Intrigued By Siri? Try Skyvi On Your Android Smartphone


Wish you didn’t have to spend so much time staring down at your Android smartphone? I sure do. In fact, I wish I didn’t have to attend to my phone so often and have it serve me whenever I wanted to. Virtual assistant software, such as Siri, might just be a step forward in converting our smartphones to smart personal assistants.
Are Android phone owners out of luck? Certainly not. Android developers have already been working very hard to bring Android fans Siri alternatives that can work in conjunction to Android’s built-in Voice Actions, which is unfortunately pretty underrated.
Today, we’ll take a look at Skyvi, an ad-supported app that’s currently free for a limited time only. It can help you read your social networking updates, find restaurants and answers, convert speech to text and more. Read on to see why else you should give Skyvi a try!

Find Establishments, Weather, Definitions & Trivia By Voice

Once you download and launch Skyvi, you can start dictating any actions after pressing on the bottom yellow microphone icon. You might notice that in order to get the most accuracy, you’ll have to speak more slowly and clearly. It might be best to try practicing a few times to get used to that slower mode, but that’s how it’s always been even with other speech recognition software Dragon Dictation.Via[makeuseof]
