Things I say to Siri

[KevinJS]

I've never had much time for Siri. The feature always seemed to be a gimmick to me, but I keep hearing about improvements so thought I'd try it out.

It's actually quite impressive. So, what do you say to Siri? Here are a few of mine.

"Read back the last message I received from R** O******."

"Send a message to J****** M***** and start dictation."

"Planes overhead?" (Siri will tell you which flights they are and their distance from you)

I tried the planes question.

Follow up to that last question had Siri slightly confused.

"And what if the crow has to drive a Peterbilt and stick to public roads"

She decided to go looking at websites instead.

"Find the fastest route to... (followed by a street address)

Siri opens Maps, plots the route and starts navigation without any further input. OK, I'm impressed.

Using Siri within apps.

Maps - "Stop navigation"

- OK. I stopped navigating.

"Close Maps."

- Much as I would like to, I can't close apps.

"Find the fastest route to..."

(See previous post)

You can also ask Siri to turn on Airplane mode. I had to do this once when I had a spam pop up on my screen that disabled all the controls and wouldn't let me exit Safari to go to settings and turn on Airplane mode manually.

I really should use Siri more than I do which is hardly ever, I got tired of repeating myself though.

Siri's text dictation is getting much better. Rarely have to fix a text now when I say something and call out full punctuation during the dictation.

Siri and I still have a contentious relationship. I just asked her if she understood me better now and she thought I called her stupid. And on Apple CarPlay, she regularly misinterprets me. Apparently I do not speak succinctly enough for her. Or,, and this is more likely, she needs to clear out her ears.

"What is 7 divided by zero?"

-You know, that's not nice. Are you trying to scramble my computational cortex?

 

[KevinJS]

With phone locked.

"Hey Siri"
"Play me some music"

- Playing all songs - shuffled.

I asked Siri to play Moonlight Eyes on my MacBook, He came back with "Cant find Moonlight size" or words to that effect.

I think it must be accepted that a little more work is necessary.
