You can talk to iRis and iRis will talk back - Android news

Why only iPhone owners have a voice recognition program able to use contacts in more or less random riddles to find the net or make jokes? Now on Android, Iris (note the name, already the first joke that we keep unsalted tone):
Today SassiBoB reviews Android's answer to Siri, iRis. iRis is a semi-productive artificial intelligence app. You can talk to iRis and iRis will talk back. But beware, she gets a little bit sarcastic, snarky, and just plain rude. Dexetra, the developer, says you need to have "Voice Search" and "TTS library" installed in your phone for iris to work, but most phones have them pre-installed. The permissions you have to allow are for full internet access and view network state, but hopefully soon there will be more for calendar, sms, and making phone calls and more. Check out some hilarious dialogue in SassiBoB's hands-on with iRis!
