On the downside, Dragon Go is currently available only in United States, however I am sure you will able to find the APK somewhere on XDA.

While, I would not call it a Siri competitor on Android, it does have similar features and Nuance also powers a part of Siri. To give you an idea of Dragon Go features, here are a few examples:
