I have a question about Siri:
Sometimes, she misunderstands what I say, and I don't believe there is any way to "teach" her. It is still quicker to fix a mistake in a reminder Siri created, than doing the whole thing from scratch, but it would help if she knew what she got wrong, in order to learn from those mistakes.
Apple claims this on their website:
"Siri works right out of the box, without any work on your part. And the more you use Siri, the better it will understand you. It does this by learning about your accent and other characteristics of your voice. Siri uses voice recognition algorithms to categorize your voice into one of the dialects or accents it understands. As more people use Siri and it̢۪s exposed to more variations of a language, its overall recognition of dialects and accents will continue to improve, and Siri will work even better."
My question is: HOW does she supposedly learn this if there is no way to give her feedback? |
Not much different than any other woman (: |

Remember that Siri is still a beta software, I suspect it is going to be a lot better in future iterations...like in the iPhone 5... :)

Oh hush - wash your mouth out! Surely they'll provide upgrades/patches/firmware whatever. Apple would never try to force me to buy their very next phone as well, right? |

| It's taken two weeks, but Siri understands my speech much better now. Seems to be an effective learning curve. I like the 4S very much. I have three entries in challenges now from the iPhone 4S camera. Doing okay for phone camera captures. |

The best part, is that Apple might let developers use it in their apps. So you can say thing like "Read my high score on Angry Birds". And "Play music on Pandora." !!!

I can pretty much speak in my own tone and tempo and Siri gets 98%. What it misses...I correct and it them gets right the next time. Kind of strange !

I'm going to use voice commands to type everything in this post. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. Well it got that famous sentence right. After two weeks of using the voice commands on the iPhone 4S, I think it pretty much knows my voice and tones and tempo and gets pretty much everything correct. One thing I do find annoying is that it is harder to dictate what you really want to say. It's easier to write out my thoughts when I'm posting into forms.
Well there you go. It seems like it got almost everything correct. The only thing that it had trouble with was the name kenskid. It seems to want to put can skid instead of Kenskid. I just had to correct the last can skid by hand.
EDIT: Maybe Siri knows I'm getting canned tomorrow !

This made me laugh - your comment precisely reflects the problem in ways you don't realise.
Lightbulb technology was in development for several decades by many people before Edison patented his version in the US - and his version was simply a reproduction of a British lightbulb made by Joseph Swan that had been patented in the UK a year earlier. Edison and Swan operated a joint venture, but Edison's technology only really caught up with Swan's when the two men's companies merged a decade later.
However, Edison was a much better self-publicist than Swan, and today it is Edison that we remember.
