Talking to your smartphone has become a normal thing in the current going world. There is a large potential for future innovation in the field of speech technology and personal assistants. It started with the Apple’s Siri, then came the Google now and now finally we have someone from Microsoft known as Cortana. As the number of Android users in the world is big so I guess you should know what’s Google Now.
The battle between Google Now and Siri has been going
on from the past 3 years when Google Now was called the “Innovation of the Year”
by the Popular Science. Microsoft’s Cortana joined this battle not much long
and now the battles starts, which one is the best of them.
The Answer to which
one is best cannot be given. It’s a long on-going debate. But we can take a
certain condition and find the result among the three. A test on different
languages when put to Google Now, Siri and Cortana, Siri stands tall.
Siri is the best personal assistant when put to test on
the ground of foreign languages. Following Siri is Google Now but Cortana lead in
terms of web search. Siri provides the maximum accuracy across all languages
while Google suffer and stays behind Cortana in terms of a main language
English.

Conclusion:
We have a winner in terms of the best
multilingual chops: Siri. While Cortana being not old performs pretty well and
bets Google Now in terms of its growth and some languages. Google, I guess need
to roll back to school and take the language classes if it wants to stand.
