Want to have an intelligent digital assistant that can follow your voice command? It is not a wish anymore as the Sherpa being the newest and most talked about android app today can provide you with great convenience in mobile use and confidence when a friend boasts about the popular Apple’s Siri. This is definitely intriguing as some users were caught in surprise not more than a week ago having this natural language Android app currently dominating Spain and Latin America and which is noted to compete with its famous counterparts. And significantly, this gives benefits not only to the Android 2.2 and above users, but also those using iOS in any part of the globe while the company now tries to invade the United States with $1.6M budget.
That is indeed a huge figure comparable to the 500,000 users and still counting who have already downloaded the app. But what really makes this app something different and unique from Apple’s Siri and Google Now? This is quite interesting as many users are now comparing these two popular apps with this new one. Well, before jumping into any conclusion, these are the notable features of Sherpa:
- Serves as personal assistant for cell phone and tablet users,
- Able to respond on queries about music, flights, messages, sports updates, etc. with social networks, and
However, one of the abilities of Sherpa which is better than Siri and Google Now is on understanding contextual clues in natural language. So if you ask it to book a flight for you and your boss, it will interpret the second phrase as another person, and will book two tickets. Likewise, it integrates with other apps to send personal messages, answer questions, and pay via paypal just like no other assistant apps can. Upon one hand, Google Now is capable of reminding users of meetings, suggesting local restaurants, and providing updates of sports or trending events, and because it is more about common search, it is thus different from Sherpa which focuses more on essential information. While Siri, being noted as one of the brilliant apps, can remember whatever you say even for two years and its voice command program is closely similar to Sherpa that can understand contextual speech; it is only that it does not learn the clues like what the latter does.
