  • Tests find iOS 7 update improves Apple's Siri, but Google Now for Android closes the gap

    Siri vs. Now is one thing.

    But I also use dictation often to do searches, and Apple gets my words right most of the time, while Google almost never does. When Apple gets something wrong, I speak more carefully the second time and it works. With Google (searching in the YouTube app comes to mind) I can try, try again and just never get anything close to the words I spoke. In addition, Google responds much more slowly than Apple does. (I'm a native English speaker with no unusual accent.)

    So either Google's not all they're cracked up to be or (unlikely) they intentionally make their voice tech fail in their iOS apps. I haven't tested the Android versions.

    But two heads are better than one! The most common use I have for Siri: hold phone to my eat and say "Google search ___________." Great time saver!
