In the iPhone 4S, Apple implemented the Siri personal assistant that any iDevice owner wants to install on his own terminal. Unfortunately, at the moment there is no method that allows us to install a fully functional Siri on any other iDevice apart from the iPhone 4S, but this is where Evi comes in. Evi is an application for Android and iOS that incorporates almost everything that Siri has, but also comes with some extra things. Although Evi cannot open applications and run various commands through iOS applications, the application can still provide much better results than Siri because it uses other websites to search for information for users.
Ask "Who was President when Queen Elizabeth II was born". Siri is unable to provide an answer and suggests performing a web search. Evi determines who Queen Elizabeth II is, when she was born, the dates when she will have been a teenager and then compares this against which US presidents were in office over that time, delivering the results of both serving US presidents during those years. Not bad huh.
More than that, Evi is able to provide information about locations even in Great Britain and the best part is that the Nuance system is used to recognize commands, which is also available in Siri. Evi is available for both Android and iOS, but the iOS application costs €0.79 because its developers have to cover the license to use the voice command recognition system designed by Nuance and not available in the Android version. Evi does not use the system designed by Apple for Siri that knows how to follow a conversation, but it comes with The True Knowledge Answer Engine which in general should do the same thing.
Evi is not Siri, but it is an application that imitates the assistant from iOS 5 quite well and in some respects even surpasses it.
