Microsoft: Siri is not a new technology WP a similar system a year ago

According to foreign media reports, Microsoft chief research and strategy officer Craig · Craig Mundie said that Apple iPhone 4S Siri speech recognition software Not a new technology, because there was a similar system on Windows Phone more than a year ago. He said that Apple’s hype to promote Siri is to divert attention from the lack of new features in the iPhone 4S.

Mengdai said in an interview with Forbes last week that Siri's function is not unique to Apple. The similar "Tellme" technology on Windows Phone has been around for more than a year, "Tellme has been around." More than a year, because I think people are too obsessed with Apple's announced Siri.

Meng Dai said that Apple's marketing ability is worth learning by Microsoft. Due to the lack of new features of the iPhone 4S, Apple has to focus on Siri voice recognition technology, "because it is not a brand new product, many people are on the iPhone 4S." I was disappointed, so Apple can only grasp Siri's life-saving straw. We may also need to promote a feature.

Meng Dai said that for Microsoft, it is very difficult to transition the mobile platform from Windows Mobile to Windows Phone. Windows Mobile is aimed at the enterprise market, Windows Phone is facing the consumer market, and Microsoft must overcome the problems that may arise during the transition.

Mengdai hopes that Windows Phone will become an important platform in the mobile field. Cooperation with Nokia is very important to ensure the success of Windows Phone.
