Maluuba: Siri Alternative+ By Speaktoit
Expert's Review
Actually, you can ask her to Google anything, but that's just the tip of the iceberg, there's much more under the surface. It can answer you questions, find other info, launch apps, connect with various web services like social media, or just talk for fun.
It's fully integrated with Android OS: it can launch apps, get maps, search for images in your gallery, convert currency, look up weather reports... whatever you have in mind. Well, it actually can, however we've noticed some misunderstandings when you don't speak too loud or when there's environmental noise. At least that happens in the beginning. It seems that your assistant learns from your daily speaking and the more you talk to her, the better she will understand you.
You can customize assistant appearance: male, female, blonde, brunette, old, young... iSpeech provides their voices.
Although there are coming up lots of Siri-like apps, this is one of the best we've tried for Android. Recommendable.
