Assistant for Windows Phone brings voice control for free during limited offer [Video]

Although many people are using Ask Ziggy on Windows Phone these days, the search for a feasible alternative to the iPhone'southward Siri continues. While nosotros're unsure of what Microsoft has planned in this arena for Windows Phone eight, WP7 users certainly want options.

A new alternative is on the Marketplace now called simply enough 'Assistant'. Information technology's fabricated by Speak To Information technology and while information technology ordinarily costs $0.99 it'south going for gratuitous now for the first 10,000 downloads.

It uses the same Nuance voice engine as Enquire Ziggy, and then in that regards information technology'southward not necessarily whatsoever better nor worse. Only the UI design and layout are quite nice. You get a custom Avatar to interact with and a choice of iv different voices (United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland and US English). The app can learn your proper name and you lot tin can name it too (we called ours Siri of course).

The app has some bugs and on the first time loading, it tends to hang (just hit the Windows primal and re-launch). Over just Wi-Fi it didn't work—at to the lowest degree not on our Titan II though it performed well on our Lumia 900. Since information technology uses Nuance, it is hit or miss with accuracy but we do like the options including the ability to Tweet or update our Facebook. It can even create notes and so upload them to EverNote which is quite useful. Assistant heavily relies on Google instead of Bing which some may notice off-putting.

Would nosotros pay for it? Probably not. But for free there's piffling reason to not get it if it'due south something you call up you would utilise. See our video review to see how it works.

You can pick Banana up here in the Windows Telephone Marketplace for $0 while you can. Cheers, Barry W., for the heads up
