The one line answer to that question is that technically they aren’t too comparable. Alexa is a Smart Home device while Siri is a smartphone device. You’re new to the world of voice command personal assistants and wondering which one to buy. We will simplify the products for you and you can decide for yourself.
Alexa: the personal assistant for smart homes:
Smart homes are homes that have a wide range of electronic devices running on or connected to Wi-Fi. Your phone, fridge, TV, sound system to match the washing machine. The security alarm and lights can be connected to a central command system in a smart home. And that central command system is Alexa.
Alexa has more than 90,000 commands that a person can give to the device. You can ask them about the weather, the time elsewhere, current events, and pretty much anything you want. You can also turn the air conditioner, microwave and all other products on and off with a simple voice command. You won’t need to get up to turn off the lights. Additionally, the command processor can be used to request complex functions such as turning on the microwave oven for two minutes at 50% power.
Alexa is commonly used in the US and the Western world. The catch 22 is that you need a wide range of smart devices such as SMart lights, SMart bulbs, smart TVs and other products that are not available until now. But if you have smart devices in your home, then it may be time to buy Alexa.
Siri; The personal assistant for Android devices:
Siri is a voice command device for smartphones released by Apple. It should be noted that only Apple phones can work with Siri and no other Android has Siri like functionality. It can be used for a wide range of functions. You can call people, ask for information about any important information and schedule meetings. And you can ask for help for navigation, ask where the traffic jams are or get the routes to your destination. Apart from this, you can use your phone through simple voice commands and pay bills, make payments and enjoy a wide range of functionalities that your smartphone has.
Siri or Alexa?
Our discussion should have answered the question for you, but let’s summarize. These two products are not interchangeable and you can buy both Alexa for your home and Siri as an Apple Android app. You can run your entire house with Alexa, and as we all end up buying newer electronics, eventually we’ll all have smart devices in our house. These smart devices can connect with each other through Alexa and you can have a more interactive home.
Your Apple Android already has Siri installed and all the other Android development companies have created their own versions of Siri that will respond to voice commands.
All in all, both products are defining an era in their own right, best of luck with your purchases!
