Today the folks at CNet posted a new video comparison between Siri and Google Now, both of them are against each others r in a live test. To make it as scientific as possible, the site says that both phones were disconnected from their mobile networks and have been connected to the same Wi-Fi network. So don’t worry there is no place for cheating.
So after watching this deadly fight between Google Now and Siri, which one from them is the best ? I would argue that, as stated in the video, both have their respective strengths. Google Now seems really good at finding information. But Siri is much better at productivity tasks, like setting appointments.
It’ll be interesting to watch these two products evolve over the next few years. Both Apple and Google are obviously investing a lot of time and resources into them, as well as into the idea that one day voice input will not just be a secondary input or a gimmick.
