HTC could launch Siri like service soon

HTC is teasing what seems to be a Siri-like voice assistant running on its One Series devices. This photo, which the Taiwanese smartphone vendor posted on its Facebook page, shows a dog interacting with the unnamed service. HTC gives a disclaimer that it won’t actually understand dogs, but it can be taken for granted that HTC would introduce a voice assistant very soon. It shouldn’t come as a surprise, considering Samsung has S-Voice (licensed from Vlingo) and LG is also reported to be deploying a similar service, though only in Korea for the moment. What remains to be seen is how efficient HTC’s service turns out to be as we are hearing Apple is going to make Siri smarter with iOS 6.
