What happened to the cowboy from the Village People?

Unusual questions to Google Search and Siri. Test on both devices Colette Ann Gaus asked the same questions, which formed part of a few weeks in everyday situations in a Google search. So in addition to the above-mentioned questions, among others fell how much you should tip the limo driver, etc. Almost every time the iPhone Siri explained that he could not give the results, did not understand the questions or simply gave bad results.

Meanwhile, Android Jelly Bean fared much better with the tasks. Just display the results of relevant images or text by Google Search.

Google検索とシリに珍しい質問。両方のデバイスコレットアンガウス上のテストでは、Google検索における日常生活での数週間の一部を形成した同じ質問を尋ねた。だから、上記の質問に加えて、他の人の間で落ちたあなたは、iPhoneのSiriのは、彼が結果を与えることができなかったことを説明し、ほぼ毎回リムジンの運転等を傾けるべき質問を理解していなかったか、単に悪い結果を与えたいくら。

一方、アンドロイドジェリービーンは、タスクとはるかに良い善戦。ちょうどGoogle検索して、関連する画像やテキストの結果を表示します。

谷歌搜索和Siri的不寻常的问题。测试两个设备上科莱特安高斯问同样的问题，在日常情况下，在谷歌搜索了几个星期的组成部分。因此，在除了上述的问题，其中包括下降你应该多少小费，豪华轿车司机，等等，几乎每次iPhone Siri的解释说，他不能给的结果，不明白的问题或干脆放弃坏的结果。

同时，Android果冻豆的任务表现得更好。只显示相关的图片或文字通过谷歌搜索的结果。

The future of speech recognition

4 000 000 iPhone 4S Apple only sold during the first weekend of its release. The main arguments in favor of buying, Siri - built-speaking assistant, understands asked questions and providing answers.
Siri correct operation of the system allows complex processes running in the background. Researchers and technology visionaries believe that the speech recognition solution for the future. Analyst Shannon Cross of Cross Research's speech considered to be the most natural medium to issue commands and is of the opinion that - thanks to the software, Siri - Apple in a few years mastered the speech recognition market. Even Bill Gates believes that voice control will be successful - but only when the command recognition accuracy will be sufficient. For this reason, Microsoft's equivalent of Siri, known as Tellme, still did not go beyond the R & D department.
5000 words in 1984 could identify the speech recognition system from IBM, and every single analysis dealt a few minutes. His modern successors can distinguish more than 300 000 words and recognize individual words takes only seconds. However, while manufacturers boast recognition accuracy of 99 percent., It specifically Polish language makes computers a hard time. First, the average user of the Polish language, operating an average of 4,000 words, it has an advanced vocabulary. To express a similar content of American will need only about 800 words. In addition to the enormous difficulties associated with distinguishing homophones, words with the same pronunciation but different in meaning.
3 seconds on average, need to understand the question asked in the game show "Jeopardy," and give the correct answer created by the IBM computer Watson speaking naturally. For its creators - David Ferrucciego - right next to the most important thing is to recognize words primarily semantic and statistical analysis. With these tools, devices in the future will be able to understand the actual content of speech and search for needed information and manage contacts and appointments.
Siri - the facts
Military invention: In 2003, the agency DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) commissioned the Institute to create an intelligent assistant SRI called CALO (Cognitive Agent That Learns and Organises). The contract value amounted to approximately $ 175 million. In 2008, on the basis of previous work prepared for the consumer version - Siri. Apple acquired Siri project in 2010.
Other devices running iOS: Using a new trick, you can also install Siri for older iPhone 4 and iPod Touch. However, the device must first be unlocked via jailbreak procedure.
Fuel Transfer: Service Ars Technica measured the amount of data sent from Siri to Apple's servers while processing a single query - an average of 37 KB.
Areas of application of speech recognition
Tools notingUnlike other areas of application software for personal computers is important to adjust to a specific user. To achieve high accuracy of recognition, you need to read the voice dictating tool.
Effectiveness: Groups of people often use the same professional vocabulary, such as lawyers or doctors, achieve recognition accuracy of 99 percent. Writers and journalists, using a wide vocabulary, they must pay a much lower efficiency.
Automated call centersCompanies and agencies use simplified voice recognition systems, understanding only the digits or a single word.
Effectiveness: Results when choosing simple options are very good. But even a slight accent makes it impossible to obtain information - then, like many other call center, comes into play alive employee.
TranslationsAppy for smartphones such as the free Google Translate tool to translate languages ​​in real time.
Effectiveness: The results are surprisingly good. This application Google recognizes several languages.
CarsMercedes, Audi, Ford and Fiat use to control equipment and mobile multimedia solutions leader board car market - the company Nuance. Just like the iPhone 4S Siri, a voice-controlled navigation system is able to recognize names from your address book connected to the phone.
Efficiency: Depending on the intensity of noise when driving and the quality of the microphone system is able to recognize almost all of the commands, if they are not integrated into complex sentences.
