Hey Siri, Meet Cortana!
-
@christophero well, to each their own. As far as 30 wpm, pfffst. I see that and raise you that I can easily do 60 on mine. One word: Swype. FTW!! I had a Windows 8 phone for a few months and not having Swype just about killed me. It had the best word prediction algorithm I've ever seen on that Nokia but still...gah! I don't have issues with my S4. Samsung has taken over dominance of the Android market where HTC and Moto stood before. Moto and HTC are still big but Samsung is king. I can use iPhones. I just really, REALLY hate the interface. FWIW
Legend works amazing with the Windows phone but it's still pretty good with my Android. I love the Legend personally. I'm a bit of a Plantronics guy...just a little.
As far as Pandora, I'm not sure.
-
I'm a Windows Phone guy, and having better voice control would be awesome. Calling it Cortana though...not really professional implications there. It seems like 2 steps back after MS' one step forward with WP8.1.
-
@Kelly How can you not name it Cortana?! Anything else would just be wrong! After all she and Master Chief went through! She must live on!!!!
-
@ajstringham As a gamer I approve of the name. As an IT Pro trying to get my users to unify on something I dislike the choice. Of course, most of my users have no idea what the reference is to, so it may be moot.
-
@Kelly Exactly. Those who get the reference will love it. Those who don't won't know any different. Worst case scenario is some parent finds out from their kid. They shrug it off and it's no big deal. I love it personally FWIW.

@ajstringham I tried Swype, and I was fast at times, but it didn't seem to get word accuracy down very well for me. I'd go slower because I'd swype and wait to see what word it picked - if I just tried to go I'd have a sentence that sounded like it came out of PSX'd drunken stupor. Or would that be when he's sober?
-
How would we know? He's never sober.
-
@scottalanmiller Agreed.
@christophero I've never had a problem. But that's me... -

That's why I am trying out minuum.
