Siri Assistant (Free)
Version 1.0
REVIEW – ” A great voice recognition app that really gets things done.”
Siri Assistant may be the best free iphone app that I have come across in a very long time. There were many moments that I wondered why an app like this would be given away for free, because it is incredibly efficient and useful.
With most voice recognition apps I expect to be misheard and definitely misunderstood at least half the time. This was not true with Siri, there were only a few instances where the app did not pick up on what I was trying to say, and sometimes it even worked with noises and voices in the background.
Siri combines many apps that I already have on my iPhone into one easy to use, voice activated app. Need to find a good restaurant, movie times or flight information? Siri can do all of that and more simply by my asking it to.
All I had to do was click say and something like ” Table for 4 Texas de Brazil tomorrow” led me to Open Table where I could see the available times for the following evening. I could look up information for a Delta flight and not only see where it was landing and when but I could see a map of where it was on its journey.
Siri can even find local shops and businesses, give you quick link to call them or lead you to more information and directions. When I looked up movie times for the local theater I could even get movie summaries or watch the movie trailer, all within one voice activated app. This is great for when I am driving and want to get an idea of when things are playing without having to do any typing at all.
The voice recognition might give you a bit of trouble if you have an accent but my husband was able to get it working for him, though many of his requests were a bit strange and obscure to begin with
.
I was truly impressed by this app and it is one that I can really see myself using quite often as an easy way to get directions, movie times, nearby restaurants…I can even do a web search by saying “ask bing” which means that just about everything that I use the iPhone for can now be easily voice activated.
Give this app a try while you can because I enjoyed it and since it is free, you really cannot go wrong.

Sounds good. Shame there is the usual absense in every review I see of any mention of whether it is available outside America, half of iPhone users are outside America.
