voice recognition

I assume the same software that powers the voice recognition and interpretation in the Bentley will be available on the BB10 devices as well.
Hopefully, it will be better than Siri.
You see, we probably have learned something about BB10 from CES.

Why do people always compare to Siri?

Google Now is way better than Siri. We have to hope that the BB10 voice recognition is comparable to Google Now

If you scroll down to post #106 I've posted the new SayIt app redesigned for BB10. Looks pretty nice and certainly sounds more pleasant than Siri:

Same reason why everyone compares the mp3 player with an iPod. Apple made it, so it's golden.

I haven't used Siri or Google Now. I have only used similar services. So i can't speak on which is better.

The Google App (Google Now is a feature of the app, but not the app itself), has overlapping features with Siri, but on the whole they are very different. Google excels as a search tool whereas Siri excels as an assistant. That being said, I doubt B10's generic voice control feature will be as useful or functional as Siri, but it's likely to get the job done.
