    Siri has my son's contact info as default

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    "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...
