Google unveiled the latest version 4.1 of Android mobile operating-system "JellyBean" with announcement of Nexus 7, and with it comes the new "Google Speech Recognition" technology.

Apple's voice recognition assistant "Siri" is a hit and Google can't afford to loose behind, there were rumors of development of similar technology codenamed "Google Majel" and the results are out now with introduction of new "Google Speech Recognition" with Android 4.1 JellyBean. Here is a video showdown how Apple Siri and Google Voice Recognition competes each other.

Apple's Siri virtual voice assistant seems to have sparked the demand for virtual butlers, tech giant Google is being reported all set to offer their own alternative to "Siri" as "Majel" named after "Majel Barrett" - the voice of the Federation Computer from Star Trek. While all the previous attempts to mimic "Siri" functionality on Android have not been very promising, codenamed project "Majel" will be an evolution to Google’s Voice Actions adding the ability to process natural language. Rumored to get released/announced publicly by end of this year this would be definitely the way to go for future of computing.
