Re: how smart Siri?

It sounds like Siri is getting borring and I was so looking forward to 
having some laughs when I get a 5S and can ditch my iPhone 4.

I just asked, "Why am I silly" and Siri said, "I've wondered that myself."
Then I said, "Hey, Siri, how about it?" She said, "Would you  like to 
search
the web for that?"


Back to being serious and productive!

Erhrhrhrhrhmnmnmnm,...    can't say I understood the response, but it was
different.

I said:  why am I silly?
She said:  an excellent question!.

Try asking Siri "Who let the dogs out?"

So there are no bodies berried then! LOL!

Ask her if she'll marry you and tell me what she says.  I've heard that's
pretty funny.  I'm looking forward to getting a new iPhone some time this
summer to get in on the action too! <grin>

You should ask her to make you a sandwich, or if she will be your
girlfriend. There are many funny things you can ask Siri and some
will just give you funny responses, while others will find nearby
places which might match what you are looking for. One of my
favorites is, "Where are the bodies buried?"

Ray, I suggest you give some thought to going to
http://www.applevis.com
and look at what they have to offer. There are podcasts on a number
of
apps and I'm betting the Iphone and Siri as well. Also, you might 
try
checking the archives for things like Siri commands or just Siri.
Also
you
might just do a search for Siri on google and see what you come up
with,
you might be pleasantly surprised.

Hi Ray,

SIRI is designed to understand natural speech and for certain
things
it
is
more forgiving than others. For example, you can tell SIRI any of
the
following and it will do it perfectly:

Set my alarm for 7 AM
Set my alarm for 7 in the morning
Wake me up at 7
I have to get up at 7

However, if you tell it "Wake me up at 7 on Wednesday", for some
reason
it
will tell  you that an alarm can't be set for more than 1 day 
ahead
and
then
it asks if you want to set a Reminder instead.

Reminders are very easy to set and allow for good options. You can
say:

Remind me to Call John on Wednesday at 3 PM
Remind me to take the garbage out at 8 every Tuesday morning - 
this
will
set
a recurring reminder

You can ask it to calculate stuff, regular arithmetic,
tips/percentages
and
so on.
You can ask it to convert most stuff
You can ask geographical information like "What is the fifth most
populated
country in the world
Anything Wolfram Alpha has information about you can pretty much
ask.

By "how speaker independent is the program" I assume you mean does
it
understand different people? If so, then yes, as long as you speak
whatever
language you have your iPhone and SIRI set to without too much of
an
accent
then it should work quite well. I have a slight German accent but
typically
SIRI understands me rather well. There are interesting instances
where I
say
something and SIRI repeats it completely differently. One example
is
that I
usually say "Call my work" if I want to call my main business
number.
SIRI
of course knows who I am since as long as you have yourself 
entered
as a
contact with work number, home number, mobile number, email and
addresses
and so on SIRI knows that "you" are you. Anyhow, I can say "Call 
my
work
number" 10 times and it gets it right every time, but from time to
time
it
just seems to go off on a rant and it will say back "Call my
brother" or
"Call Mike Roark" or something stupid like that. If I repeat "Call
my
work"
and really pronounce it, it will just not get it and I just say
"Call
Sieghard at work" and that is fine. Then again later "Call my 
work"
works
just fine.

I think it might sometimes depend on how busy the servers are,
maybe
how
good your connection is, how much background noise there is and 
all
that.
Normally background noise is dealt with very well, I have dictated
short
text messages in a restaurant with a lot of background noise and 
it
was
no
problem. What is a problem is if you tell it something and 
somebody
else
is
talking very nearby, then SIRI may just continue to listen not
knowing
the
other person speaking is not part of what I am saying.


Regards,
Sieghard

Perhaps not the best way to phrase that but the question is this 
is
there a
set of phrases the program recognizes or has to be prompted with
other
than
the program name before requests can be carried out?  Also how
speaker
independent is the program?
