Hello Kevin

I have encountered a number of occasions where I've got errors that say things 
like "I'm sorry; I can only listen to US English", and things like that. But I 
have managed to get some responses from it and the initial impressions are very 
good. It didn't seem to require much voice training; unlike other speech 
recognition systems I have seen. So yes; I do think it's worthwhile getting to 
know how it all fits together.

Some of the syntactical commands are obvious; although I haven't yet dared send 
an email dictated using it; nor have I successfully completed a text message. I 
can get it started by saying "Send Message To Dad". It found Dad's number, and 
opened up a text message. I can then put some text into it but when I say 
things like "Send Message", or "End Of Message", the "Send Message" text went 
into the message body; so I presume I have that syntax wrong.

All the same, I can see Siri proving a highly useful tool; especially for 
Gordon.

Thanks.

Lynne

• I do not personally own an iPhone 4s, but one of my family members does so I 
have had the opportunity to use Siri on various occasions. You could ask Siri: 
What time is it? Do I need a jacket today? How's my day looking? Wake me up 
tomorrow at 6:30 AM.

• Just talk to it normally. No need for talking excessively slowly or loudly. 
It does a nice job of picking up what you're saying and responding to you.
