I'm afraid it's a case of keep playing to get familiar. I've done a search in vain before too!
Top tip is that it relies on US English I think, so I seem to get better results when I say Meet Jed for coffee on March 22nd as opposed to 22 March. It's limited, and I can't get it to update location, or reminders, or repeats. It's really just a quick add for a simple thing. I suggest downloading Quick Cal (App Store) which really makes for a natural experience and are both brilliant. A hot key calls up a window and you can enter things REALLY naturally and it updates your preferred iCal calendar eg meet Jed for a coffee 10am next Friday at Starbucks.... voila! You can even enter Reminders from it too! Good luck On Thursday, March 8, 2012 4:01:58 PM UTC, Jason Davies wrote: > > I've got Lion with iCal and Quickcal.
