Apple’s Siri which is known a lot is been targeted by the giant Google Majel. Most of the Google workers are trying the best to take upon the Siri, which is greatest part of the Iphone 4s. By natural voice commands Siri had became a burning issue in the the market.
This software is supported by Google Android but natural process is not being supported and capabilities are limited. The name “Majel” was put up after Majel Barrett-Roddenberry, the voice behind Federation Computer from Star Trek.
Alfred, the mobile app that Google recently purchased is also said to be linked to their plans to provide a competing technology to Siri on the Android platform.
According to many sites, the company is planning to add a natural language processing feature to Google Voice Actions, already available on most Android phones. Currently Majel, Google Android’s vocal-input software is apparently in the final stages of development, with a view for a December release.
Android and ME says the project has been developed by the notoriously secret Google centre in San Francisco, known as Google X, a top secret and coincidental styff over the past year. Earlier this month Google acquired Clever Sense, developers of the Alfred assistant smartphone application, in a move that strongly indicated the company’s intentions to cash in on Siri’s success.
While most Android phones currently carry Google’s interactive app, Voice Actions, the software still requires a rigid user input, without the freedom to stray beyond pre-set commands. If reports are substantiated, Majel will detect users vocal behaviour in a similar way to Apple’s Siri, offering a more conversational experience.
In October Speaking council to Slashgear, Android operating system director Matias Duarte said the voice assistant being developed would be like “the Starship Enterprise,” which explains the software’s sci-fi referencing name providing further evidence that Google aims to provide users with an exceptionally lifelike virtual character.

Interesting. I heard Google is developing a voice recognition software in order to compete with Apple’s Siri. However, i thought the name of this software is IRIS. I guess they’ve changed it. If this would be available to the public by 2012, there’s no doubt Android users will increase rapidly.
