Google's move is said to catch the functions that Microsoft has put into the search engine company's Bing, Bing can give direct answers to questions about flights, travel and some asked the other samples.
Wolfram Alpha has also provided a similar function, after the user given query, Wolfram Alpha will query to a large data set and the user replies with a detailed report.
 

 
Amit Singhai Google recently said the company is working on a huge database of information of the "entity". Although data is not clear whether Google's "people, places, things" that includes what, but potentially the company's strategy Wolfram Alpha is not much different.

Siri What?

Siri is a large and long-term plan of the Apple. At the event "Let's Talk iPhone", Apple just launched the beta version, Apple promised to support more languages ​​for this service (currently only supports the languages ​​English, French and German) and integrated Siri with more devices and expand more features. But what exactly is Siri? Siri is used to do?

Apple wants to give us something bigger, Siri Apple created as an "assistant" to live inside your equipment. Siri not only help you manage the basic functions of a phone such as calling, texting, but also the ability to search for advanced Web information and provide you, such as providing the restaurant in the region, prompting you to bring your raincoat when it's going to rain ...

Siri - Apple's humble personal assistant could reshape the way We use our phones

One special thing is that you do not need to use the phrase to describe individual commands. According to Apple, Siri able to understand the context of your words. For example, you could say "What's the weather like today? (Your weather like today)," or "Is it going to rain today?" (Today it's not rain), in both cases Siri still display the weather forecast for you today. You can use Siri, in many cases. When you're at home, reported receiving a phone message, simply press and hold the Home button to activate Siri, and ordered "Read my message!" (Please read my message!), A robotic female voice will read the new message for you. Some may argue that reading a message in the usual way will be faster.

The cons of Siri

According to common sense, we do not believe that Siri will be perfect. The biggest problem is whether to think Siri Siri has always understood exactly what we say? If you have an appointment with an important partner, but Siri misplace your appointment now it will be like? ...
Another problem is the support of Siri limited language. Siri currently only supports the languages ​​English, French and German.
Although Siri can go into operation on the different functions of the IOS, but Apple also acknowledges that we do not do it all with Siri, so can not do everything by voice only. In addition, to this point, Siri can only use the application's default IOS operating system. This means that Syria will not be used on its other applications.

User expectations

Siri is a really interesting applications with much improved through voice recognition, but this feature is still quite new and sophisticated users. In addition to providing users a voice control application simple and effective, Apple should create an entirely new way to interact with the phone.
