Siri vs Now vs Cortana vs BB Voice? BB Holds its Own
I just viewed this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hg8mjR1TCNs

comparing Now, Cortana, and Siri. I couldn't help but put my Z30 running 3175 up to the same challenge with exactly the same questions/commands. Z30 got all but two of them. I think they all missed at least two though.

The two it missed were:
- add a calendar appointment for dentist at 10:30 AM Saturday, and
- Beam me up Scotty
I was fairly impressed, especially considering the version in 10.3 is supposed to be much better. I was surprised it got planes over head, do you love me, what does the fox say, etc.

Pretty cool!

Also, I didn't keep an exact count but it seems like siri got the most misses in that video didn't?

Probably knew that the dentist office is closed on Saturday!

My son's IPhone 5 siri puts my z10 to absolute shame in terms of voice recognition.

I remember playing with the earlier 10.3 leak and was able to set up a dentist appointment. Can you try speaking the following 'make a dentist appointment on July 15 at 12 PM'? I would guess BlackBerry should improve their voice commands for making such calendar events as they consider it a business phone.

Wow I feel stupid. I sat there for about half the video waiting for him to start testing BB Voice then read your post.

I think it did. It started pretty ugly for poor Siri ... wasn't looking good.
