Siri: ' What do you prefer: water, furnaces, mines, landfills, marshes? '.
Eric Schmidt, chairman and CEO of the recent past, Google, acknowledged that the voice technology Siri, used Apple's iPhone 4S, is a ' very significant ' and poses a threat to the core business search giant. This statement was made by Schmidt in the antitrust committee of the U.S. Senate, said CyberSecurity. ru.
Siri is a voice detector, capable of understanding human speech and translate it into the search query. Technically, such a system could threaten the popularity of the world 's largest search engine, recently actively implement speech recognition technology and the search for ' the voice '.
A year ago, Google representatives at similar hearings have stated that Apple does not pose any danger positions of the Internet giant in the market to find information. Now Schmidt acknowledges that competition in the search market has increased not only because of Siri, but also intensified as a result of the actions of other market participants, particularly Microsoft.
Siri is not proprietary to Apple, the company last year bought a Steve Jobs developed it in the same company that was created at one time came from SRI - International Center for Artificial Intelligence at Stanford University.
The work of Siri based on speech recognition technology, artificial intelligence systems Wolfram Alpha, and tight integration with other installed applications in the iPhone 4S. Siri requires an active Internet connection, since the query processing is carried out on the servers of Apple. To start Siri, you must either hold down the ' Home' for a few seconds and then touch the microphone icon on the screen, or just bring your phone to your ear.
In addition to the above features, the application also offers a read- aloud incoming text messages and emails as well as providing voice messages nadiktovyvanie. For example, you can change the status in Facebook, put a fresh idea in a note, saying a long letter.
Finally, Siri is able to handle search queries on Google, and the results will be linked to the current location of the user.
Siri used search engine Wolfram Alpha is running a famous scientist Stephen Wolfram, in May 2009. It is based on the mechanism of one of the most popular applications of computer algebra system Mathematica. The system does not try to find an answer to the current web request introduced as ' evaluates ' its own, using data from numerous public sources. The information is processed by several algorithms million, after which the user is provided with an answer to your search query.
Without resorting to a Web search, the system can, for example, to answer questions like ' What is the speed of the fastest car in the world? ', ' How many Americans are named Andrew? ' . Search engine is also able to solve the equations. According to the creators of the system, it is able to answer questions related to science, technology, culinary arts, business, music and other fields of human knowledge.
At first, many people mistakenly perceived as a normal Siri voice recognition feature, which offers its users a platform Google Android, Microsoft Windows Phone 7. But Siri was not simply a function of the ' voice recognition ', the newspaper notes Appleinsider. As it turned out, Siri has artificial intelligence, which helps to understand the user's commands and to respond to his questions - intelligently and wittily.
So far, Siri is represented in the iPhone 4S beta and only works in English, and her knowledge of geography is limited solely the USA. Does it ever will work in Russian - is not known, the more that Wolfram Alpha is available in English only.
