Been hearing talk about a couple apps that are like the iPhone's siri app. I've heard Jeannie is a good one and there's iris and skyvi(I think)...has anyone tried these, recommend any, and is the paid versions worth it
 
I've tried a slew of them, the three you mentioned above as well as Cluzee, Speaktoit Assistant, Vlingo, Eva, and...I think that's it. They all have potential and all seem to do certain things better than others. Overall, I have to say that Jeannie right now is the best of all of them. I try every new one that comes out, but I keep returning to that. It helps that I gave her an sexy Australian voice, and she calls me Daddy. ;)

personally I disliked iris and Jeannie. I think that Vlingo was the best of the bunch, but as of late, there have been some privacy concerns brought up. Use these apps after researching the concerns.

I've used Jeannie, Vlingo, and I prefer Dragon Go! .
 
I think that I have tried them all and none of them do everything. I like IRIS probably the best of ones mentioned.
 
Jeannie is being updated regularly and getting better all the time. Pretty amazing. It is the same as Voice Actions Plus. Small fee for the + version.
