RE: Siri Problem Solved

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Often Siri features are updated on Apple's servers and it is not always 
necessary for an iOS update to be released to fix some issue with Siri.
Asking Siri to identify a song also works again for me.

As the news commentator Paul Harvey  sometimes used to  say, this is just what, 
not why. I have no idea why. Just before doing the following experiment,  Siri  
still was not working. A few days ago, when music recognition was discussed on 
this list, I decided to put it into control panel and experiment with it. It 
was probably about then when siri stopped working. Today, when I removed music 
recognition from control panel, you have guessed it by now, siri works again. I 
then put music recognition back into control panel, and siri still works. I 
guess old siri was jealous that I had put another way to recognize music into 
my phone, and it entered a period of sulking and pouting. But then, I guess it 
is over it now, I hope for good. Being that old siri uses Shazam to recognize 
music,  it wasn't jealous when I installed that program several years ago.

RE: Siri Problem

[Sieghard Weitzel]

If I dictate and end a sentence with period it does put a period, i.e. the 
punctuation mark. What language do you use? If you are not on American English 
you may have to say "Full Stop" instead of "Period" to insert that particular 
punctuation symbol.

Hello,

Does anyone know how to get Siri to stop putting the word “period” into a text 
message instead of just putting in the punctuation Mark?

I'm not sure what is meant by VoiceOver being much clearer then JAWS. If you're 
talking about the speech synthesizer then you can switch to the Nuance voices 
with JAWS, which are the same voices used by Apple, at least for the most part. 
Plus, clarity in a speech synthesizer is a highly subjective opinion, and there 
are many who feel Eloquence, the default speech synthesizer with JAWS, is quite 
clear and responsive.

Re: Siri problem

Shirley, Tom's voice is more human sounding, his voice is our favorite voice 
on our phones. His Voice was used on one of the phone automated systems, but 
I can't remember which one that was. It may have been dish.

I have Jaws on my computer and personally, I don't have a problem with it at 
all. Can you change the pitch in typing mode in settings because I didn't 
find that anywhere. I decided to go with Tom. That voice sounds more human 
than some of the rest. At least if I get tired of it, I can change it to 
something different and glad to have that option.

I agree with your rant; and I'll add my own.
VoiceOver is free.
You get amazing accessibility, and it does not cost a cent more.
Bugs exist in all software, get over it.
If you use a Windows computer, you have to spend a heck of a lot more for 
good accessibility; and there are bugs there too.
And, while I'm on the subject, the free screen readers for Windows do not 
hold a candle to VoiceOver on the iPhones or iPads.

When you are using your bluetooth keyboard, which in my case is logitech 810, 
how do you change the pitch? It sounds higher than everything else. I'd like to 
lower it one step.

RE: Siri problem

[Sharon]

I liked the Siri male voice the best. However, it would not stay as my default. 
When I turned voice over off, and back on, it would always go back to Samantha. 
I have now down loaded Alex, and he won the battle.

Re: Siri problem

[Joshua Hendrickson]

I find all these messages very interesting.  Personally, I really
enjoy voice over, the voices that it has to offer as well as the Siri
voices as well.  It is kind of cool to make your voice over voice a
siri voice if you want.  Currently, I'm using the Australian Male siri
voice for voice over and the UK female voice from siri for voice over.
It would be cool if eloquence could be used for our iPhones.  I'm
still running IOS 12.41, SO I don't have as many pronunciation issues
as some of you guys are having since you've updated.  Maybe some of
these issues will be fixed with 14.00.

I agree with your rant; and I'll add my own.
VoiceOver is free.
You get amazing accessibility, and it does not cost a cent more.
Bugs exist in all software, get over it.
If you use a Windows computer, you have to spend a heck of a lot more for good 
accessibility; and there are bugs there too.
And, while I'm on the subject, the free screen readers for Windows do not hold 
a candle to VoiceOver on the iPhones or iPads.

RE: Siri problem

[chaltain]

I'm not sure what is meant by VoiceOver being much clearer then JAWS. If you're 
talking about the speech synthesizer then you can switch to the Nuance voices 
with JAWS, which are the same voices used by Apple, at least for the most part. 
Plus, clarity in a speech synthesizer is a highly subjective opinion, and there 
are many who feel Eloquence, the default speech synthesizer with JAWS, is quite 
clear and responsive.

Re: Siri problem

[Shirley Baker]

I have Jaws on my computer and personally, I don't have a problem with it at 
all. Can you change the pitch in typing mode in settings because I didn't find 
that anywhere. I decided to go with Tom. That voice sounds more human than some 
of the rest. At least if I get tired of it, I can change it to something 
different and glad to have that option.

Hello all,


For some reason Siri has quit speaking. 
I have tried pressing the volume up after asking her a question and all that 
seems to do is raise the volume of the phone but not Siri. I have also tried 
rebooting my phone and that did not help. What else can I try to get her 
speaking again? I am using the latest iOS update on a iPhone 10S.

I have to admit it's not so much the voices that I don't care for, as much as 
the way the words are being changed in pronunciation lately. What's up with 
that?

RE: Siri problem

[chaltain]

I also find myself scratching my head sometimes over the things people complain 
about and finding out what people hate. That being said, we we’re paying the 
same amount of money for our iPhones that sighted people are paying, and that 
means we have the same right they do to ask for changes and enhancements. 
iPhones are not cheap, and we’re talking about features Apple puts on the phone 
and brags about, so although we can appreciate those features we should never 
settle or stop asking for improvements. The best way to have bugs hang around 
release after release is to not report them.

 

I also don’t agree with the statement that the free screen readers for Windows 
can’t hold a candle to VoiceOver on the iPhones or iPads. It’s true I’m not 
using Narrator on a smart phone, but on my PC, I find NVDA and Narrator more 
than hold their own.

period. Apple has made it nice for us although thereare bugs. There will always

What else can I try to get her speaking again? I am using the latest iOS update

Re: Siri problem

MyApologies
If you are Lookin' to  Change  Your  Siri voice

Go InTo Settin's, & Then InTo Siri  & Search, & Then  Into Siri Voice

WithIn Siri Voice, you should be Able to Alter 
(if you Choose to) Your Siri's Voice


Hope this Helps

Alright,, I'll Chime IN  & Hope this Helps:
To Change the  VoiceOver Voice (i.e., Text-2-Speech)

Go InTo Settin's, & Then InTo Accessibility, & 
Then InTo VoiceOver, & Then InTo Speech, & Finally InTo Voice


This should Present you with Options (Available) 
Options  For Your VoiceOver'sVoice

i.e., Samantha, Alex,, Tom etc etc

(Please) Be Sure to Let "us"  Know if this Works 4  You
Because
if it does not, then Others on This List 
can  Offer Their InSight into the Matter. as  I'm 
NOT an Experienced user of Apple's iOS.

Re: Siri problem

[Diane Giannetti]

No, Siri and voiceover are two different things. With voiceover we need to go 
into settings and go into voice over and then speech and I have not done this 
in a long time, but I know there’s something to do with language and all that 
and changing voices with voiceover. Maybe somebody can be a little bit more 
clearer than I am at this point. But I know that’s where you go. LOL.

How do you change VoiceOver and leave the Siri voice where you want it? I 
thought once you changed Siri, that would be the same for VoiceOver.

JAWS voices [was "RE: Siri problem"]

[chaltain]

You can just go into JAWS in the system tray and then selection Options -> 
Voices -> Add/Remove Voices. There's a play sample button for each voice.

Re: Siri problem

[Shirley Baker]

I really don't like any of the voices but for now, I've got Siri male. I really 
hate the sound of all of them except for Siri male and really hate the way Siri 
voices pronounce some words. Looks like they could come up with better ones.

Talkback is the most common Android one; Voice Assist is one for Samsung. I 
haven't heard it. I can take JAWS way better than the Ivona voices.

I like Siri and Samantha, so haven't tried any of the other ones for my iPhone. 
I've heard Douglas Walker's male voices on his phone on the Hadley videos, and 
they don't appeal to me. It is better though, that we have the choices to make.

I use Samantha for Siri and Tom for voice-over, but I would sure like the Paul

Re: Siri problem

[Arlene]

Carolyn, you're thinking of Susan Bennet, The american siri voice is no 
longer Susan Bennet, for ever since we got our iPhones
a little over 2 years ago. Well at least when we got our phones the siri 
voice was
the different voice. I've read the wikipedia page about siri, but I don't 
remember
now if it said who does the siri voice after Susan. I like this other Siri 
voice,
it's so pleasant sounding, and Susan's voice is great too. So maybe anyone 
that's
had an iPhone longer than 2 years could tell us when they ended using 
Susan's voice

for Siri, and when the new voice began.

Siri is a voice from someone, I think named Susan something, that Apple got 
her to record stuff and stuff and more stuff, and all kind of stuff for them 
to program.


I do not know if the other voices are synthetic, but I think they are. If 
so, they are very good, as is TalkBack - better than JAWS, and 1,000% better 
than Ivona on the Victor Reader Stream that I detest and can hardly

RE: Siri problem

[Sieghard Weitzel]

The old SIRI prior to iOS 13 was based on snippets of human speech, the new 
SIRI voice is synthetic and much better.
Of course if Apple ever offered Eloquence on the iPhone I'd be a happy man. 
When it come sto the computer I couldn't care less about human sounding voices, 
I need a synthetic voice which can run fast and still be understood and there 
is few better than Eloquence when it comes to that.

RE: Siri problem

[Simon A Fogarty]

Remember that voiceover and talkback / jaws are screen readers, 
They are not voices 

The jaws synth is eloquence by default,
 Talkback uses I think googles synth voice,
And it depends on where in the world you are now days as to which voice synth 
voiceover uses on apples different devices.

RE: Siri problem

[chaltain]

Susan Bennett is the voice of Siri, and she started her work as Siri with 
Scansoft, which was acquired by Apple. 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susan_Bennett

I'm not sure what you mean by synthetic voices, since their all synthetic, but 
I'm assuming your thinking of formant synthesis when you're thinking of the 
more robotic voices versus concatenative synthesis which produces the more 
human sounding voices. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speech_synthesis

Talk Back and JAWS are screen readers and not text to speech engines. They can 
both use multiple engines. Talk Back usually comes with the TTS from Google 
which is a concatenative TTS while you're probably thinking of Eloquence when 
you think of JAWS which uses formant synthesis. You can configure JAWS to use 
the voices from Nuance though, which are the same voices used by Apple.

the male American Apple had suggested to the other person to change it to 
a British voice. So it’s up to you but whatever when you change it and it 
should work. Apparently with the next update this should be resolved.

Talk Back is a screen reader, not a voice. It uses the Google Voice by 
default.

I like Siri and Samantha, so haven't tried any of the other ones for my

RE: Siri problem

['Yates, Danney' via VIPhone]

Hi everyone,
Well, I've tried switching voices to Alex, then gone to English UK and tried 
Daniel, Kate and Serena.  Nothing! 
The path I took was Settings/Accessibility/Spoken Content/Voices.  Is this the 
correct path to make this adjustment?
Never knew how  much I used Siri until this junk happened.

they are very good, as is TalkBack - better than JAWS, and 1,000% better than

Re: Siri problem

[Diane Giannetti]

Someone else had the same problem and she called Apple. I also had the same 
problem. What we have to do is change her voice if you have the American  
Female  that seems to be the problem. It was with the last update that some of 
us are having a problem with that. I changed it to the male American Apple had 
suggested to the other person to change it to a British voice. So it’s up to 
you but whatever when you change it and it should work. Apparently with the 
next update this should be resolved.

Siri problem

[Greg Wocher]

Hello all,
For some reason Siri has quit speaking. I have tried pressing the volume up 
after asking her a question and all that seems to do is raise the volume of the 
phone but not Siri. I have also tried rebooting my phone and that did not help. 
What else can I try to get her speaking again? I am using the latest iOS update 
on a iPhone 10S. 

Thanks,
Greg Wocher

Re: Siri problem

[Richard Turner]

I googled What does the name SIRI stand for. And found this article on the 
Forbes web site:



Adam Cheyer, Co-Founder of Siri

As a startup, when coming up with Siri's name, we wanted something that was 
easy to remember, short to type, comfortable to pronounce, and a not-too-common 
human name. And we wanted to be able to get the domain name for not too much 
money...

Once Siri became the leading candidate, everyone on the team had their own 
favorite explanation of the meaning. Dag Kittlaus, our Norwegian-American CEO, 
once considered using Siri as the name of his child and liked the Norse meaning 
"beautiful woman who leads you to victory." For me, Siri, which means "secret" 
in Swahili, was a tip of the hat to our pre-named days when we began as 
stealth-company.com. I also liked the fact that it 
was the reverse of Iris, a software system I helped build as part of the CALO 
project which Siri spun out of. Some liked the resemblance to SRI, which was 
the research institute that ran the CALO project. We knew about Siri = beauty 
in Sinhalese, but missed that SHIRI = "butt" in Japanese (they're not the same 
word, but closely pronounced...)

And it was all a big surprise for the team that 
Apple decided to keep the original Siri 
name for its launch as part of iOS. There were other candidates that were 
leading, up until the final weeks...

This question originally 
appearedon 
Quora.

Re: Siri problem

[cwc]

I have run into a problem with Siri using Uber. When I ask Siri to set up a 
ride, it tells me that it has not been taught to do that. Two weeks ago it 
could. 
I spoke with Apple Support, and they duplicated the procedure and got the 
same result. Anybody know what is going on?
 
Uber was not helpful with this issue. 

Thanks.

Siri problem

[Harry Bell]

On iPhone 7 Plus ios 11.0.1, if I ask Siri to turn off invert colours, Siri 
claims she has but in fact she hasn’t. This happens with classics or smart 
invert colours on. Do others notice that Siri lies??

RE: I also had Christine's Siri problem, or at least one similar

[Sieghard Weitzel]

I currently also have the issue that when I receive a text message I say 
"Reply" followed by my message and then SIRI asks me to whom I want to send the 
message to, SIRI does not seem to make the connection that normally "Reply" 
means to reply/send to the last received person/number.

Whats App by the way had an update today and it said that it now supports using 
SIRI to send Whats App messages or make Whats App calls and very welcome also 
is the announcement that you can now answer a  Whats App call on the lock

someone, gave their name and then said just the word mobile and then stated the

get the sorry message described below.  However, if I asked her to text someone 
by saying text and then just the phone number and the message contents, then 
the text would go through without a problem.  I tried this on both my iPhone 6S 
and 6S plus.  Note that I had a problem with Siri a few months back, as she 
then often seemed to repeat my text messages back with a different accent but

SIRI for me is behaving horribly. I ask it to call somebody who is in my 
contacts and SIRI says "Calling so and so" giving the name of the person, it 
may even ask if I want to use Home or Mobile if I have two numbers. I tell it 
to use Mobile and then it tells me "Sorry I can't make your call" or even worse 
" I don't see so and so in your contacts" where clearly it found that person 
before and if I ask to show the same person's mobile number SIRI dutyfully 
tells me what it is.

RE: Siri problem since update...anyone else?

[Kevin Minor]

Hi.

 

I only used Siri one time, but when I did, all I did was hold the Home
button down until I heard a tone, then I released the button and told Siri
what I wanted to do.  As I said I have only used Siri one time, so it may
not work the way I think.

Hello all,

I am on an iPhone 5S and I shut down and rebooted my phone after the latest
update. I have been able to hold down the home button while using Siri until
I am done talking. However, now, Siri cuts me off and starts responding
before I am done talking even though I am still holding down the home
button. It is extremely frustrating. If I ask Siri to text someone I only
get two words in past their name. Then Siri cuts me off and reads back a
short two word text because Siri won't let me finish. :( No matter how many
times I do this, Siri continually cuts me off, even if i talk really fast or
really slow or really loud or normal. This just started yesterday after the
update. 

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks,

Siri problem since update...anyone else?

[Christina C.]

Hello all,

I am on an iPhone 5S and I shut down and rebooted my phone after the latest 
update. I have been able to hold down the home button while using Siri until I 
am done talking. However, now, Siri cuts me off and starts responding before I 
am done talking even though I am still holding down the home button. It is 
extremely frustrating. If I ask Siri to text someone I only get two words in 
past their name. Then Siri cuts me off and reads back a short two word text 
because Siri won't let me finish. :( No matter how many times I do this, Siri 
continually cuts me off, even if i talk really fast or really slow or really 
loud or normal. This just started yesterday after the update. 

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks,
Christina

Re: Siri problem since update...anyone else?

[Alex Hall]

Have you tried a reset? Not a reboot, but holding down the home and power 
buttons simultaneously for about ten seconds? It ma also be worth going into 
Settings  Siri and toggling Siri off and back on. I don't personally use the 
feature you described, but these are standard troubleshooting steps to try.

I have not tried a reset in the way you described. Is that safe and what is the 
difference?

Re: Siri problem since update...anyone else?

[Alex Hall]

Yes, it is safe. I don't know the technical differences, but it is essentially 
a next-level reset. I know some people who perform this routinely, just as a 
matter of course, to keep any problems from building up. I don't, personally, 
and I save it for only when it is necessary. Either way, it will not cause any 
data loss or settings resets.

Re: Siri problem since update...anyone else?

[David Chittenden]

Holding the home and power buttons for 10 seconds is a safe reset. It should 
only be used when turning the iOS device off, and then on again does not fix 
the problem. When done, iOS will take longer to reboot because it rebuilds the 
driver stacks.

RE: Siri problem since update...anyone else?

[Kramlinger, Keith G., M.D.]

Didn’t this, at one time, inactivate VoiceOver on some devices? Is that still a 
risk?

Holding the home and power buttons for 10 seconds is a safe reset. It should 
only be used when turning the iOS device off, and then on again does not fix 
the problem. When done, iOS will take longer to reboot because it rebuilds the 
driver stacks.

Hello all,

I am on an iPhone 5S and I shut down and rebooted my phone after the latest 
update. I have been able to hold down the home button while using Siri until I 
am done talking. However, now, Siri cuts me off and starts responding before I 
am done talking even though I am still holding down the home button. It is 
extremely frustrating. If I ask Siri to text someone I only get two words in 
past their name. Then Siri cuts me off and reads back a short two word text 
because Siri won't let me finish. :( No matter how many times I do this, Siri 
continually cuts me off, even if i talk really fast or really slow or really 
loud or normal. This just started yesterday after the update.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Thanks,

Re: Siri problem since update...anyone else?

No, that is a different command which only works when VO is active and crashes 
the springboard. People no longer recommend it, so I would rather not say the

siri problem since upgrade

[Lenny McHugh]

Hello, I have the 4s and after the os upgrade siri does not do the same things. 
I use to be able to say find something siri would ask if I wanted her to search 
the internet.  When I responded with yes a search was launched. Now when I say 
yes or no she just says I thought so. How can I get her to actually launch the 
search?

SIRI Problem.

[Jim Noseworthy]

Hi Gang:

I am running an iPhone 5 with the latest IOS update.  When I ask SIRI for such 
things as a weather report, the screen locks in the middle of her answer; thus, 
causing me to lose most of the answer.

Question: how do I prevent the screen from locking?

Thanks all over the place gang.

RE: SIRI Problem.

[Richard Turner]

Do you have your settings so the screen locks after one minute?
If so, increase that amount or set it to never so you have to hit the power
button to lock it.
Or, are you asking these questions when the screen is locked?  Then, it is
just returning to the locked state.

Siri problem

[M. Emin Demirci]

Hi listers,
I'm using 4S and I upgraded the IOS to 6.1 yesterday. 
Somehow I turned on the Sırı, I don't knwo how, but I can not turn it off and 
it doesn't let me do anything else either. Has anybody experienced this problem 
and how can I get rid of? By the way I don't know practically anything about 
how to use Siri because it doesn't exist in my mother tongue Turkish yet.
Cheers
Emin

Re: Siri Problem

[Steve Robertson]

Totally power off the phone, wait a few minutes, and re-start the phone.

Original message:

Ever since last night Siri hasn’t worked for me. I try to access her 
and she says “I’m really sorry about this. I can’t take any requests 
right now. Try again in a little while.” Is there a fix for this? Thanks.

RE: Siri Problem

[paul and paula jordan]

Just wondering if anyone has had this experience.  I can use serie 3 or 4
times in a row, then the next time I press the listen button it doesn't
sound the tone and serie doesn't respond.  Just seems odd to me.  

God bless!

Yep, turn your phone off and then back on.  Sounds crazy, but has worked for
me every time!

Re: Siri Problem

[Victor Hugo]

I have had that happen to me, the only way I get siri back is by pressing the 
home button 6 times to reboot the phone.
It hasn't happened to me in a long time.
