Haddii aad ka weyn tahay inaad xasuusato inaad tijaabisay software-ka-hadalka 90-meeyadii, markaa waad garanaysaa macnaha dhabta ah ee tedium. Haddii aad rabtay inaad ku qorto iimaylka ama xusuusta adoo isticmaalaya codkaaga, waxay u baahday saacado tababar ah, xawaare ku hadal ah oo xanuun badan iyo ugu danbayn gabal qoraal ah oo aan faa'iido lahayn.

Maanta arrimuhu aad ugama duwanaan karaan. Thanks to horumarka waaweyn ee barashada mashiinka iyo awoodda xisaabinta daruuraha, nidaamyada aqoonsiga codka dhijitaalka ah ayaa ku fahmi kara ku dhawaad ​​iyo sidoo kale qof kale.

Taasi waa sababta ay suurtogal u tahay in lagu soo raro taleefan kasta oo casriga ah, Laptop-ka iyo tablet-ka iyadoo lagu dhex rakibay Kaaliyaha Dijital ah^{(Digital Assistant)} . Saddexda ciyaaryahan ee ugu muhiimsan waa Siri oo ka socda Apple, Cortana oo ka socda Microsoft iyo Google Assistant , oo ka socda, si fiican, Google . Haddii ay dhacdo in aysan ka muuqan magaca.

Dhammaan saddexda kaaliye waxay qabtaan shaqooyin isku mid ah waxayna sidoo kale leeyihiin soo jeedin qiimo gaar ah oo ay ku bixiyaan. Waxa ay u badan tahay in aanay suurtogal ahayn in si dhab ah loo sheego kaaliyaha “ugu fiican”, laakiin marka la barbar dhigo hawlo gaar ah oo guud waa layli faa'iido leh. Qof kasta oo akhriya tan, mid ka mid ah kaaliyeyaashan ayaa ah midka ugu fiican ee ku habboon xaaladahaaga gaarka ah. 

Haddaba isbarbardhiggan saddex-geesoodka ah ujeeddadu waxay noqon doontaa in la soo bandhigo daciifnimada iyo meelaha ay ku wanaagsan tahay door kasta si aad u samayso doorasho xog ogaal ah oo ku saabsan cidda aad raacayso. Kahor intaanan taa samayn, aan soo bandhigno saddexdayada tartanka quruxda badan.

Siri - Asal run ah^{(Siri –  A True Original)}

Siri ayaa markii ugu horreysay soo bandhigtay muuqaal gaar ah oo iPhone 4S ah. Tixgeli in iPhone 11 uu bilaabmayo 2019, taas oo Siri ka dhigaysa mid^{(Siri one)} ka mid ah kaaliyeyaasha dhijitaalka ah ee ugu da'da weyn maanta. 

Marka teaser-ka ugu horreeya ee Siri la sii daayay, waxay u muuqataa wax yar sida khiyaaliyada sayniska. Cod la yaab leh oo la isku daray iyo aqoonsiga codka oo u muuqda mid aan cillad lahayn ayaa ahaa bandhigyo dhab ah. Dib-u -eegis, Siri waxay ku lug lahayd xoogaa cabbir ah oo qiiq ah, muraayado iyo xad xaddidan oo ah hawlo tayo sare leh. Tan iyo markaas iyadu waxay ku soo korodhay sirta iyo sifooyinka, laakiin ra'yiga caanka ah ayaa u muuqda in gabadhii hore aysan hadda ahayn hogaamiyaha tignoolajiyada. 

Si kastaba ha ahaatee, kaaliyahani wuxuu ku xaddidan yahay nidaamka deegaanka ee Apple markaa su'aasha ugu weyni waxay tahay in Apple aficionados ay tahay in ay ku dhegto kaaliyaha sumadda dukaanka qalabka ay la socdaan iyo in kale. 

Cortana - Laga soo bilaabo Goddess Game ilaa Kaaliyaha Gaarka ah^{(Cortana – From Game Goddess To Personal Assistant)}

Cortana waxaa loo magacaabay ka dib jilaaga ka yimid ciyaaraha taxanaha ah ee ^(Cortana)Halo ee caanka ah ee Bungie . Iyadu waa AI ee caawisa madaxa Masterka^{(Master Chief)} , geesiga taxanaha ciyaarta. Hadda adigana waxaad madaxaaga ku hayn kartaa hadalkeeda caanka ah. Hagaag, taasi waa haddii aad xidhato sameecado ay weheliso koofiyaddaas Halo Master Chief -ka ururiyaha oo cabbirkeedu dhan yahay.

Maadaama nidaamka hawlgalka mobilada ee Microsoft aanu si wax ku ool ah u jirin, Cortana inta badan waa a Windows 10 feature, oo leh apps ku jira Android iyo iOS labadaba. Tani waxay la macno tahay inay bixiso qaar ka mid ah astaamaha is dhexgalka Windows , laakiin dabcan uma dhalan nidaam kasta oo mobilada ah oo ay dadku runtii isticmaalayaan.

Kaaliyaha Google - Qaadashada Imtixaanka Turing^{(Google Assistant – Taking On The Turing Test)}

Google shaki la'aan waa mid ka mid ah shirkadaha tignoolajiyada ugu sarreeya adduunka. Gaar ahaan marka ay timaado algorithms AI horumarsan. Markaa waa inayna la yaab noqon in Kaaliyaha Google-^{(Google Assistant)} ku uu ka buuxsamo tignoolajiyada ugu dambeysay. 

Siyaabaha qaarkood tani waxay noqon kartaa xoogaa dhibaato ah. Qaabka qaabaysan ayaa si joogto ah isu beddelaya oo had iyo jeer ma cadda halka uu ku dhammaado Kaaliyaha Google iyo adeegyada kale ee ^{(Google Assistant)}Google -ku ka bilaabmaan.

Tusaale ahaan, Google Duplex waa adeeg cajiib ah halkaas oo Google's AI chatbot uu soo wici doono (tusaale ahaan) timo-jaraha xaafadda oo uu ballan kuugu qabsan doono. Waxa kaliya ee ay tahay inaad sameyso waa inaad weydiiso. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, Duplex waxaa loo sameeyay sidii mashruuc iyada u gaar ah ka dibna la galiyay Kaaliyaha^(Assistant) sidii kordhin ahaan.

Kor u kaca isticmaalka Google Assistant waa in si adag loogu dhex daray adeegyada Google , oo ay ku jirto la dhexgalka weyn ^(Google)Android .

Sidaan U Imtixaannay^{(How We Tested)}

Fikradda ka dambeysa isbarbardhiggan maaha in la barbardhigo saddexdan caawiye iyada oo loo eegayo tilmaamahooda warqadda. Taa beddelkeeda fikraddu waa in la is barbar dhigo iyaga, oo gacmaha la iskula jaanqaado sida aad dhab ahaantii u isticmaali lahayd maalin kasta.

Waxa muhiimka ah halkan waa waayo-aragnimada isticmaalaha iyo haddii bots-yadan quruxda badan ay dhab ahaantii sameeyaan waxaad rabto. Haddii kaaliyaha gaarka ah uu leeyahay sifo dilaa ah kiiskaaga isticmaalka gaarka ah, markaa tani waa dhammaanteed si kastaba.

Waxaan isticmaalnay laba qalab oo kala duwan si aan u tijaabino saddexda kaaliyaha dhijitaalka ah ee su'aasha halkan laga keenay. Xaaladda Siri waxaan u isticmaalnay iPad Pro 9.7 ”kiniin, oo wata nooca ugu dambeeyay ee iOS 12 waqtiga qorista. Labada qalab ee kale, waxaan u isticmaalnay Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ .

Maadaama fikradu tahay in la dareemo isticmaalka maalinlaha ah, mid kasta waxaa la siiyay isla hawlo isku mid ah, oo ay ku jiraan samaynta raadinta internetka, abuurista xusuusinta jadwalka iyo bilaabista codsi.

Tayada Isku-dhafka Codka^{(Voice Synthesis Quality)}

Waxaa laga yaabaa inaysan ahayn qeexid farsamo oo adag, laakiin kaaliyaha dhijitaalka ah ayaa ku nool wuxuuna u dhintaa sida dabiiciga ah ee ay u dhawaaqdo marka uu hadlayo. Nuxurka dhammaan codsiyadan ayaa ah in isticmaaluhu loo wareejiyo interface interface. Taas oo^(Which) ka dhigan in aan la aqbali karin codka robotka ah oo soo jiidanaya oo dadka intiisa badan ka saaraya isticmaalka alaabtan oo kale.

Tijaabadayada saddexdan, waa Kaaliyaha Google-^{(Google Assistant)} ka kan soo baxaya, iyadoo Siri labaad iyo Cortana ay tahay saddexaad oo aad u fog. Labada alaab ee Google iyo Apple waxay u muuqdaan kuwo dabiici ah, ugu yaraan Ingiriisi Waqooyiga Ameerika, laakiin ^(English)Cortana liidata waxay u egtahay inay u baahan tahay casriyeyn.

Kicin Waxqabadka Falcelinta Kelmadda^{(Trigger Phrase Reaction Performance)}

Mid ka mid ah sifooyinka ugu weyn ee kaaliyaha dhijitaalka ah ee casriga ah waa isticmaalka gacmo la'aan. Waxa kaliya ee ay tahay inaad sameyso waa inaad tiraahdo ereyga sixirka iyo kaaliyaha ayaa diyaar u ah inuu ku caawiyo. Ugu yaraan aragti ahaan. Markaa waxaan rabnay inaan aragno sida wanaagsan ee erayga kiciya looga falceliyay. 

Fadlan^(Please) la soco in arrinta iOS, Siri kaliya uu taageerayo kicinta gacmo la'aanta. In kasta oo aad ku rakibi karto Cortana iyo Google Assistant labadaba iOS, kuma daabici kartid kalmad keliya. Meesha ugu fudud ee meeshan waa in la waydiiyo Siri inuu bilaabo kaaliyaha kale. Waa yaab, laakiin haddii aad gabi ahaanba u baahan tahay, tani waxay ku kordhinaysaa dhawr ilbiriqsi oo shaqo dheeraad ah.

Aan ku bilowno Apple's Siri . Isticmaalka kelmadda "Hey Siri " waa mid degdeg ah mana aha inaad sugto degdeg ka hor intaadan weydiin su'aashaada. Kaaliyaha Google^{(Google Assistant)} wuxuu u shaqeeyaa si la mid ah sidoo kale, laakiin uma dhaqmo habkan si toos ah. Ugu yaraan maaha telefoonada Google-ka. Waxa jira waxoogaa qodis ah oo ku jira liiska si loo helo goobta si qarsoodi ah loogu magac daray "Voice Match", kaas oo kuu ogolaanaya inaad uga yeedho genie-ga dhijitaalka ah meel kasta oo taleefankaaga ah, xitaa haddii uu xidhan yahay.

Abka Cortana waxa uu ka^{(only )} jawaabaa kelmadda kiciya marka abka uu furmo. Markaa maaha wax faa'iido leh oo dhan si daacad ah.

Walxaha caajiska badan laakiin waxtarka leh^{(The Boring But Useful Stuff)}

Dejinta xasuusinta, furitaanka boggaga internetka, bilaabista apps iyo hawlaha kale ee la midka ah waa rootiga iyo subagga isticmaalka kaaliyaha dhijitaalka ah. Haddaba sidee u socdaan saddexdan?

Marka ay timaaddo samaynta raadinta shabakadda, dhammaan saddexda kaaliye aad bay u fiican yihiin. Cortana waxay isticmaashaa Bing^{(uses Bing)} , taas oo laga yaabo inaysan u fiicnayn dadka doorbidaya algorithms Google. Saddexdooduba way ku faraxsanaayeen inay dejiyaan xasuusin, xusuus-qor-qoraal iyo ballamo ku dhejiyaan jadwalka.

On iOS Siri waxay soo saartaa apps leh aplomb waxayna ku faraxsan tahay inay ku ciyaarto muusig adoo isticmaalaya adeegga muusiga Apple^{(the Apple Music service)} . On Android , Kaaliyaha Google^{(Google Assistant)} wuxuu sidoo kale si farxad leh u hoggaansamaa codsiyada bilaabista abka, laakiin si la yaab leh si sax ah uguma shaqeeyo YouTube Music . Tan waxaan rajeyneynaa in dhawaan la xalin doono. Cortana flat out waxay diidaa inay bilowdo wax apps ama talaabo ka baxsan xumbo abka guud ahaan.

Taasi waa waxa kaliya ee Cortana ay noo samayn lahayd. Taas oo^(Which) aan haba yaraatee wax badan ahayn.

Qalabaynta & Xakamaynta^{(Device Integration & Control)}

Kaaliyeyaasha dhijitaalka^(Digital) ah waxay u fiican yihiin hawlgalka gacmo-la'aanta ee qalabkaaga haddii ay heli karaan oggolaanshaha saxda ah. Nooca ugu dambeeyay ee Siri ayaa ku dhawaad ​​si buuxda u maamulay aaladda Apple ee ay ku nooshahay. Waxay maamuli kartaa tiro badan oo toggles ah, sida inay wifi ama^(WiFi) Bluetooth daarto^(Bluetooth) ama damiso. Waxaad kicin kartaa sifada gelitaanka sida VoiceOver adoo isticmaalaya Siri sidoo kale.

On Android , Kaaliyaha Google^{(Google Assistant)} ayaa sidaas oo kale sameeyay, isagoo rogrogay goobaha caadiga ah isagoon garaacin. Cortana si kastaba ha ahaatee way awoodi wayday inay maamusho, taas oo aan ahayn wax aad loola yaabo xilligan.

Isticmaalka Aan Hadalka Ahayn^{(Nonverbal Use)}

In kasta oo muuqaalka ugu weyn ee aaladahani ay tahay xaqiiqda ah in aad si fudud ula hadli karto si aad wax u qabato, had iyo jeer suurtagal maaha ama lama jecla in aad wada hadal qaylo leh la yeelato kaaliyahaaga dhijitaalka ah. Waxaa laga yaabaa inaad baska saaran tahay, kulan ama meel kale oo aad doorbidayso inaad aamusnaato. 

Maalmahan kaaliyeyaasha intooda badani waxay leeyihiin qaab sheeko qoraal ah halkaas oo aad ka saari karto hadalka hawada, laakiin weli waxaad heleysaa jawaabaha luqadda dabiiciga ah.

Siri ma sameeyo tan si caadi ah si kastaba ha ahaatee - waa inaad tagtaa liiska gelitaan ee iOS oo aad dhaqaajiso Nooca ilaa Siri^{(Type to Siri)} . Cortana iyo Kaaliyaha Google^{(Google Assistant)} labaduba waxay lahaayeen gelinta qoraalka si caadi ah, marka waxay halkan ku helayaan qaddar yar oo credit dheeraad ah.

Waxqabadka Aqoonsiga Codka^{(Voice Recognition Performance)}

Sidee fiican ayuu caawiyaha dhijitaalka ah kuu fahmi karaa? Su'aashan waxaa ka mid ah laba qaybood. Midda kowaad waxay la xiriirtaa u beddelka saxda ah ee hadalkaaga qoraal. Faa'iido badan ma leh haddii waxa aad tidhaahdo ay isu beddelaan kharibaad toosan oo u eg. Qaybta labaad ee su'aashu waxay la xidhiidhaa sida wanaagsan ee waxa aad sheegtay loo soo bandhigay software-ka. 

Saddexdii gacan-yareba waxa ay fahmeen waxa aanu nidhi dhib la'aan oo si sax ah ayay u kala qaybiyeen. Wax badan maaha in halkan laga soo sheego laakiin aqoonsiga codka iyo AI ee 2019 waa mid cajiib ah.

Xukunka - Yaa Ku Soo Baxay?^{(The Verdict –  Who Came Out on Top?)}

Isticmaalayaasha Apple , xukunku waa cad yahay. In kasta oo Siri uu si ula kac ah uga danbeeyo Google Assistant marka la eego tignoolajiyada casriga ah, is dhexgalka qotoda dheer ee macruufka iyo qalabka Apple waxay la macno tahay inay bixiso khibradda guud ee ugu fiican.

Gaar ahaan la siiyay waxqabadkeeda gacmo la'aanta ah ee aan cillad lahayn. Haddii aad sidoo kale isticmaasho adeegyada Apple sida Apple Music oo aad waqti ku qaadato hagaajinta Siri - gaaban, markaa way adagtahay in la qiyaaso inaad la jaanqaadi karto xaddidaadaha oo aad ku dhejiso kaaliyeyaasha kale ee dhijitaalka ah ee ku yaal aaladaha iOS.

Isticmaalayaasha Android , kuwaas oo aan heli karin Siri si kastaba, arrimuhu aad ayay u xiiso badan yihiin. Inta u dhaxaysa Cortana^{(Between Cortana)} iyo Kaaliyaha Google^{(Google Assistant)} ee qalabkayaga tijaabada ah ee Galaxy Note 10+Kaaliyaha Google^{(Google Assistant)} ayaa si cad u leh gacanta sare. Isticmaalka Cortana ee Bing sida matoorka raadinta waa mid la fahmi karo, laakiin Bing waxay si joogto ah u bixisay natiijooyin aan ku qanacsanayn, taas oo ah calaamad halis ah oo ka soo horjeeda. 

Si kastaba ha ahaatee, dhamaadka, Cortana waa codsi aad u xaddidan Android . Shaqada iskutallaabta ee ka jirta Cortana ee Windows waxay ka dhigi kartaa abka dheeriga ah ee faa'iidada leh, laakiin laguma talin karo inaad noqoto kaaliyahaaga aasaasiga ah ee Android marka Google Assistant uu halkaas joogo oo si fiican isku dhafan yahay sida uu yahay.

Siri, Google Assistant, & Cortana – Three Digital Assistants Compared

If you’re old enough to remember trying voice dіctation software in the 90s, then you know the true meaning of tеdium. If you wanted to typе оut an email or a memo using your voiсe, it required hours of training, a рainfully ѕlow speaking speed and ultimately a pretty useless piece of text.

Today things couldn’t be more different. Thanks to major advances in machine learning and cloud computing power, digital voice recognition systems can understand you nearly as well as another human being.

Which is why it’s possible to ship every smartphone, laptop and tablet with a built-in Digital Assistant. The three main players are Siri from Apple, Cortana from Microsoft and Google Assistant, from, well, Google. In case it isn’t apparent from the name.

All three assistants perform similar jobs and also have their own unique value propositions to offer. It’s probably impossible to objectively say which assistant is the “best”, but comparing them along specific common tasks is a useful exercise. For every person reading this, one of these assistants is the best match to your specific circumstances. 

So for this three-way comparison the goal will be to showcase the weaknesses and strengths of each option so that you can make an informed choice about who to go with. Before we do that however, let’s introduce our three lovely contestants.

Siri –  A True Original

Siri first launched as an exclusive feature of the iPhone 4S. Consider that the iPhone 11 is launching in 2019, that makes Siri one of the oldest digital assistants today. 

When the first teasers for Siri were aired, it seems a little like science fiction. Amazing voice synthesis and seemingly flawless voice recognition were real showstoppers. In retrospect, Siri involved some measure of smoke, mirrors and a relatively limited domain of high-quality functions. Since then she’s bulked up with intelligence and features, but the popular opinion seems to be that the old girl is no longer the technology leader. 

Regardless, this assistant is limited to the Apple ecosystem so the greater question is whether Apple aficionados should stick with the store-brand assistant their devices ship with or not. 

Cortana – From Game Goddess To Personal Assistant

Cortana is named after the character from Bungie’s world-famous Halo series of games. She’s the AI that assists the Master Chief, the hero of the game series. Now you too can have her iconic voice talk in your head. Well, that is if you wear headphones along with that full-size Halo Master Chief collector’s helmet.

Since Microsoft’s mobile operating system is effectively no more, Cortana is mainly a Windows 10 feature, with apps on both Android and iOS stores. This means she offers some great Windows integration features, but is of course not native to any mobile system people are actually using.

Google Assistant – Taking On The Turing Test

Google is undoubtedly one of the top technology companies in the world. Especially when it comes to advanced AI algorithms. So it should be no surprise that the Google Assistant is stuffed to the gills with the latest technology. 

In some ways this can be a bit of a problem. The feature set is constantly shifting and it’s not always clear where Google Assistant ends and other Google services begin.

For example, Google Duplex is an incredibly impressive service where Google’s AI chatbot will phone (for example) the local hairdresser and make an appointment for you. All you have to do is ask. However, Duplex was developed as its own project and then rolled into the Assistant as an extension.

The upside of using Google Assistant is that it’s tightly integrated with Google services, which includes great integration with Android.

How We Tested

The idea behind this comparison is not to compare these three assistants according to their on-paper specifications. Instead the idea is to compare them, hands-on in terms of how you’d actually use them on a daily basis.

What matters here is the user experience and whether these brilliant bots actually do what you want them to. If a specific assistant has a killer feature for your specific use case, then this is all moot anyway.

We used two separate devices to test the three digital assistants in question here. In the case of Siri we used an iPad Pro 9.7” tablet, with the latest version of iOS 12 at the time of writing. For the other two devices, we used a Samsung Galaxy Note 10+.

Since the idea is to get a feel for day-to-day use, each one was given exactly the same common tasks, which include doing an internet search, creating a calendar reminder and starting an application.

Voice Synthesis Quality

It might not be a hard technical specification, but a digital assistant lives and dies by how natural it sounds when speaking. The whole point of these applications is to shift the user over to a conversational interface. Which means a jarring, robotic voice isn’t acceptable and would put most people off from using such a product.

In our testing of these three, it’s the Google Assistant that comes out on top, with Siri second and Cortana a rather distant third. Both Google and Apple’s products sound natural, at least in their North American English iterations, but poor Cortana sounds like she needs an upgrade.

Trigger Phrase Reaction Performance

One of the big features of any modern digital assistant is hands-free use. All you have to do is say the magic word and the assistant is ready to help. At least in theory. So we wanted to see how well the trigger word was reacted to. 

Please note that in the case of iOS, only Siri supports hands-free triggering. Although you can install both Cortana and Google Assistant on iOS, you can’t launch them with just a word. The simplest workaround here is to ask Siri to launch the other assistant. It’s weird, but if you absolutely need to, this adds just a few seconds of extra work.

Let’s start with Apple’s Siri. Using the “Hey Siri” trigger phrase is instant and you don’t have to wait for a prompt before asking your question. Google Assistant performs just as well, but it doesn’t behave this way by default. At least not on non-Google phones. There’s quite a bit of digging in the menu to finding the cryptically-named “Voice Match” setting, which lets you summon the digital genie from anywhere on your phone, even if its locked.

Cortana’s app only responds to the trigger word when the app is open. So not all that useful to be honest.

The Boring But Useful Stuff

Setting reminders, opening webpages, starting apps and other similar tasks are the bread and butter of using a digital assistant. So how do these three fare?

When it comes to doing web searches, all three assistants are perfectly fine. Cortana uses Bing, which might not be a good thing for people who prefer Google’s algorithms. All three were happy to set reminders, take memos and put appointments on the calendar.

On iOS Siri launches apps with aplomb and is happy to play music using the Apple Music service. On Android, Google Assistant also happily complies with app launch requests, but strangely doesn’t work properly with YouTube Music. This will hopefully be fixed soon. Cortana flat out refuses to launch any apps or step outside her app bubble as a whole.

That’s all Cortana would do for us. Which is not much at all.

Device Integration & Control

Digital assistants are great for hands-free operation of your device if they can access the right permissions. The latest version of Siri has almost complete control of the Apple device she resides on. She can manage a large number of toggles, such as flipping WiFi or Bluetooth on or off. You can activate accessibility features such as VoiceOver using Siri as well.

On Android, Google Assistant did just as well, toggling common settings without skipping a beat. Cortana was however unable to manage, which is not too surprising at this point.

Nonverbal Use

While the big showcase feature of these devices is the fact that you can simply talk at them to get things done, it’s not always possible or desirable to have a loud conversation with your digital assistant. You may be on the bus, in a meeting or some other place where you’d rather stay quiet. 

These days most assistants have a text chat mode where you can take the conversation off the air, but still get natural language responses.

Siri does not do this by default however – you have to go to the iOS accessibility menu and activate Type to Siri. Both Cortana and Google Assistant had text input available by default, so they get a small amount of extra credit here.

Voice Recognition Performance

How well can a digital assistant understand you? There are two parts to this question. The first has to do with accurate conversion of your speech to text. It’s not much use if what you say turns into an autocorrect-like garbled mess. The second part of the question has to do with how well what you’ve said is parsed by the software. 

All three assistants understood what we said with no problem and parsed it correctly. Not much to report here but that voice recognition and AI in 2019 is pretty impressive.

The Verdict –  Who Came Out on Top?

For Apple users, the verdict is clear. Although Siri objectively lags behind Google Assistant in terms of cutting-edge technology, its deep integration with iOS and Apple’s hardware means it provides the best overall experience.

Especially given its virtually flawless hands-free performance. If you also use Apple services such as Apple Music and spend some time fine-tuning Siri shortcuts, then it’s hard to imagine putting up with the limitations and hoops other digital assistants pose on iOS devices.

For Android users, who don’t have access to Siri anyway, things get more interesting. Between Cortana and Google Assistant on our Galaxy Note 10+ test device, Google Assistant clearly has the upper hand. Cortana’s use of Bing as its search engine is understandable, but Bing consistently gave less satisfactory search results, which is a rather serious mark against it. 

In the end however, Cortana is a very limited application on Android. The cross-functionality that exists with Cortana on Windows might make it a useful additional app, but it can’t be recommended as your primary Android assistant when Google Assistant is right there and as well-integrated as it is.
