Siri Vs. TellMe – The Voice Assistants Fight!

Who hasn’t heard of “Siri”, the personal voice assistant available with iPhone 4s winning the hearts of many! But what you might have not heard about is Microsoft’s “TellMe”. Yes you heard that right.. Microsoft launched its own branded Voice Assistant which would work hand in hand with WP7. You might be excited to know that how well this combo will work and is it better than Apple’s Siri. Well I will answer all your questions and even will show you the live performance on Siri and TellMe side by side.

Microsoft is not new to voice assistant thing, it introduced it’s own voice assistant way back before even Siri was launched. We could see it even with Kinnect Accessories and Windows Phone. But what has not changed since then is the ability of Microsoft’s Voice Assistant to recognize voice properly. Users already reported this problem with Kinnect Voice Accessory and same is the case with it’s Mobile Voice Assistant i.e. TellMe.
TellMe can not understand you until you stress every syllable, this isn’t natural at all when compared to Siri. Let’s not waste more time talking, instead I’ll show you this video first which shows the side by side comparison of both the voice assistants..
The results speak for itself. Microsoft is way behind in this game, they will surely need to teach TellMe a lot on how to obey its master.. So we wish Microsoft to copy up in this game and pray Siri becomes more intelligent with its future releases.
