Siri for Android devices - the 3 best alternatives

Apple has the voice assistant "Siri". Android, on the other hand, has to do without the nice lady. The Play Store offers many alternatives to make your phone a little smarter. Below we present three Android apps that can be seen as direct competition to Siri.

Google Now - on-board alternative for Android

"Google Now" is the pre-installed Siri competitor for Android from version 4.1 "Jelly Bean". In addition to weather data, this can also display saved appointments or navigate you to a foreign city. Simply open the "Google Now" voice input. You can reach this by holding down your home button or pulling it up (for devices with haptic buttons).

• The most important commands for "Google Now" can be found here.

Siri alternative "Alice"

The "AIVC" app brings the nice lady named "Alice" to your Android smartphone. A few voice commands can already be used in the free version. For example, you can call people or start applications. The developers are constantly striving to expand Alice's vocabulary so that you can hand in more and more tasks to the Siri competition.

• You can call up all voice commands in the official "changelog".
• You can read in our app test what the Pro version can currently do for just under 3 euros.

Jeannie - the "Siri" for Android

Just like Apple, "Jeannie: Siri for Android" does all the tasks on the android. This application takes care of many commands, including the interaction with websites and the image search. Even WhatsApp integration is on board. Jeannie still sometimes bitches at the answers, but the developers promise improvement.

• For all commands, go to the developer's website.
