    Siri Voice Quality TERRIBLE

    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...

    Siri sounds worse in macOS than on iOS

    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...

    Siri sounds more human like

    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 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...

    Maps Voice Navigation Cuts off in Car

    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...

    How To Teach Siri "The Correct Word"

    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...

    Let's talk Siri

    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...

    Siri thinks I am my own mother. Eeeek!

    Hi there! Every time I ask Siri to call my mother (or "mom"), she tries to call ME instead (insert Sigmond Freud joke here). I've removed and re-added the relationship on my contact card. I've confirmed that my card has been selected as "My Info" in Siri's preferences. I've restarted and...

    Chances of Apple making a Siri modification based on feedback?

    First of all I am a mere mortal NOT Barbra Steisand. Now on that note what are the chances of Apple responding to some feedback regarding Siri behaviour and implementing my suggestion. What I am after is a way for Siri to play ONLY downloaded music when asked. On iOS 9 I could set "Show Only...

    Looks like apps can setup a call feature?

    I thought I had the contact number for my bank in my phone, so I asked Siri to call USAA and she responded with this: Looks like apps can enable a call feature?

    More evidence that "Dark Mode" is coming

    Not sure if this is common knowledge, but more evidence that "Dark Mode" is on it's way. If you ask Siri "What is the status of Dark Mode", her reply is "I'm afraid I don't know the answer to that question. But you can find out in Settings". ios 10 beta 5

    Siri missing words on 6S dictation

    Every time I dictate to Siri using "Hey Siri" or by holding down the home button, Siri either misses the first word or two or comes up with a blank box completely. This is despite the iPhone actually picking up exactly what I've said (Look at attached screenshots). I tried different phrases...

    iPhone Siri on iPhone 4/iPod 4G

    Hello guys. I was just wondering if there is any possible way to get Siri on my iPhone 4 (CDMA) in 2016? I've been searching everywhere and have been watching lots of YouTube videos on how to get Siri on my iPhone but none of them worked. So is there any repo out there or package I can...

    "Watch random 'Big Bang theory' episode" - Siri command?

    I'm thinking of buying an Apple TV 4. Either a reason not to- or an argument to actually buy the ATV4 would be Siri. But I was really wondering if Siri is capable of letting you view a random episode of a specific show by command? I've got a few seasons of The Big Bang Theory on my local NAS and...

    CarPlay changing my usage of Siri and Maps

    I've been using iPhones for years and two things I have not used much at all are Siri and Apple Maps. I tried both initially but then quickly abandoned them. I installed a CarPlay head unit a few weeks back and since then I've been using both a lot more. I've discovered the coolness of asking...

    Siri family relationships

    I am having an odd problem with Siri and established family relationships. I told Siri that the contact "Mom" is my mom and that "Dad" is my dad, and she remembers that. I used to be able to say "Call my mom" or "tell my mom..." And that would work. However, as of a week or so ago, when I tell...

    Hey Siri Won't Set Up On iPhone 6s

    Hi, I can't set up Hey Siri on my iPhone 6s running iOS 9.3.2. I've shut off Siri, turned it on, hard reset my iPhone, taken my case off, and made sure my microphone is clear. What happens is I click set up, say "Hey Siri!" For the first prompt, and it makes the little bar go up and down showing...

    So Apple didn't release an Alexa competitor

    Despite what some armchair analysts predicted, Apple didn't announce an Alexa/Google Home competitor. Apple instead focused in launching SiriKit, which expands what Siri can do to existing devices. Alexa can expand, but Google Now can't, like Cortana which also doesn't offer this. The most...

    iOS 10 Hey Siri - multiple devices

    I am not sure if this was already but it seems that since I installed iOS 10 on my iPhone 6s and iPad Air 2 Siri is ware both devices are in proximity of each other. Prior to iOS 10 if I say "Hey Siri" with both devices in the same room they would both respond (was quite humorous sometimes and...
