siri

I guess this is the appropriate section - just thought i'd give fellow Mac users a little write up of my experiences between the two mainly for smart home control. Alexa only came out mid October in the UK and we're still missing some features however so far i've not been overly impressed. I...

Hello. I've been noticing some glitches (?) with Siri after updating to macOS Sierra. For instance, the weather interface doesn't show the icons and numbers properly, as seen in the screenshot below: It should look like this: As you can see, the interface is missing some icons and some...

Updated to iOS 10.1 on my iPhone. Now Siri will not open any of my apps from the sleep state. With passcode set to require after 4 hours, and phone passcode unlocked, it does not work. In iOS 9.X I could say "Hey Siri, open maps" and the phone would wake up and maps would open. (assuming that...

I noticed yesterday, along with Uber, Facebook was an app now able to integrate with Siri on my phone. Unlike with uber where it’s obvious what Siri integration can do, e.g. Siri book an uber to ….” what can Facebook bring to me that Siri didn’t do already? Siri could post to facbook prior to...

I was amused at this article, and it occurred to me that would be one benefit of getting Siri on the desktop... ;) http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/10/27/lonely-men-are-increasingly-turning-to-virtual-assistants-for-lo/

I've noticed a disconnect between Siri's ability to search my on-phone photos and the "search box" ability. I have people's faces identified in my iphone's Photos (ios 10). So, I have multiple pics of each of my kids, identified, plus a bunch of other objects that apparently are searchable...

Hi guys you know there is this microphone sign on top of my screen when you move the cursor up? It shows a line across this microphone icon which means that the microphone is not turned on? How can I turn it on so that it doesn't show a line across the microphone? I am trying to use voice...

I am a swedish bloke living in Sweden however I still prefer my operating systems in English (its easier to find information on Google as one example), so I have installed Sierra with English language. But if I try to speak with Siri in Swedish, which I prefer, we do not come to terms on how to...

Hi everyone, I'm having issues with Siri on my MacBook Pro. She is working fine in every aspect except she is getting the dates of people's birthdays wrong. When I ask her when someone's birthday is she always replies with a date that is one day earlier, despite the information on the contact...

Hi, just installed Sierra on the Macbook Pro. When I set it up, I remember it asking "What do you want Siri to call you?" or something like that, and I typed in "James". Now, after a few days, I decided to use Siri to ask about the weather, and it replied "It's 72 degrees, Toby." Toby is my kids...

Hi, today I found to reenter my iTunes account Password in apple TV and see My Siri greyed out... Try to change country to supported Siri and stay greyed out... Tried restore and set to siri supported country and ask me to enable Siri but detect my country its Argentina and say me Siri is...

MacOS Sierra: Belkin Thunderbolt express dock F4U055cwAPL connected with Thunderbolt cable to MacbookPro 15 Late 2013: Siri does not work. There is no recognizing Audio from Siri. If you disconnect Thunderbolt cable from Macbook, siri works perfect. I posted it on Twitter to Belkin Germany. A...

Hi, Was wondering if it is possible to disable/enable Siri from terminal command.

Just updated a couple hours ago and can't seem to figure out why my Siri isn't speaking with the same quality sound of English as it does on my iPhone. It sounds like the iPhone 4 Siri or something. Tried to download higher quality voice in the Accessibility -> Dictation settings, but that...

I had posted a thread over in the iOS 10 forum about how Siri sounds more human like. I just installed macOS Sierra and Siri sounds awful! I wonder why they're using the old robotic Siri voice in macOS while on iOS10, she sounds so human like. Anybody else noticing this? Ask Siri to laugh on...

I've noticed that Siri got more human like articulation and verbal traits after the pubic release of iOS10. I had the gold master but after iOS 10 went live, Apple must have updated Siri to its next generation voice synthesis. For example, she sometimes laughs or giggles. She did it before but...

Siri contact suggestions based on location are gone in IOS 10? In iOS 9 when swiping left there were contacts to call based on my location, for exemple when i was at work, only the people i call there would show up... i can't activate or find this in iOS 10, only apps based on location. apple...

Since updating to iOS 10, Siri is now cut off when I use Apple Maps through my car's Bluetooth (not CarPlay, BTW). She'll go to say, for example, "Start at Smith Street," but only get through "Start at" and then stop. If I'm playing music or a podcast, it will pause for the full length of what...

After the Apple event, I downloaded Sierra Beta GM on an external SSD disk. When using Siri, "Launch Mailplane" it kept launching "Mail". I don't use Mail. Tried talking clearly, Siri just kept launching Mail. Found this: Can you teach Siri (or voice texting) how to say a word...

As my wife says, she's a B**ch. LoL. OK, that's one user's take. I thought Siri was stupid at first. Who talks to their phone? Now I think Siri, in concept, is indispensable for the modern smartphone. My phone isn't just a device, it is a smart partner. And talking to my phone is far and away...
