The whole idea behind these virtual assistants is that they are more like real people, recognizing natural language, not making you wait for prompts and so on. If other virtual assistants are doing a better job of this then Sirir, then It's OK to point this out.

it is programed to react to certain questions, and is only capable of things 
it’s allowed to access.
Is it perfect? Not a chance.
Does it work the way it’s intended? Sure, if you figure out how to talk to it.

Siri is a great tool, but it is only as good as the person using it. If you 
don’t know how to use it, Siri will not work for you. As y soon as you realize 
that it’s not a person and don’t get mad at it for not working it will all of a 
sudden work flawlessly.

Again… I am not sure what the problem with Siri is. It works simply great here. 
I have used Ok Google, and many of the other personal assistance out there. 
Siri works the best here. Maybe it’s the tight integration into the operating 
system, Speech feedback always works, it works great with VoiceOver, I really 
am not sure why the world hates Siri so much. Is it just because Apple is 
sitting on the top of a massive pile of cash that the world hates Siri? It 
works great for what is supposed to do on your phone.

JMO,

Hello All,

I am not having such poor luck with Siri. I am not sure why Siri gets
such a bad rap. It calls people in my contact list, searches near by
places and can even tell me what my schedule looks like today… I am
not sure what I am doing different but it seems to work just fine here.

I agree with you. Siri has gone done. It is not a reliable partner
for any of us. If Siri we’re playing any major games it would have
lost. If it were football he would’ve lost in the first quarter. If
it were baseball it would’ve lost in the first inning. I guess we
should all say goodbye Siri it wasn’t so good knowing you.

Siri is the pits!  I can't even get it to find local stores around
here and as near as I can figure it is pretty much useless for what
I use to have it do.  Google is so much better and it is as if Apple
doesn't care any more.

Hello everyone,


First of all, I don't like to say anything is dumb, or stupid.

However, I must say that Serie is dumb, and stupid!


How in the world can it not call a number that's in my contacts?
That makes no sense to me, and it's very frustrating!


Sometimes it will call a number in my contacts. Other times it won't.

And it's not as though it's not understanding me, because it will
pull up a place with a similar name.

What really gets me is if I look up a number, and if I don't say the
city and state name of where I live, it might give me something 400
miles away.


why does it do this?

Is there a way to improve on this crazy situation?


I will admit, when I was using an Android, Google almost always
understood what I said, and would pull up what it was I wanted.
whether or not it was in my contacts.

So how can it be so much better?

Too bad I couldn't use OK Google on my iPhone. But I know that's
dreaming.


1 last thing, how do I turn the dictation sound up, and serie itself?


Thank you,


Terri
