Ziggy – Windows Phone Alternative To Apple iPhone Siri

The only worth talking-about feature in Apple iPhone 4S is without a doubt the virtual voice assistant “Siri”, while the popularity of this feature has caused many ports and hacks on other devices like “Spire”, Android Speaktoit and in-works “Google Majel” why should “Windows Phone 7″ be left aside. Thanks to new free (also adfree), virtual voice assistant application “Ask Ziggy” downloadable from “Windows Marketplace” this is now possible.
Ask Ziggy makes use of renowned Nuance speech-to-text analysis and natural-language-processing (NLP) technology coupled with advance web scraping and mash-up techniques to offer a worthy experience, a demonstration video is available after the jump.
