Siri Absolutely Slaughters Microsoft’s TellMe In This Voice Recognition Battle [Video]

Siri Absolutely Slaughters Microsoft’s TellMe In This Voice Recognition Battle [Video]

Craig Mundie, Microsoft’s chief strategy and research officer, recently said that Windows Phone 7 beat Siri to the punch. In an interview, Mundie argued that Apple only marketed Siri well, and that Microsoft has had the same technology for more than a year already.

Jason from TechAU has created a video face-off between Microsoft’s voice recognition software, called TellMe, and Siri on the iPhone 4S. We’ll let you guess which one actually works.

Jason tries to create a meeting, send a text message, check the time, and play an artist. While Siri gets each command correct, TellMe fails miserably every time.

This video comparison doesn’t even demonstrate Siri’s ability to understand context. Had Jason said something like, “Do I need an umbrella tomorrow?” Siri would have been able to determine what he had meant.

The point isn’t to be first, the point is to be the best.
