Another Siri wanna be lands on the market, what's your take on It?

Ever since Siri hit the iPhone, there has been a whole slew of apps claiming to take it on. Is voice recognition so new that the world feels like it must compete for space in the market? Hasn’t services like Vlingo been around forever, in tech terms? I feel like the whole voice recognition service and apps have been utterly run into the dirt thanks to Siri. For some reason though, that doesn’t stop people from creating similar apps and and comparing themselves to it.

Enter Skyvi from BlueTornado. Another Siri ‘competitor’. So they say, literally, “Got Siri jealousy? Get Skyvi Now!” Does that mean it is any less productive or fun to mess around with? not really. Voice Recognition software is still a great idea, it just lacks in so many places that I personally can’t enjoy it. But, if you are looking for a comical companion to make yourself feel better and have a laugh or two with, then have at it.

Skyvi offersÂ –

-Fun chats, witty remarks, tells jokes
-Access Facebook with voice
-Access Twitter with voice
-Tweet or Update Facebook with Voice
-Ask questions with voice
-> When is Britney Spear’s Birthday?
-> What’s the weather like in San Francisco?
-> How many calories are in a Bagel?

All rather entertaining but not always that useful. The application also provides optional Facebook and Twitter integration and the ability to ask for things near your location, what a concept.

The market rating for the app are fairly high, 4.4 out of 2,740 ratings. I would naturally assume that the application is easily worth your time and effort if you are looking for something that can work fairly well. The development team seems to also be on point answering questions and making improvements based on your feed back.
