    Y u so dum, Siri? (Sierra 10.12.4)

    I thought Siri was supposed to get smarter with time... Seriously, more people care about cricket than bodybuilding (I can believe that) and boxing? Let's see how it does with music. Siri, when does Asgeir perform in Amsterdam? Me: "This is not how you pronounce Asgeir" Siri: "Is...

    Where are Siri accent & gender options gone

    Just turned on Siri for first time. Don't seem to have the accent and gender options the internet tells me should be there. I have no Siri voice options. I have language options which will change the accent but doesn't have a gender option. I'm on iOS10.2.1. What gives and how do I fix it to...

    Siri and battery usage on iPhone

    Has anyone noticed an unexplained increase in battery use by Siri when you have an Apple Watch paired to your iPhone (regardless of whether you're actually using Siri)? I've been having issues with Siri and battery use and the only way I've discovered to "fix" it (that is, no reported battery...

    Siri and Voicemail Transcription -- Battery drain?

    Anyone encountered issues relating to voicemail transcription going a little crazy and running down battery via "Siri" in battery usage? I watched the activity monitor using Xcode when I received voicemail, and "com.apple.siri.embeddedspeech" jumped to the top of CPU usage and went haywire for...

    Siri not working on iPhone 7 through holding button on lightning headphones

    Hey all, Siri is not being activated on the iPhone 7 when the lightning headphone button is being held. This used to happen on previous iPhones just fine with the AUX plug. What is going on here? Is this another software negligence issue on apple's behalf? Everything is being done right - just...

    Dictation on Mac vs SIRI

    Hey, just want to get some opinions: Is it just me or is dictation for Mac working worse than SIRI on IOS? When dictating a text message on your iPhone using Siri, it generally works better than when dictating something on your mac, (which is not SIRI by the way) I also have problems at...

    Microphone Recommendations for Siri? Apple Plaintalk Mic perhaps?

    I have a 2010 cMP and I just installed sierra. I'd like to try Siri out, but I need a microphone to do it. I am not sure how good of a mic I need. Part of me would like to use the old PlainTalk mic that apple used to ship with their computers decades ago, but that would take some...

    Siri can barely hear me...and I've replaced sensor cable 3x's

    Needing help with a peculiar Siri issue; I'm usually able to diagnose or fix about anything myself and this is stumping me. iPhone se, current iOS, macOS, and iTunes. All backed up, etc. Month ago, screen breaks in my pocket. I was in a warehouse moving 20lb items around, crawling on the...

    iPhone 7 Plus - Massive Siri Battery Drain

    Hello everyone, My iPhone 7 Plus battery life was great until this week started. Now I can barely make it a day and it's all because of more than 30% battery usage by Siri. I have turned it completely off (which shouldn't be a good solution as I love Hey Siri on my AW which is also connected)...

    How exactly is Siri improving?

    Is it just me, or is Siri truly getting worse with regards to understanding simple commands? I am not referring to Siri understanding my words, because that is not an issue. I'm talking about her loss of ability to do things she could before, or even forgetting what she was talking about. I...

    Siri vs Alexa Smart Home (Longish read)

    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...

    Hey Siri "You'll need to unlock your iPhone first"

    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...

    Facebook now in Siri (SiriKit) but what do we get?

    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...

    Perhaps a Sierra upgrade reason: Frank, adult conversation with Siri?

    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/

    Siri photos search doesn't work as expected

    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...

    Language issue with Sierra and Siri

    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.
