And once you ask where are the bodies berried, what does she say? I have
only an iPhone 4.

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.

The dictation limit is 30 seconds per segment. You can activate the

each batch is converted.

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?
