[![LG launches 'Quick Voice' on its phones in Korea, goes head to head with S Voice and Siri][1] ][2]

After Apple and Samsung have made their [Siri][3] and [S Voice][4] features keystones of recent smartphone releases, it wasn't long before other manufacturers jumped in and now it's LG's turn with Quick Voice for its Android phones (we'll see how Apple [responds][5] to that). Just announced in Korea and rolling out soon for various members of the [Optimus][6] family like the [Vu][7] and [LTE II][8], it brings natural voice recognition to commonly used functions like searching, setting up appointments or pulling up videos on YouTube. For Korean users it's even tuned to check dates on the lunar calendar, although there's no word yet on when or if it will arrive elsewhere.
