Apple improves Siri accuracy, abandons some Google web services

  After the release Crab in 2011, the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), promised to constantly work on improving the functionality of his personal assistant for iDevices, and today we have a new proof of the fact that his promises were not forgotten. If you look at the image above, you will notice that iOS 7 improved the functionality in many ways Crab, but to the same extent it offers weaker results for certain types of queries, although overall we are talking about solving problems where it matters most.

  This positive evolution of the personal assistant available in iDevices comes against the background of Apple's efforts to abandon many of the company's services Google. If in 2012 27% of Siri's answers were based on information provided by Google's web services, well this month only 4% of the answers are based on information provided by Google. It is interesting that Apple reduced the dependence on Google during the use of iOS 6, and starting with iOS 7, Yahoo, Wikipedia and Bing have taken over the role of providing useful information for users.

  In the end, there remains a comparison made between the accuracy of the answers given by Crab si Google Now, and as you can see, the two assistants are roughly equally good, with Google's software having a slight advantage. In conclusion, Siri has evolved a lot in the course of a single year, despite the fact that Google was largely excluded from Apple's system.
