The tenth round goes to Siri. What use is a robot assistant if it can't keep on top of your calendar?. S Voice: The S3's wordy one clearly prefers rather staid commands, so I follow the help advice and use the phrase "new event" -- making up an imaginary lunch date with Zack on 21 July 21 at 1pm. I'm hopeful that S Voice can handle this, but at first it returns 'network error'. I put this down to Wi-Fi and/or 3G gremlins and try again, and after thinking about it for an insolent amount of time, S Voice successfully schedules a meeting -- albeit without a title or a reference to who the meeting is with.
An appointment without info about who I'm supposed to be meeting is not a proper appointment in my book, but I'll give S Voice the benefit of lovecases paradise lust iphone 6s / 6 case - what-a-melon the doubt and chalk that up as a (tepid) win, Siri: I ditch the 'new event' wording and ask Siri to "schedule an appointment with Zack at 1pm on July 21st", Its response is fast and slick: "Okay, I set up your meeting with Zack., " I know which assistant would certainly not be getting fired today, The eleventh round is a tie (just), I feel like I should get to know a little more about my not-always-trusty assistants, seeing as they are working for me, Can they tell me what their favourite colour is without getting their knickers in a twist? This question doesn't help me in any way, but if they can understand queries like this it might convince me they're more than just a disembodied robot voice, Or not..
S Voice: Finally the S3 doesn't hesitate and ploughs right on in to an intelligible answer. Or it would be intelligible if S Voice didn't dictate symbols as if they were words. So the resulting answer sounds a little something like this: "Blue. No yel hyphen hyphen auuuuuuuugh!" In the battle to convince me of its human credentials, S Voice just fell on its hyphenated face. Siri: In a typically slick display, Apple's virtual Jeeves responds on cue with the following: "My favorite colour is.. Well, I don't know how to say it in your language. It's sort of greenish, but with more dimensions." I'm not sure Siri has made me think of it as any more human, but at least it paused in the middle of its answer, rather than articulating 'dot dot dot' or the word 'ellipsis'.
The twelfth round goes to Siri, I'm giving the robot butlers a chance to boast -- if nothing else this should be entertaining., S Voice: lovecases paradise lust iphone 6s / 6 case - what-a-melon Instead of "what is the best smart phone", the S3 hears "what the best smart phone" so consequently returns with: "I'm not sure what you mean by what the best smart phone", This is just getting embarrassing, Siri: Of course Siri has no trouble answering this -- or rather not answering it, and thus answering it by implication, It returns: "You're kidding right?" Full marks for savvy and sass to Apple then..
The thirteenth round goes to Siri. Relying on a voice assistant as a quick way to update Twitter could be pretty handy -- assuming it works. Let's give it a shot. S Voice: The S3 grasps what I'm up to first time and handily tells me I need to authorise the Vlingo for Android app so it can post tweets on my behalf. After authorising the app, I try again and one "I didn't catch that" later, it's offering to post a tweet for me. The wording isn't 100 per cent perfect -- I said 'testing S Voice' it heard 'testing voice' but it's not a bad effort. Huzzah.
