That's how I felt when using Siri and Cortana the first time. "Wow! Voice recognition actually works now??"

If you haven't tried the latest rev of Echo software, it blows Siri out of the water.

Very specifically, you can speak in a conversational tone with Echo, vs barking commands at Siri.

I don't have experience with Cortana, but the Voice Recognition capabilities in the XboxOne is garbage.

I've used Siri on the iphone and Cortana on a Nokia Lumia 939 and they seem about equal. I'm sure the echo is better due to the superior mic.
