Rihana might “love the way you lie”, but your Siri will love the way you talk! Give no voice commands; rather, talk to your phone the way you talk to other human listeners. Ah! Isn’t it amazing? Siri will listen to your requests, questions and queries, and also responds to each one of them. This is none other than new iPhone i.e. iPhone 4S that releases today (14 October, 2011). And it is ready to roar in the market, powered by its latest Apple OS dubbed as iOS 5, which includes the Siri Assistant.
Siri Assistant is a standout feature in the iPhone 4S that could be one of the reasons of the havoc in pre-order success of iPhone 4S. Why? This is simply because this feature has made the new iPhone more responsive than ever, by responding to common human language. Whether you want to know if you need to use an umbrella, want to read aloud a message, fix an appointment, remind you to make a call or reply to an e-mail, ask for destinations – your Siri Assistant will understand and respond to it all. Thank God! Finally there will be a voice-based control that will not only take simple commands, rather it will listen to your common queries as well. How? Let us tell you actually how this Siri Assistant works, alongwith some examples.
You: “Meet Pete for coffee at 4 on Friday”
Siri: “Ok, I rescheduled the meeting with Pete Sullivan on Friday.”
You: “Any good Italian restaurants around Manhattan.”
Siri: “I found a number of Italian restaurants near Manhattan.”
Likewise, you can tell your Siri Assistant to “play Goodbye by Serenade”, “call a taxi”, “remind me to call the babysitter”, etc., just like you are having a conversation with your Smartphone. The Siri uses Location Services to trace your current location, your workplace, and where you live to offer you the best options when you ask for location-based information or directions. Siri will scan people in your contacts to know your spouse, children, friends, colleagues, etc., to be able to reschedule an appointment with someone, call a person, remind you to send message or e-mails to people, etc. Like a real assistant, Siri can also write your mail, take dictation, type and send texts, etc. Siri can access all major built-in apps that it can search the web to give you answers, play songs, wake you up and remind you things. Hence, with the Siri Assistant in iPhone 4S, managing life and errands will be a breeze and forgetting things will become a thing of the past as Siri will remember and remind you of all.
