Motorola Voice Actions vs Siri: Who Understands Better?

Sandra Lei

Motorola company was just bought by Google, so what better direct marketing to use rather than beating out the competition? Of course, this beating cannot possibly stand on words though; it needs a solid ground. Thus, Motorola and Google first picked on the intelligent and not so quite voice assistant launched by Apple, Siri.

In order to show the world which one is better, Motorola uses Android’s Voice Actions feature running on an Atrix 2, Photon 4G, and Electrify. In all three versions, the comparison can even slightly be named a comparison at all, because Apple’s Siri gets beaten in all cases. However, the videos cannot be truly relied on since they were released on the market by Motorola itself, making it not that much of an unbiased source.

Android’s Voice Actions and Apple’s Siri work in a similar manner, both needing a (good) network connection to be able to upload spoken queries through the cloud and to remote the processing servers so that they would interpret commands and come up with legit answers. It is true, Google’s Voice Actions was released almost two years ago, in August 2010, while Apple waited for the official launch of Siri to coincide with the debut of iPhone 4S. However, Voice Actions limits itself to preset commands to function, while Siri application can interpret natural language as well.

All in all, iPhone’s 4S Siri is beaten down three times by different Motorola phone versions, but whether the source is reliable and without previous editing – let the jury decide!

Below, you will find the links to all three demonstrations:
