Own an Android and looking for a Siri alternative? Siri, the new voice activated assistant on the iPhone 4S, has taken the world by storm the last two months. What many people don't know is that the Vlingo Virtual Assistant has been around for many years, and offers much of the same assistant-like functionality. This is the first video in a series in which we'll take a look at Vlingo and Siri in a side-by-side comparison. I think what the video will show you is that Vlingo is the original, and still the best alternative to Siri. Here we compare how the Vlingo Virtual Assistant on Android handles some tasks that Apple has featured prominently in its advertising.

  • When I say "I feel like sushi" I just get a google search page, how come your demo shows a sort of directory for restaurants?

  • @dagayveggi What type of phone do you have? These examples were done using our Android app, but local search listings are available on Android, iPhone and BlackBerry. They may differ slightly platform to platform, however. Try saying "find sushi nearby" or something like that.

  • @dagayveggi Things work a little differently platform to platform. This demo was done on Android and all of the commands should work exactly as shown for Android phones. We're working on bringing more natural language to other platforms. In the meantime, try saying "Find sushi" and you should get the results you need.
