iris. Free iris. makes your phone talk on topics ranging from Mozart to stock prices. Something that started out as a tongue-in-cheek reply to iPhone’s Siri, iris. has grown much bigger than being just a Siri clone.

Update: Just added Robin

Robin, the Siri Challenger Free Need quick answers on the go, hands-free? Robin is your voice assistant for local information, GPS navigation, communication and fun! And she’ll help keep your eyes on the road and off your perfectly-formed phone. Voice in, voice out.

Although you cannot find it in Google Play, if you have a Galaxy S3, Note 2, or newer Samsung Galaxy device; you already have it!

S Voice Free Samsung answered Apple’s Siri with S Voice, a virtual voice assistant that can accomplish things like setting appointments, tell the weather, make a call, send text messages, search, navigate and more all by voice. In the video above we have some fun with the capabilities but our overall opinion, just like Siri, the technology still needs a lot of work to be more useful.

Installed “Robin” last week (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.magnifis.parking) and I really like it. My current device is a Droid Bionic, so still on 4.0.4 – from what I hear the new features in 4.1 and above may make all of these moot…?

  @Michael There are some nice additions in 4.1 and 4.2 like Google Now (the cool voice assistant app), improved notification, improved camera app, voice typing, and swipe gesture typing.
