besides the below, the Canadian Siri male voice also pronounces my name correctly. (In fact I use him!) Well, listen to some other (perhaps less refayned) accent then: where the r is spoken as in England's West Country or in ireland (or even Scotland!) <Grin >.

Hi Flor, The confusion with your name seems to be a VoiceOver issue. I always thought it was Flora because of the way VoiceOver pronounces it with your last name. So, I spelled it out and realized it is simply Flor. I think I will start spelling names from the start to make sure I have them correct. Later, Richard Reality is the leading cause of stress for those who are in touch with it.

Hi Flora, I don't think there is anything like that when it comes to searching the app store. Keep in mind that searching Google is quite different as you get so many more results. If you search for an app in the app store on your phone, all you get are app results. I also find it useful at time to just use Google if I want to look up information about an app I read about or maybe I want to know how much it costs. I just type the app name into the Google search box followed by "on iTunes" or "in the App Store". This will usually give me a link to the Apple app store as the first sponsored result and most of the time the link I want will be the first search result of the main search results. If I really have problems finding a particular app in the app store on my phone I usually try to find it as I described above, then I can check the name of the developer and use it to search the app store. It's also important when you search in the app store to double tap on "Search:" at the bottom right of the keyboard. Quite often if you check the quick results as you are typing an app name it doesn't show anything, but as soon as you tap on the search button the app then is easy to find.

Hello, Google Help (and that of yahoo, et al.) offers hints and tips on how to improve one's search queries so that one may get results more closely matching what is being sought. (For example: This could include putting a phrase in quotes so that only the key phrase - exactly as typed - appears in the results; or, it could exclude a word from the results by prefixing it with a - minus sign.) Does Apple's Store have any equivalent guides? So as to cut down on clutter and possible irrelevance, such modification suggestionss may be useful at the start, instead of using rather general (but unavoidable) search terms which generate hundreds or thousands of results in response. I hope my question is clear enough, to those who know what I'm on about. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
