Iris is an attempt to use existing Android voice actions technology to clone Apple’s Siri feature, whereas you can talk to the phone and it not only talks back but performs your instructions. Developer Dexetra claims to have pulled it off in only 8 hours too. Although the app is currently in an Alpha testing state, when you ask the correct questions it does come back with responses and can perform simple tasks such as call & text someone, search something on the web, or look up a contact; plus have conversations ranging from Philosophy, Culture, History, Science to general conversation. What is lacks in complete functionality it makes up for in quirky humor (check the vid below). Noted is a prerequisite, the TTS Library app must be installed. Download the app below:

iris Free iris. makes your phone talk on topics ranging from Einstein to Mozart. Yeah, Iris is siri in reverse. Inspired from the iPhone feature Siri, iris interacts with you in voice. Gone are the days when you “Google searched” for information. Just “ask” iris. She will talk to you on any topic. Ranging from Philosophy, Culture, History, science to general conversation. 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.
