No Siri? No problem. Introducing Iris for Android.

While Siri is exclusive to iPhone 4S but that doesn’t mean Android users are left out from the “talking to the phone” fun. Introducing Iris, (yes it is the reversed spelling of Siri) which is an Android voice assistant at your service.

Similar to Siri, you can ask questions or talk to it out of boredom. It answers various questions and it is able to make calls and send messages by command. The intelligence bit is powered by True Knowledge engine. What’s interesting is that the app was said to be developed in just 8 hours. Not bad for an instant app but there are limits to what Iris can do.

To download, head over to the Market. Additional text to speech add-on is required after installing.

Pretty fun to use and it does pick up our “English” accurately. When asked “who are you”, Iris responded “Folks at Dexetra created me, and Narayan Babu is like a father figure to me”. Found any interesting reply?

Check out the review demo after the break.
