Re: Siri and location
I found it. It was in Accessibility under keyboards and under soft software keyboards I had to turn off something that has to do with lowercase letters. But thank you so much Richard for trying to find that for me. some days ago the first thing I foundwas the setting area that you mentioned in this most recent post of yours. And that didn't seem to be the culprit. All is well now.

Re: Siri and location
I may have found your issue. Check VoiceOver Verbosity. Say cap, and delete text have separate settings in there both of which can use change pitch.

Re: Siri and location
Exactly. It never used to asked me where I wanted to texts or which address to use or email or iPhone. I'm talking about years past. The layering seems to get a little more cumbersome as time goes on for some apps such as how we've already discussed what's going on in the mail app. These sorts of things drive me crazy. I don't like to have to swipe anymore than necessary. Or tap or any of that. In the very first computer class I ever took decades ago the teacher said they were three components of working on a computer. There's ardware, software, and the jellywhere. He claims that most mistakes come from that third category and I'm sure all of you can guess what or who is the jelly were.

RE: Siri and location
If you have people you frequently text it usually also helps if you add them to your Favourites with their mobile number, SIRI usually then does not ask. However, I agree that sometimes it is stupid, I have a lot of business contacts where I have a office number, fax number, mobile number and email and sometimes when I say Call so and so it asks me which number and it actually lists also the fax number and this also happens when I say "Text so and so, I think SIRI should be smart enough to know that I can't text a home or fax number. OK, so theoretically you can I think text to a landline and most phone companies at least here in Canada will try to do speech recognition and convert what you say into text and then a TTS voice will read this to the person you texted, but if a mobile number is present SIRI should assume that you want to text to that number and not to a home, office or fax number. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Saturday, May 2, 2020 8:33 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Siri and location It offers the option of using the Email because you can text people using email.

But that's not what the weather report said. Just kidding. Many updates ago I complain that Siri seem to be getting stupider and stupider. For instance if I have a contact in contacts and I have it noted that their iPhone is an iPhone, when I ask Siri to text message that person it asks me whether I want to text message them using the phone number or an email. Those were questions I was never asked in previous updates and I'm talking quite some time ago at this point. Why would I want to email them rather than use a phone number? Is there some good reason for that? It makes me wanna remove all the emails from some of my most frequently texted contacts. And here's another odd thing that the new iOS on my new SE is doing. When I asked Siri how cold it is outside she keeps asking me where I am located. This is with location tracking on. This is even with my current city chosen in the Weather app. I went into Maps to see if there was something odd switched off there and didn't notice anything that might help with this. Does anyone have any clue what this might be about? Why Siri cannot locate where I am located? Nearby explorer sure can.

RE: Siri and location
It offers the option of using the Email because you can text people using email. Maybe say text so to their iPhone?

Re: Siri and location
Problem solved. There was one little thing having to do with Maps that was in the location tracking settings that I needed to switch on to improve improve whatever. I couldn't do it under maps outside of the location tracking section of settings. Anyway it knows where I am now.

RE: Siri and location
I do not have that weather issue on my fairly new 11. But, I do have her ask me all kind of options about a text, if I say, send text message to Mary Smith. Another thing that I have a really hard time making Siri do is a group text, even when I give the command send group text to Mary Smith, Bill Jones, John Dough, and Jane Johnson.
