Hi guys,
I have a friend using an iPhone 4, and he is looking for a good, accessible Siri alternative. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Michael
I haven't found a single app that satisfies my Siri envy. For me, a combination approach works best.
For playing selected music, I use the built in Voice Control
For email, texting, and Facebook updates, I use Vokul.
For setting appointments and reminders, I use Voice Assistant,.
For answers to questions, I use Voice Answer .
I also like Evi for some or all of these chores. It does most things okay, but I find the above apps do a better job of select tasks.
I have used voice actions while running my iphone 4. It handled research queries & performed serie like tasks as well as serie. It would send a text or email, do a google search, launch music etc. It is a paid app in the app store, however is worth the money if one does not have serie. I have upgraded my phone to a 4s, with serie therefore not needing it anymore. Check it out.
Being a sucker for this stuff, I just got Voice Actions. It appears that it does not work with VO turned on. Is this the case, or am I doing something wrong. Once it loads, I get a screen with no obvious elements.

No one suggestion.

I like the combo apps as well
Is Voice Actions VO Compatible?

My thoughts
Michael,
Must agree that you can't replace and use just one app to duplicate in what Siri can do.
So here are my top3 must have for Siri replacements:
VoiceTexter - Stop typing. Say it!
Assistant - Voice Controlled Time Management
Evi
With those three you can come really close in what Siri does. Now of course there are a few things that Siri still can do that we just can't do.
If you really want I would also check out Vokul as well. However, I find myself using VoiceTexter way more for the same task.
If you are interested I have some podcast in what I've mentioned above:
