Google Android Majel To Fight Apple Siri
Google is working on Apple Siri competitor and is calling it 'Majel'. Apple recently shocked the world with the extra-awesome capabilities of voice enabled assistant in Apple iPhone 4S called Siri. Siri can understand human instructions and then perform searches to bring you the relevant information. It can perform tasks such as setting a birthday reminder or alarm as well. Google Android must respond with a solution and a secret project initiated inside Google several weeks ago. Right now more information is being unearthed about the project. Google's answer to Siri is 'Majel' and it's an improvement over the existing 'Voice Actions'. Voice actions requires you to give very specific instructions like 'Send text to <name>'. Majel will make the interaction more human like.
Google's engineers hint that they want to achieve something like Star Trek; where everything is voice-aware. Earlier speculations by eminent bloggers indicated that Google might include an avatar to represent the assistant. However, the latest information reveals that it might just be an icon just like Siri. We'd ideally prefer talking Tom 😉
