Description: Google vs. Siri

What happens when you pit voice controlled assistants Google Now, Apple Siri and Microsoft's Cortana against each other? Google Now comes out a clear winner, but of what, exactly? Stone Temple Consulting wanted to test which of the three major voice- controlled. Phone interfaces provided the most helpful answers. That is which ones do the best job providing real answers and not just search result listings. And when the consulting company asked that specific question, Google now blew away the competition. According to Stone Temple of the more than 3, 000 queries. Google now provided the most results with added context and also completely answered the most questions, 88 percent. The team says scoring was harsh and goes on to explain how it tallied the results. If you asked, how old is the Great Wall of China, and the knowledge panel results showed that the Great Wall was completed in 206 BC, you got no credit. In addition, even if the first regular web search result shows the result in its description or title you also got no credit. But is there really a reason to be surprised? Prized. A writer for The Verge reminds us Google knows a thing or two about search results and of note, the company used examples from Google's search engine to show what it was looking for when testing Google, now Siri and Cortana. That led several outlets. To describe the study's results with words like unsurprisingly and debatable. Since Stone Temple appears to have used questions that would naturally play to Google Now's strengths. Some other interesting findings though, Bing came back with better results than Cortana. For the same questions. It's a possible indication Microsoft could improve Cortana by better integrating its search engine. Stone Temple says Siri completely answered just over half the questions it posed. 53 %. And Cortana completely answered 40 % of its questions
