voice command apps

I tried a few different voice apps. Is there a better one?

Jeannie app- Everyone says it is great but I really didnt find it that useful for anything specific. I need to get more familiar with this app since I just got it. The app had trouble understanding me with mic for some reason even when i talk clearly.

Iris app- This one is actually ok. It seems to have answers for a wide amount of info from the internet. It is good for definitions, locations, weather. (Its funny how Iris spelled backwards is Siri...HAHAHA)

Voice Search (pre installed)- This one seems useless also. Maybe I haven't used it enough but it seems very limited.

SpeakToIt app/widget- This one is my favorite. If I say "play my music" it will play whatever I ask it to or it will find it on youtube if I don't have it on my phone. It will also show me my pictures. You can ask for internet pics also and it will pop up a google image search in a window if you say "show pics of cars". It also calls you by your name. You can say "email john" and speak the email/or text.

All the apps were free and are also good at joking around. Get funny with some of them and they get funny back (nice feature). I think these type of apps will greatly improve over the next year.
 
I liked Edwin - you could ask for the weather and all kinds of stuff. There's an app meant for car use I had too, forget the name right now...
