It does, but like speech to text messaging I think you just look like a nutter walking down the road talking to your phone rather than to someone else.

So you look like a nutter when you're actually talking to someone?  :tongue: :grin:

they pushed this as a big deal on the new iphone??? the speech is poor and i tink very very few people would actually use it.
Title: Re: Siri
Post by: JulesS3 on 12 October 2011, 15:10
Just for the 4S though expect a port via jailbreak im sure.

the speech is poor

Really! When did you get a go on one?

I want a 4s because of the mirroring as i have Apple Tv at home, but don't fancy buying one so will have to wait for 5 as my upgrade will be due.

Post by: R32UK on 12 October 2011, 15:29
pretty good hwo it understands stuff... would i use it?? probably not  :undecided:


im guessing its one of those learn as you go type things, which i simply dont have the time/patience for. I would rather do it manually... i know its done then.

Post by: Stronz on 12 October 2011, 16:06
Apprently, the voice is one of those things they hope to update in subsequent os updates, although no official line on this has been put out (and I cant remember where I read that - possibly engadget)

if it gets people onto microphones and not looking at their phones when texting then this can only be a good thing

Agreed. For all other iPhones there is Vlingo, does pretty much the same thing, with less polish I suspect :wink:

Seems some of the answers are baked into Siri:
http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/3bcbd2e0-f685-11e0-9381-00144feab49a.html#axzz1anCgIfcN

Kinda takes away the randomness, yet adds a layer a gaming to find hidden 'Easter eggs' I guess.

After having a play with Siri and looking like a douche talking to myself in my room for the last half hour i can see it being quite useful and not a gimmick, it seems to pick up words really well and understands alot of questions/commands etc.

apparentley you can make siri work on iphone 4 as well

more reason not to buy 4s

But it clearly says it dosn't work as it needs the 4s to authenticate the request sent to the apple servers.....work in progress I think. Bets are it will work but you will need to jailbreak it.

Yeah will need a jailbroken version. Shouldnt be too long though.

Siri cracked, might come to older JB iPhones. You just need a 4S device ID, if Apple even keep a record of it and know its real.
