It doesn't matter how you feel about Siri, but you can't deny the fact that this voice assistant has drawn a lot of attention from other global smartphone manufacturers to develop similar solutions. It is worth noting that voice control appeared a long time ago, just Siri brought it out
to a new level and made it more popular.
Soon after the presentation of Siri last spring, many companies began to actively develop and implement their own solutions: S-Voice from Samsung, Quick Voice from LG … RIM will now join this list, which, according to some statements, will introduce an analogue of Siri in the next update to BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha. In the video you can see the new assistant in action:
Do not forget that this is just an alpha version of the voice assistant. In the final release, BlackBerry may change it beyond recognition.
In the end, I would like to note that Apple not only launched a stream of Siri clones, but also contributed to the more active development of this segment. For example, many note that the Google Now feature in Android 4.1 works even better than Siri in some situations.
