The free Google Search app can be sued to look up weather conditions, sports scores, movie showtimes, and the like. You cannot use Google Search for dictation like you can Siri, and the Google Search app will not automatically read the information to you like Siri does. However, Google Search does work on the iPhone 4. AppleVis did a comparison awhile ago between Siri and the Google Search apps. Look in their podcast listings on their site: www.applevis.com
The voice search button is right above the home button in Google Search. One downside to this app is it will track your location and there will be a location trracking item in your status bar. If you are not comfortable with this, then don't install the app. Regards, Wayne On 7/16/13, Jerry Mader <[email protected]> wrote: > I just tried flecksy, i like it. i also have speaktoit which is nifty too > but doesn't like voice over very well. lol. > later > jerry Mader > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Maria and Joe Chapman > To: [email protected] > Sent: Tuesday, July 16, 2013 7:08 AM > Subject: Re: Are there any apps i can get that are like siri? > > > HI for dictation try either dragon dictate or vohkul. there are others > but I have siri so don't know of them.
