Is QWiki just reading Wikipedia w/ Animoto-style presentations?

8 pointsby rwalianyover 14 years ago
I looked at the demo video on http://www.qwiki.com/ and was impressed by their rendition of "Alvin and the Chipmunks" and "Chris Sacca." However, it turns out that both were verbatim from wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alvin_and_the_Chipmunks and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Sacca

So? It gets information from curated sources. The important part is how it reads and displays the information. That's their "experience."<p>The computer voice they have sounds pretty natural, is that part of the OS or part of their service?
