Apple’s voice-controlled assistant Siri appears here to stay, with the feature retained for the iPhone 5.
If you are unconvinced by Siri, but still want to issue voice commands to your iPhone, Vlingo is among the front runners you should be checking out.
The app contains an “intent engine” which works out what you are asking it to do and respond accordingly.
You can use the app to send texts, set reminders, find out the weather in another country, update your Facebook status – pretty much anything.
Vlingo, which was acquired by rival Nuance earlier this year, says that its system works better than Siri as it better understands slang, while others claim that Siri is preferable as it is more integrated.
Why not try out both to see which one works best for you.
