A friend asked Siri where babies came from and it explained it.
Another friend told Siri "I don't like Siri" and it answered, "Okay, I'll
remember that."
I don't have it either, one of these days,, maybe.

So there are no bodies berried then! LOL!

Ask her if she'll marry you and tell me what she says.  I've heard
that's pretty funny.  I'm looking forward to getting a new iPhone some
time this summer to get in on the action too! <grin>

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 comeup

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", forsome

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 prettymuch

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 interestinginstances

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 noiseand

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 isthis

is
there a
set of phrases the program recognizes or has to be promptedwith

other
than
the program name before requests can be carried out?  Also how
speaker
independent is the program?
