Can the Siri equivalent on Android do the following:

1. Set reminders
2. Send emails
3. Send texts messages

I will be using the Note2.

Thanks.

It can and more. A lot more. Full list of Google Now commands: http://www.addictivetips.com/android/google-now-commands-smart-cards-list/


Notes & Reminders
Commands:

- “Remind me to <task> at <time>”

- “Wake me up in <time>”

- “<action> at <time>”

- “Self note to <message>”

- “Set alarm for <time>”

Contact & Communication
Commands:

- “Call <contact>”

- “Send <message> to <contact> via text”

- “<contact name>” (shows the contact card)

- “Call <contact/place> in <location>”

- “Send a text to <contact> <message>”

- “Email to <contact>, B C C <contact(s)>, Subject <subject>, message <message>”



Examples:

“Send email to Aatif Khan, Subject, post fix, Message, I have completed fixing my own posts”
“Call KFC in Brooklyn, New York”
“Send SMS to dad mobile please call me A S A P”
“Call help center”
“Send I cannot come right now to Carl via text”
Note: Google Now voice commands can be used to place calls in offline mode, too.

I prefer to text and email by hand but I have played around with the google now voice commands from the website onthecouchagain provided and they work well. I won't be using it for that purpose but glad its available to me.

Google Now is limited with alarms and reminders.

It doesn't like dates.

Google Now says:

"Sorry, alarms and reminders support times of day but not dates."

If you want something similar to Siri on the Note 2, just use the built-in S-voice. Double click on home button.

S-voice is laggy and sluggish though. The lady voice in S-Voice sounds freaky.

Google Now is very pleasing to the senses in terms of colors, fonts and voice interaction. Google did a great job with it.
