iOS 5 has Siri, Android have Iris

I believe most of you would have know what is Siri that introduced on the iPhone 4S launch couple of days ago.

This cool human-interaction alike voice assistant features has inspired Android's developer to an app which similar to Siri and named it Iris. Yeah! It's the reverse of Siri, Siri Iris, Iris Siri. Get it?



It works just the same by throwing in a question and she will talk to you on any topic ranging from Philosophy, Culture, History, Science to General conversation.

This app is still an alpha version, be expected to get some inaccurate answers. A quite interesting interactive voice assistant that does not limit just on iOS.

Give it a try by downloading it from Android Market.

Note: You need to have "Voice Search" and "TTS library" installed in your phone for iris. to work. Most of the phones have these pre-installed, if not please install them from Android market before you try iris.
