Siri vs. Google Now Voice Search (with Video)

Google released the new voice search feature in the latest operating system Android 4.1 Jelly Bean in its Annual I/O conference. The voice assistant also dubbed as Google Now is an answer to Apple's SIRI released with iOS 5 in iPhone 4S. If personal assistant is what you look for a new smartphone, this article will help you out. Here is the comparison between the two personal assistant, as seen in their new OS, Android 4.1 and iOS 6 beta version (Google Nexus 7 and Apple iPhone 4S).
First thing of the human like sounds that the personal assistant speaks, we find that the Google Now speaks more human than the robotic sounds of SIRI.
Though both the device responds quickly to the input voice, Google Nexus 7 comes a little bit faster to output the searched information. Also the Google Now presents the specific information that it thinks you needed, which may be the reason for the faster presentation. 
Google Search by Voice is also fast in Google Nexus than iPhone as SIRI asks you to search the web if you like whereas Google presents directly through the Google Search.
What makes SIRI lil' high in the competition is the Social media integration for the Facebook status updates and tweets in SIRI within iOS 6. But if we try for the same in Jelly bean it will prompt you with “This device cannot perform the action you requested.” 
So, both voice assistant SIRI and Google Now has its own features and limitations, you select the one that suits you more.
Here is a video that compares both SIRI and Google Now.
