Thanks for your inputs particularly Richard for the detailed explanations. Wel I often use SsIRI for hunting something on Google, she stops after showing up the link Sss.. I find this quite irritating as on one hand I have tooopen the links and read myself and also I find no way to return to the list of links if I may call it, after browsing one link . Any workarounds? Also, reading and typing messages and mails is quite convenient with viceover. What edge does SIRI give?t from my iPhone
