the other hand Siri has more options. Just ask it "What can I say?" and take a look at the list on your iPhone 4S.
- Call people or numbers
- Play songs stored on your iPhone
- Text people
- Setup meetings
- Setup reminders
- Ask for directions
- Email people
- Find out stock prices
- Set alarms
- Ask for address info from your contact list
- Find your friends using the Find My Friends utility
- Create notes
- Get answers to calculations and trivia via Wolfram Alpha
- Search the Internet
Here is a more detailed article on How to talk to Siri.
Google Voice Actions supports only English for the time being and I don't know if this is going to change with Ice Cream Sandwich. Unfortunatelly all my contacts are not in English so I can't try it myself. However the other commands worked ok.
Who do you think will be the winner in the Google Voice Actions vs Siri battle?
