oscillik Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 i hate talking on the phone. how can you people stand it? Smart Voice Dialer. It doesn't do anywhere near the number of things that siri does. I can text, launch searches and navigation, and do numerous things other than dialing with voice on my phone liar video uploaded August 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGbYVvU0Z5s http://www.google.com/mobile/voice-actions/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest El_Chemso Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Talking of apple stealing, did you know Steve jobs stole all the first apple computer format (GUI, keyboards and mice) from Xerox? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdrKWArr3XY Then I think MS stole the GUI from Apple. Interesting stuff, and we have tax law to thank for it, Xerox only made the GUI because they had to spend money on research to get tax breaks. Worked back then, no reason why stealing the ideas won't work now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 apple has had voice recognition for a few years too, this is a whole new level of that though. android and the rest are scrambling as we speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GORDO Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 that android video looks exactly like what siri is. if they're scrambling is only because apple has better marketing and made it look like a core feature and innovation. but the truth is that they're behind.

jules Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 android can text for you and arrange your calendar on voice command only? edit: and lol, what marketing? they have 1 video on their site about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke viia Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 i've got a "genius" button on my droid that does internet searches, texts, and calls by voice activation... i never use it though, i'm not usually texting or searching for things i'd like to say out loud "any word on the green?" btw i don't give two shits about apple vs the world, they can do what they want. im jus sane gnome sane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hautlle Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 lol luke! To be fair, I actually use a third party ROM on my droid that makes it look a little more like iOS. It's just so much better than the stock HTC GU with the built in tooIs and extensive theming options.. MIUI <3 Warning, large pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goDel Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 What should be decisive on the success of either siri or androids voice actions is the robustness, not the functionality. Will it still work while you're driving in a car? While jogging? Voice recognition can be very sensitive to background noise. It's not a coincidence that the siri clip at apple has examples of people using it in a car, or while jogging. The google voice action clips hardly tell you anything about the robustness. And it's not like either apple or google created something new here. The only novelty is how good it'll work in practice. Remember the cringeworthy microsoft speech-to-text demos?

jules Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 i love the whole "apple is only better because they have better marketing" arguement. that is part of selling a product!! no one knew android had a feature and that is apple's problem?

And it's not like either apple or google created something new here. The only novelty is how good it'll work in practice. Remember the cringeworthy microsoft speech-to-text demos? I disagree, I doubt consumer joe is thinking about robustness when they see the ads. and apple is launching it as a beta anyway so what does that tell you about it? they show people in a car and running because those are situations when the feature would be most useful. i love the whole "apple is only better because they have better marketing" arguement. that is part of selling a product!! no one knew android had a feature and that is apple's problem? I'm merely stating facts, is it really that far fetched that big a part of apple's success is in it's marketing? you stated that their competitors are scrambling after the announcement of siri, but the truth is that it is apple who is behind in the tech and now they beautifully made it seem like they are changing the world. no one knew android had a feature and that's what made you think and write "whole new level of that" when it wasn't. no, it's not apple's fault nor do i care, I don't care either way.

goDel Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I agree that consumer joe doesn't really think. But even a non-thinking consumer will notice voice commands not working. If it doesn't work as expected, it won't be a success. No matter how it'll be marketed. Also, the fact that apple is actively marketing tells that their technique is pretty robust. Call me an Apple zealot, but Apple usually doesn't release new functionality if it doesn't work as expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure you have... Am I really saying something new when Apple can be pretty fascistic with what they release? They usually don't release half arsed products. And if they do - Apple TV - than they tell you so. And yes, mobile me is a good example. I'd still call them fascistic when it comes to their release policy though.
