How to make the Apple Watch Raise to Speak feature work every time, Apple Insider, Front Page News

How to make the Apple Watch Raise to Speak feature work every time
  
The ability to just raise your wrist and speak to your Apple Watch without
the words "Hey, Siri," is brilliant. What was initially a convenience is now
increasingly useful, too, and yet it's extraordinarily unreliable. Here's
how to make it better -and why you need it to.

We must call out the phrase "Hey, Siri," twenty times a day and there is not
a single thing we don't like about it -except those words. The ability to
have your iOS device send messages, tell you the news, answer calls, play
music and countless more things, without even touching it is astounding.
Having to prefix every single request with "Hey, Siri," is not. 

If you're a heavy user of Siri, those words become a chore and you end up
saying them so often that they turn to meaningless syllables that you rush
through. Don't get us wrong, the idea of going back to pressing the Home
button before you speak would be like returning to the Bronze Age. 
Yet when Apple introduced Raise to Speak with watchOS 5, it was clearly the
next step. Just raise your wrist, speak to your Watch and Siri would go do
what you ask without you ever needing to say, "Hey, Siri." Okay, Siri might
misunderstand you, but that's Siri, it's nothing to do with how you invoke
it.
When it works

If there's anything more exasperating than Siri offering to send a text to
your ex instead of playing the "Texas Essentials" playlist on Apple Music,
it's Raise to Speak doing nothing at all.
Before we were driven to figure this problem out, we were getting Raise to
Speak reacting perhaps one out of twenty times. In regular use, we quickly
got to the stage where we didn't bother and instead just always said, "Hey,
Siri," regardless.

Now after practicing an awful lot, we're getting it working about nineteen
out of twenty times. 
How to do it

You do have to have this feature switched on or you'll be fruitlessly
shouting into your Watch forever. On the Watch, go to Settings, scroll to
General and tap on Siri. If your Watch can do this, so if it's a Series 4 or
later one, then you'll have a Raise to Speak option. 
 
You have to set up Raise to Speak before you can use it. Only Series 4 or
later have this setting, though.

Switch that on and many happy hours of trying to get it work lie ahead of
you.
The trick is to remember that the Watch is not listening out all the time.
It will listen for "Hey, Siri," as soon as you turn your wrist, but that's
not Raise to Speak.

Clearly, given the name, it's no surprise that you have to raise your arm in
order to make this work. It's the specific motion and perhaps also
positioning that makes the Watch start listening to what you're saying.

However, what is surprising is just how much you have to raise your arm. We
find that it works most consistently when you raise it so high that the
Watch is in front of your face. 
It seems to help most if the Watch face is close to perpendicular to the
ground. Raise it and tilt the Watch so that it is directly face-on to you,
and then it works.

You have to raise it and start speaking pretty much immediately, but as you
do so, you will get the screen changing to show the words "What can I help
you with?" and the Siri symbol reacting to your voice.

Basically, act like you're about to start dancing an Argentine Tango and
you're sorted.
 
Your first clue that Raise to speak is working is when the Watch changes
from your regular face (left) to listening to what you're saying (right).

Compare that to how you can just turn your wrist enough to light the screen
and then say "Hey, Siri." That always works and it always works quickly and
you can do it without even raising your arm an inch. 
As much as we like the idea of never saying that trigger phrase again, and
as much as we will never change our mind about wanting that some day, we
haven't got it now. Not effectively, not practically. 
Which is more than a pity, it's increasingly a hindrance. Even when watchOS
5 was officially released to the public in September 2018, it was highly
likely that you had many devices that could react to "Hey, Siri." 

It was remarkably easy to have a situation where you're in a place with an
iPhone, an iPad and even a Mac that are all listening out for the words.
Then, of course, you could also have a HomePod or do, and the only
difference with those is that they have better microphones. We have been two
rooms away, talking to our Apple Watches, and the HomePod has reacted
instead.

Consequently, we might, for instance, successfully set an alarm on our Apple
Watch but the HomePod in our office is set too.

Then we got AirPods 2 and now the very devices in our ears are listening out
for the trigger phrase.
As good as these devices are at checking with each other and trying to
reason which one you meant to call out to, they get it wrong. If you're
wearing AirPods 2 and for some reason decide to

Indeed, quite interesting!
I've downloaded both files and will listen to it when I have the time.
One thing I noticed is that while these are 28 minutes or so recordings, 
the file is really small compared to the time!


And, though this list is focused on phones, please let me just ask it: 
does anyone know about a good way to record with this good quality and 
don't take up much space?
Any help will be appreciated. If someone is willing to help and wants to

When you hear the prompt to open or save, just tab to the one you want.  Then 
enter on it.

 

If you select ‘save’ it will be sent to your download folder and from there you 
can just enter on it to play it.

 

If you select ‘open’ option, it will start playing right away.

Ciri shortcuts

2019-04-20 Thread Andrew Roberts 
Hi,

Does anyone know if there are any Ciri shortcuts available for Tunein?  I've 
been into the Ciri settings and can't see any.  If there aren't any is there 
any way of creating them?

Many thanks,

Andrew

Mixcloud

2019-04-20 Thread Andrew Roberts 
Hi,

Does anyone use the Mixcloud app for iOS?  I am having a lot of problems with 
it, in particular with being able to move backwards and forwards through the 
audio and also resuming a show if I have had to leave it for a while.

Many thanks for any help given.

Andrew

RE: Interview with the woman who is the Siri voice

2019-04-20 Thread Fazil M. 
This link does not take me to a play-site or a download site but it takes me to 
my Download folder file list but does not give me an option to download or to 
play, although I hear the prompt whether I want to save or open it but does not 
tell me how to do either of those.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks!

For anyone curious, the Eyes on Success podcast this week featured the woman 
who is the original female Siri voice.  I’m pasting the link below for this 
week’s podcast.  They also reference a previous podcast where someone from 
Nuance explains how they convert human speech into the computerized voices we 
use, which is the second link pasted below.

issue with cloud save in crafting kingdome?

2019-04-20 Thread goshawk on horseback 
hello all, 
is anyone else having problems with the save to cloud feature in crafting 
kingdome? 
everytime I try to save my progress, it keeps saying"could not connect, please 
try again later". 
this has been going on for the last 4 days now, whether I use wifi or mobile 
data. 
I even tried it on my second iPhone, even though on that there was no progress 
to really save, and the same thing happened. 
more to the point, if anyone else has had this issue, have you found a way to 
fix it? 

Simon
