Google Voice vs Siri

[Winnow]

For the record: Google Voice > Siri

I was visiting relatives for Christmas this year and I can't believe how often I was using Google Voice and Siri.

Google Voice is plain faster and better than Siri. (at least for now) For example, when I was checking the status of an inbound flight, Google easily gave me detailed (spoken word) updates on flight times/status by just saying the Airline Name and the Flight Number while Siri found jack shit and just did a google search.

Even though I have Siri, I find myself using Google Voice. Amazing how fast you can get info. Google also tends to have more voice responses as opposed to text responses.

On the other hand, I finally tested out using voice based driving directions with Apple Maps and it worked fantastic. It got me right to my doorstep from about 100 miles out. I'll try Google Maps next time but I'm not really looking at maps, just the verbal prompts with the phone display turned off and Apple Maps worked great.

Whether it's Siri or Google Voice, voice based control has come a long way and will only get better. I really didn't use voice until this past trip and now I'm kind of hooked after getting used to it. Both Siri and Google Voice have been extremely accurate (at least with understanding what I'm saying)

I have an overwhelming urge to post the porn star, Siri, but I won't.

Siri & GV seem to be the new public epeen extender. We know you have a iPhone, so does that crackwhore on the corner. We're not impressed.

The Google voice recognition is pretty amazing. Makes finding that nugget of information to shoot down the bullshit that comes up in conversation so fast.

Dude, just about everyone has it now with Android and Apple.

I wasn't using it to impress people. I can see how it might be annoying if you are standing next to someone using it but that's kind of tough shit these days.

Why mention iPhone when it's Google Voice I was saying was the best? Android users don't use that feature? That was one of the few things I liked right away on my Nexus 7. It's fast and extremely useful in a car or somewhere you can't type out a search on your phone.

Wasn't (necessarily) talking about you and it is quite useful when your hands are supposed to be occupied as when driving.

Was referring to the dumbasses who shout "where to buy Grey Poupon!!!" into their phone in the middle of a crowd.
