Hi Ray,
It does say 42 but it doesn't always say that. I just asked SIRI about a
dozen times "What is the meaning of life" and it answered differently
almost
every time. Anyhow, sure it's fun to ask SIRI silly questions, but the
fact
is that SIRI is awesome for certain things. There simply is no easier way
to
set an alarm or to start a timer if you are cooking or to set a reminder.
SIRI also works extremely well for dictating a quick reply to a text
message, I can be walking along and if I have my headset connected and get
a
text message, I just press and hold the middle key of the remote, say
"Reply" and my message and SIRI will do it.
I have also gotten a few good laughs from it, once I told it to set an
alarm
for 4 AM because I had to get up super early to catch an early flight and
she replied "I set your alarm, but that's really early so please don't
wake
me up".
Regards,
Sieghard

Although many of the Siri funny responses can be found on Google and
YouTube, here are a few of my own for people to try.
What do you look like?

Ask her if she'll marry you and tell me what she says. I've heard

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.

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.

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?
