I ran more than half a dozen contenders through their paces, testing them for various functions to communicate (make calls, send messages), organize (keep track of appointments) and find information. On the other hand, there are a couple of things Android voice-activated apps do that Siri can't - for example, use "launch " commands and head directly to websites. Unlike iPhone 4S users, though, you'll need to gather together a couple of different apps if you want to issue a wide range of voice commands on your Android device.
However, it is possible to get a fair chunk of Siri's functionality. I, too, would like a "personal assistant" that responds to natural language requests such as "Move my meeting from 3 to 4." And I'm sure I'm not alone, as the millions of Google search results for "Siri for Android" attest.Ĭan you create a Siri-like experience on an Android smartphone? Not exactly, as there's no single app baked into the OS that can handle a similarly wide range of requests using free-form natural language.
Although I'm happy with my Samsung Galaxy S II Android phone, I've also got a bad case of Siri envy.
