Hi, it gets it from the local weather app which comes on the iPhone. I
think the app gets it from Yahoo weather if I remember right. Although
you can ask Siri about the weather in different cities all over the
world, I think it still uses the same weather source and I don't think
you can change it.

Does Siri pull the weather data from the native weather app? Is there a way to
get Siri to read weather from other apps, such as MenuWeather? MenuWeather
seems to more accurately reflect the weather condisions in my micro-climate.
Thanks. Keith

Just say, "what's the weather today" and she will tell you. If Voice
Over is off she'll just tell you the temp, but if Voice Over is on, you
will get the temp, plus whatever shows up on the screen. Like the high
and low for the day.

It would appear the weather is also displayed rather than spoken
according to yesterday's mess about. So how do you get Siri to speak the
weather then?

Yes I agree. In fact if I am going to use Siri for a lot of interaction,
I disable Voice Over. Now there are cases where you get more information
displayed on the screen. For example if I ask Siri what the population
of Chicago is, she will tell me, but not by speaking it, instead, she
displays the information. So, in this case y ou have to use Voice Over.
However for the weather, scheduling reminders, meetings, making calls,
or sending texts, I definitely turn off Voice Over as it gets annoying
otherwise.

Oh ok I like the idea of having no VoiceOver when I use Siri. It seems
more logical and more like a natural conversation this way.

Hi Chris,
I use SIRI with my iPhone 4S and Voiceover turned on all the time both
for
asking it to dial numbers, for asking questions and for dictation. It
works
fine, only thing is that if Voiceover is not turned on SIRI will
automatically listen if, for example, you say "Text Christopher
Hallsworth"
and if you not follow right away with what you want the text message
to say,
SIRI will say something ike "What do you want to say to Christopher
Hallsworth". If you have Voiceover on you have to double tap or press
the
home key again to make SIRI listen, if Voiceover is off you can simply
speak
your message and SIRI will hear it.
Regards,
Sieghard

Ok, this is where the iPod Touch or iPad or iPad Mini comes in, as at
least
I can try Siri with VoiceOver before committing to an iPhone 4s or 5.

Hello Chris.
Before you buy your phone 5, you should try Siri with Voice Over.

I tried Siri on a carer's iPhone 5 today. What I can't get over is
the
fact it just recognized my voice instantly without training. I said
hello,
it said hello back. Then I said how are you? It said I'm very well. I
then
asked what the weather is like. It then brought up the Weather app. The
carer is fully sighted so of course does not need VoiceOver. But she
told me
about the Weather app opening.
I just find this amazing because I tried a few third party Voice
Dictation apps, namely Vokul, on my iPhone 4, and they do not like my
unusually high voice at all. Yet Siri does!
Just some thought from a prospective Siri user.
I also felt her iPhone 5. It's really nice and feel I can use it no
problem.
