From Techcrunch:
Siri for android is here
While voice control has been part of Android since the dawn of time, Siri came along and ruined the fun with its superior search and understanding capabilities. However, an industrious team of folks from Dexetra.com, led by Narayan Babu, built a Siri-alike in just 8 hours during a hackathon.
Iris allows you to search on various subjects including conversions, art, literature, history, and biology. You can ask it “What is a fish?” and it will reply with a paragraph from Wikipedia focusing on our finned friends.
The app will soon be available soon from the Android Marketplace but I tried it recently and found it a bit sparse but quite cool. It uses Android’s speech-to-text functions to understand basic questions and Narayan and his buddies are improving the app all the time.
The coolest thing? The finished the app in eight hours.
When we started seeing results, everyone got excited and started a high speed coding race. In no time, we added Voice input, Text-to-speech, also a lot of hueristic humor into Iris. Not until late evening we decided on the name “iris.”, which would be Siri in reverse. And we also reverse engineered a crazy expansion – Intelligent Rival Imitator of Siri. We were still in the fun mode, but when we started using it the results were actually good, really good.

I used it on Nexus S running stock rom 2.3.6 and 2.3.4. Galaxy s2 on stock rom works on all of them.
Outstanding work in 8 hours. I think it's not a market releasable version right now... polish it, add more skills to Iris.
Keep up the good work and +1 for the name.
I just notice its in the market now. Pretty good for 8 hours of work. I wonder what they can do with more time?
great job guys in just 8 hrs... im sure you guys will keep us posted on further devolpements..

Yeah its impressive for 8 hours of work :O now time to polish it with time and upgrades.
Gratz!! Awesome job
I downloaded it and, while I haven't had a chance to play with it much (I work at an ATT authorized retailer), I did like what I saw and have been telling my Android customers about it all day
So I ask: "what is 2+2"
Iris responds: "Conan O'Brien, he is very white"
Then I ask: "what is 2x2"
Iris responds: "Harry Potter"
Seems to work perfect to me.
I used this today and it sucked.
App is good. But analyzing stuff has a lot of scope to improve.

Worth trying... alpha but its ok thus far
In start i see message "No Speech input", and of course it's not work(
Fount problem, thx)
I tried asking the questions shown in the screenshot of the OP, i got nothing remotely like that lol. Any question i asked ended up "i'm too tired to respond now, try asking me again later"
At the least, it is entertaining. Perhaps not as useful as SIRI in giving accurate answers. But my family is having a blast asking and frequently laughing at the responses. That, is priceless. Thanks!

There have been allot of misunderstandings recently about where to post certain posts, and to ask certain questions. We are all here to help each other. Sometimes that help comes in the form of pointing you in the right direction. XDA member TRusselo has made several awesome and informative posts. If we will each just take the time to read these post we will save allot of space, time, and friendships.

Why you get short/one word answers! (The Long Answer) - This explains the reason you sometimes get answers you don't feel are complete or specific enough. The reason people say search, instead of just giving you the answer outright.
A Plead to the members of XDA, is a very well written plead for us all to just get along. (Which I totally agree with.)
I am begging each and every person to PLEASE read these post in their entirety. If we do, I really feel this can be a much friendlier place to hang out. We are all trying to accomplish the same thing. Just use common sense so that we don't frustrate the few people we have left here to help us. I am sorry if anyone takes offense to this. I just wish we could all be on the same page. There are some great, much smarter people here then me. I would really like to learn from them and not turn them off to helping us out.
Thanks,
Tim
I couldn't agree with you more.
Thanks Tim, nicely done.
Very much agreed. Only thing is the search feature does not work as well as people would like you to believe. Many times I don't even get anything close to what I'm searching for. Just throwing that out there, not to freak on people when they say they search and can't find nothing.

I can agree to this from experience, sometimes it doesnt give you any results to what your looking for. BUT maybe re-wording the search will help a little.
nice! I just hope people follow this..

On a boring party?
Follow these steps:
1. Grab your android device
2. Open android market
3. Search for BeerTimer
4. Download BeerTimer
5. Make boring party a success!
No seriously, I have developed an nice little app that lets your android phone time how fast one can drink fluids! It uses your phones acceleration to sense when the table it lays on is being hit.
Usage: Lay phone on a table, hit the table once to start the stopwatch, then again to stop the time. One use is to time how fast one can drink fluids (beer chug game).
Or if you don't drink bear, then it's just a great stopwatch with a beer in the background!

That is on the way! Not sure when im done with it. Thinking about give people able to register for referee rights so that they can verify times and upload them to a global scoreboard!
I got a tip about using facebook for scores. And a way to create local tournaments (aka at house party) with dedicated referees. Any thoughts?

If this is a serious question, there is a brief explanation in the app as well in the description.
You have a bottle/can of beer. You hit the table which the phone is running this app on and start to chug the beer. When you are done, you smack the can/bottle in the table and the timer stops.

Really, you clam you're 35, but could you at least speak English ? Or at least spell properly ? I'm failing to see how other members are supposed to help when your posts have the spelling of a modern day rap song plus, I've seen younger members on this forum who are more polite and actually speak proper English than you.

if you got no time to search then how come you will get time to use your newly bought phone.
