Siri, on iPhone, lets you use your voice to place phone calls, schedule meetings, send messages, and much more. Ask it to do things just by talking!
Siri
It talks back, knows what you mean, and even understands what you say. You will keep finding more and more ways to use it, because it does so much and is so EASY to use.
Just use your voice to get things done. Amazing! Tap the microphone icon on the keyboard, instead of typing. Then iPhone listens as you say what you want to say. iPhone converts your words into text, after you tap Done.
Use dictation to search the web, take notes, write messages, and more. YOU can write and send Instagrams, tweet, or update your Facebook status, because dictation also works with third-party apps.
Say where and when you need reminding. Then tell it what you need to do.
Say what the message should say and who it’s for, and it writes and sends your text.
It gives you the forecast for anywhere you’re curious about or where you are.
Just ask your iPhone to help you, when there’s something you need to do. On iPhone, it uses almost all the built-in apps. It writes and sends e-mail messages. For anything you need to know, it searches the web.
The songs you want to hear, it plays. It shows you around and gives you directions. It wakes you up, helps you remember, schedules meetings, and places calls. Ask it what it can do — it will TELL you!
Ask it to find directions, remind you to call the dentist, or text your mom, and it figures out who you’re talking about and which apps to use. Through sources like WolframAlpha and Yelp, it finds answers from the web for you. Using Location Services, it looks up where you are, where you work, and where you live. Then, based on your current location, it gives you the best options and information.
WolframAlpha
It knows your coworkers, boss, family, and friends, from the details in your contacts. It knows exactly what you mean and what to do, so you can tell it things like “Call a taxi” or “Remind me to make a doctor appointment when I get to work” or “Text Sue I’m on my way”.
Call a Taxi :)
It’s smart enough to know what you mean, not only what you say. So when you ask “Any good burger joints around here?” It will reply “I found a number of burger restaurants near you.”
Burger Joints
Then you can say “How about spaghetti?” Siri remembers that you just asked about restaurants, so it will look for Italian restaurants in the neighborhood. Siri will question you until it finds what you’re looking for, because it is proactive.
Italian Restaurants
Talk to It as you would to a person. Say something like “Any good burger joints around here?” “Remind me to call the dentist.” “Tell my wife I’m running late.” It’s like you’re having a conversation with your iPhone. It does what you tell it to, finds the information you want, then answers you!
