谷歌（Google）Google Now和苹果（Apple）Siri是当下风头正劲的两款智能手机助手软件，究竟谁更胜一筹呢？本周二，投资银行Piper Jaffray分析师吉恩•蒙斯特发布了一份对比数据。

    下面是其中的3个要点：

    • 相比早期版本的不堪一用，Google Now进步明显。从对用户语音输入的解析和回答问题正确性两方面衡量，如今的Google Now和Siri势均力敌。

    • Siri几乎已经完全摆脱了对谷歌的依赖。去年12月，Siri还有27%的答案来自谷歌搜索，如今这个数字已经大幅下降到4%。

    • 两款软件都不能说是完美。蒙斯特将Siri评为C+（去年12月是C，更早点，在夏天时是D）。Google Now的分数同样为C+（去年12月为D-）。

    也就是说，Google Now和Siri仅仅是刚刚及格而已。（财富中文网）

    Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster issued a matched pair of report cards Tuesday on the performance of the two leading smartphone intelligent assistants, Google's (GOOG) Google Now and Apple's (AAPL) Siri.

    Three takeaways:

    • Google Now has overcome its initial deficit and is now roughly the equivalent of Siri in its ability to interpret spoken queries and answer them correctly.

    • Siri has weaned itself almost entirely from its dependence of Google search, reducing its reliance from 27% of answers in December 2012 to 4% now.

    • Neither service is that great. Siri got C+ from Munster (up from C last December and a D in the summer of 2012). Google Now also got a C+ (up from a D- last December).

    Passing grades, but not much more than that.
