Last October we did echo of a purchase by Apple , which had a special meaning. It was VocalIQ, a company that was developing an own virtual assistant with great potential could compete and even surpass the Siri’s Apple, Google Now or Microsoft Cortana. After several months, new details of the speed and smoothness of response that could offer Siri to integrate this new technology come to light. It seems that in Cupertino are working hard to offer this new update.
No longer with a wizard to give answer to simple questions or searches of certain data in a search engine, but it is necessary to go a step further and offer really comprehensive searches that include additional data and return a response to us complete. The great change that would bring Siri with its new update using the nucleus of VocalIQ would be a drastic increase in responsiveness of the wizard. With VocalIQ, while Siri would be able to respond successfully to the 90% of our requests and questions that Google Now current, Siri or Cortana are only able to do so at 20% of the time, so it would result in levels close to perfection when it comes to return answers.
But this is not all, because this type of answers would be of much more complex questions. As for example ask our phone by a nearby restaurant that also has parking and Wi-Fi. Searches would not only be limited to nearby of a type, they would enter in game new differentiating factors from one place to another that would give us an exact answer to what you are looking for. Even if we change our opinion later and asked him to find another similar restaurant in the area, you will remember that addition that restaurant must have parking and Wifi, is the big difference.
Also VocalIQ on Siri core learning curve is much shorter, because you have to keep in mind that Apple assistant receives billion queries per week, while VocalIQ has only been exposed to 10,000 users of test questions during this time, and despite the fewer sentences and questions which have accessed achieved a rate much higher than success in satisfactory answers Siri or current competitors. This new technology could be a huge step forward for the virtual assistant and a great setback for competitors of Google and Microsoft.
