Wolfram Alpha To Power Samsung’s Version Of Siri

Wolfram Alpha currently helps answer some questions via Apple’s Voice Search, Siri. Now Wolfram Alpha announced they have partnered with Samsung to power some searches on some Samsung devices.

The GALAXY S III and GALAXY Note will now include the Wolfram|Alpha knowledge base with S Voice and S Note applications.

Users have to tap the home button and speaking button to activate it. If you ask a factual question, Wolfram Alpha should respond with the correct answer.

“Whether you’re asking questions through the pen or through your voice, Wolfram|Alpha will deliver high-quality, factual answers,” says Luc Barthelet, Executive Director of Wolfram|Alpha. “Samsung is releasing some high-performance phones and we are proud to be part of it.”
