S Voice

S Voice is an intelligent personal assistant and knowledge navigator which is only available as a built-in application for Samsung smart phones.




Developed by Nuance, the application brings Intelligent Voice Experience to New Samsung handsets.


Much like the Siri personal assistant on iOS, Some of the capabilities of S Voice include making appointments, opening apps, setting alarms, updating social network websites such as Facebook or Twitter and navigation.


However, one incredible feature that has us talking is the S Translate feature. You can input text and it will not only turn it to speech for you but it can also translate the text to a number of different languages.
