Re: siri sucks.

[Mary Otten]

I have found that most of the time, Siri dictation is really pretty accurate, more on the phone than on the watch. I’m using an older phone, a 10 r. My problem with Siri isn’t trying to get it to do simple things like open apps etc. It simply doesn’t hear what I say and comes back with really strange stuff a lot of the time. The only thing it never screws up is Open the app store. I wonder why that might be. Smile.

One thing Siri never seems to get right is the difference between "Flour" and "flower", I can dicate "Pleas also bring me 2 Kg of spelt flour" and it will always put "Please bring me 2 Kg of spelt flower". English of course is also a ridiculously difficult language when it comes to stuff like that, I find dictation in German is almost always 100% accurate because there aren't so many words which sound the same but are totally different. As for the above example, "flower" in German is "Blume" and "flour" is "Mehl", no chance to get that wrong.   From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Monday, August 28, 2023 11:36 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: siri sucks.   When i use dictation, sometimes the wrong word is entered, but certainly not the majority of the time.  I try to 1: be in a quiet environment, 2: speak a little more slowly than I would ordinarily speak, 3: speak clearly, 4: Go over several times what I want to say in my head before dictating.
