Myself, I have not noticed any difference in her
timing for a while, but perhaps I don’t give her time to cut me off.

Hi all, I have also noticed something very
disappointing about Siri. You can hardly say
anything to her without being cut off you barely
get a few words out and she's gone or at least
she won't let you say anymore. Sometimes I can
only get two or three words out and she cuts me
off. I have done this with text message notes
and reminders. Thank you all for the nice
messages about what Siri is not doing. These are
always good to learn from. God bless, Wren Langley

Hi, While I have at least solved the Siri
reminder for me, see my last email on this, I do
find that Siri is becoming less useful. More and
more, I use Google. Obviously, Google won’t
open apps for me, set alarms, etc., but for
non-device specific things I want to know,
Google is now more often able to answer my
questions. I find that sometimes Siri will, but
the way you have to ask her something can
sometimes seem rather picky. Example. During the
NCAA basketball tournament, I wanted to know
when the Wisconsin Badger game with Kentucky was
on. So I asked, “What time to the Wisconsin
Badgers play Kentucky today?†She didn’t
know. I thought I remembered the time, so I
asked, “Who is playing basketball at 8:15 PM
today?†She said, “Wisconsin is playing at
8:15 today.†Now, I ask you, how silly is
that? So since she knew the answer to that and
not to when the badgers were playing, she knew
half the answer I needed. So, I have now started
referring to her as Siri half wit. The one good
thing about Siri these days is that Apple allows
Google to be put on the IDevice.
Come on Apple, it’s not that you can’t do
it. Siri used to be better. What goes here?

Ugh! I'm really getting quite disappointed with
Siri and, if he/she can't manage those alarms now, well ...
Thanks for bringing this to our
attention. Maybe we need to start pressing in
on some of Siri's behaviour as I don't think it's really coming up to scratch.

Subject: Setting reminders with SIRI has become less useful
Hi,
Just thought I write about something I noticed
recently although I can’t say exactly when
this started. I used to be able to set a
reminder with SIRI in a way that if I wanted to
be reminded an hour or so before the appointment
or whatever I was reminding myself about, I
would simply do it in two parts like this:
Part 1: Set a reminder for Monday at 8 AM
SIRI would then say OK, just tell me what you
want to be reminded about. I would then do the second part like this example:
Part 2: Dentist appointment at 10 AM
SIRI would then confirm: Here is your reminder
for Monday at 8 AM, it says: Dentist appointment at 10 AM.
Now if I ask SIRI to create a reminder as in
part 1 and then tell it what I have above in part 2, the reply will be this:
Here is your reminder for Monday at 10 AM, it says “Dentist appointment†.
In other words it takes the time I want to hear
the reminder before the event and adds it to the
time I want to be reminded at to create a
reminder at the time of the event. I find this
very annoying since I always like to remind
myself a bit before and to have the actual time
of my appointment or phone call or whatever it is as part of the reminder.
Just now I wanted to set a reminder about a
Skype call I have at 8 AM on Monday. I tried to
trick it into doing it by saying it differently
like “Set a reminder at 7 AM on Monday†and
then “Skype call with Brian at 8 AM†or
“Skype call with Brian in 1 hour†or “I
have a Skype call in 60 minutes with Brian†.
Each time it figured out that my Skype call was
1 hour from 7 AM and wanted to create a reminder
for 8 AM just called “Skype call with
Brian†. I finally tricked it by setting the
reminder for 7:30 AM and saying “Skype call
with Brian in 30†and I guess not saying “30 minutes†confused it enough.
Do I have better things to do than to try and be smarter than SIRI? *smile*.
Regards,
Sieghard
