They release an imitation of the Siri voice assistant for Windows Phone
Since a few months ago the application Siri was presented together with the new iPhone 4S , the developers have wasted no time There are already several applications that imitate the operation of Siri on other platforms including Ask Ziggy, built for mobile with Windows Phone 7 A complete assistant capable of solving almost any type of doubt just by asking it, using voice commands
The similarity of Ask Ziggy with Siri, and the Other applications of this type also reside in its visual aspect All queries are made through a main screen. Here, all you have to do is press the Ask Ziggy button so that the voice recognition is activated and you can dictate orders to the terminal Of course, the terminal must have a wireless Internet connection to be able to search for information.
When this data is found, the question asked and the answer found is shown on a new screen And, if it is not possible to show said information, the assistant indicates that by clicking on the bubble of the question, you can go to the page where the required data is found.So there's usually always what you're asked for, even if you can't translate it and dictate it to the user with a speech synthesizer.
Specifically, Ask Ziggy is able to find answers to weather information , addresses, mathematical calculations, etc But the surprising thing is that it is also integrated with actions of the terminal itself, being able to compose a text message, order a call or , even, update the profile of different social networks, among other functions. Qualities that make a smartphon an even more companion useful
However, this application has a negative point, and that is that it has not yet been located at Spanish, so it is necessary to set the parameters of the terminal in English, to be able to issue orders in this language and recognize them.The good thing is that it is an application completely free, which also dispenses with advertisements. Ask Ziggy only compatible with terminals Windows Phone 7 with version 7.5 Handle Available from Windows Phone Marketplace
