In particular I owe a big debt of gratitude to Google, Google Translate and Google Text to Speech, both of which are a big part of my language learning. For now, it is hard to justify using Siri over Google Translate except for the quick accessibility users can have to Siri via the iPhone.The fact that I was able to make meaningful progress in languages as different as Russian, Korean, Portuguese, Romanian and Greek, as well as Arabic and Persian, is the result of modern information technology. It is clear that Apple is definitely working towards improving Siri’s translation abilities with several more languages being added over the past two years, however, the range of languages is still limited compared to the variety that Google offers. From these results, we can see that Google has scored higher than Siri in 4 major languages. The results for Chinese were lower for both tools as Google Translate only averaged 3.97 and Siri scored 3.85. Google Translate ranked the highest for German with a score of 4.74 with Siri scoring 4.11.

For Spanish, Google scored 5.15 whilst Siri scored 4.64. Google scored an average of 4.72 out of 6 in French, while Siri scored 4.24. According to an article by Digital Trends, Google and Siri’s language skills have been put to the test and the results are surprising.
