True Knowledge has released a formidable competitor to Apple's iPhone 4S Virtual Assistant, Siri. Ladies and Gentleman, meet Evi.
Available for £0.69 ($A1.02) from the App Store or as a free beta in the Android Market, Evi is compatible with all iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch devices running iOS 4.0 and above – a real advantage over Siri which won’t officially work on anything other than an iPhone 4S.
Evi comes packing the same Nuance voice recognition that powers Siri. Having access to a database of nearly 1 billion facts and integration with Yelp and other services should give it enough firepower to stand up to its Apple-made rival.
The only thing Evi can’t do is integrate with your calendars, alarms and reminders – but we’re hoping a future update will soon change that.
Why not watch the video below and take Evi for a spin? Just try not to neglect Siri too much. It might get jealous and take revenge with a flurry of early morning alarms…
