So you own an Android
phone and you’re jealous of iPhone 4S owners having Siri as their
personal assistant. Luckily, the awesome people of Dexetra created an
application for Android (in just 8 hours!) called Iris (spell backward
and you know what it is), you can now experience Siri like application
for your Android.
Iris
is not as good and functional as Siri, but I had fun playing with it.
It let me compose a message by talking to it and send it to the person
on my phonebook. It also let me call a person on my contact list. I did
encounter some problems with some names not properly identified like the
name “Jomar” who Iris understood as John Mayer. Iris is also good with
having conversation on general information and when it doesn’t
understand you, it’ll give you some random funny answer or question.
Iris is still in Alpha
version and can be downloaded for free on the Android Market. If you
want other personal assistant application, you can try other alternative
like Vlingo which is more accurate and functional but not half as fun.
