You always want to believe that things have a soul. Someday they will learn to speak and understand people, but someone is already doing it well, for example, the voice assistant Siri. Everyone notes that she is much more human than her competitors, which was once again confirmed by Nico Lange, a journalist for the Thought Catalog.
He recently visited his family in Cincinnati, where he met with his father. He bought a new iPad, and it was terribly interesting for him to look at this miracle of technology - after all, Niko had never used it before. As someone not very familiar with the latest technology, he was very surprised by Siri's voice assistant. Lange asked him some tricky and even philosophical questions and this is what came of it.

Conversation with Siri online is both entertainment and a full-fledged function. Initially, Apple created a speech analyzer that would execute commands. The Siri chat bot implements the functions of a full-fledged voice-controlled assistant. You can talk with Siri in both Russian and English, the language of communication depends on the version of the software and OS. The program is a kind of interlocutor. Chat on selected topics or, if you have two iPhones, watch Siri talk to Siri.
How to communicate with Siri
Hold down the "Home" button and the bot mode will turn on. Now give commands or talk about things of interest. If this button is not there, press the side on the body or say "hello Siri." If the device has at least iOS 8.3 beta 2, talk to the chatbot in Russian. If the OS is older, memorize the English commands for the alarm clock, messenger and phone book.
If Siri is not enabled by default or when the device is first started, then you can enable it like this:
- go to the setup menu;
- select setting;
- open Siri;
- rearrange the sliders to enable;
- if necessary, enable the "Hi, Siri" function and set the Russian language.
Can i talk to a Siri bot online?
Siri needs network access to work properly. In fact, you communicate with the chatbot online, but there is no separate program or website for this. Siri works only on Apple brand devices and in the native OS. The options offered on the sites - bots imitating the program, do not belong to Siri in any way, except that the interface design is copied with accuracy. The bots replacing Siri do not match in the commands they execute, are inferior in vocabulary and create a minimal approximation to the program. The skin of the interface is graphically copied, but this is the only similarity. By installing this type of software, the user runs the risk of getting in the bundle a malicious virus disguised as a keygen-krak. Limit yourself to Siri on an iPhone and do not install imitations, no matter how praised.
Video how Siri talks to Siri
I wonder how two voice assistants will behave when they collide with each other. This question was asked by users. The check showed that communication boils down to the phrases "I don't quite understand" and "this is what I was able to find on the Internet upon request." There is no full-fledged dialogue, we see a barely meaningful and clinging to tags and key words "tossing" with phrases.
The function " Hey Siri!"Calling a voice assistant is one of the relatively few features that was impudently spied on by the guys from a competing platform (" Ok, Google "). In this article, we will tell you on what Apple devices it works, why you need it and how to turn it on by voice and make some personalization settings. Instructions for beginners!
Thanks to the voice assistant Siri, almost every owner of iPhone (4s and older), iPad (third generation and older, as well as all devices of the iPad mini line), iPod touch 5g and Apple Watch can voice calls, set alarms, write messages and even dictate texts. You can read a more detailed list of useful commands.
And if earlier it was required to hold down the Home button to activate the function, now it is enough to say the phrase “Hey Siri!” (the feature appeared on iOS 9 and also works on later firmware versions). True, there are some nuances here.
On which iPhones and iPads does Siri turn on by voice work?
Calling Siri with your voice will work on supported devices as long as they are connected to a power source. The exception was top-end gadgets such as iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone XS, iPhone XR, iPhone X, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone SE and iPad Pro. which are almost always ready upon request "Hey Siri!" respond and execute a voice command.
1 ... Open up Settings → The main → Siri.
2 ... Activate the function Listen to "Hey Siri!" by switching the corresponding toggle switch to the active position.
3 ... The assistant will prompt you to press the button " Tune»And repeat some simple expressions to help you memorize your voice, to further reduce the chances of others accidentally activating Siri on your device.
Note to the owners of top-end devices in which you can activate Siri without connecting the gadget to a power source - the battery life will certainly be reduced.
Why "Hey Siri!" enabled but not working
Yes, the whole point is that if the device is in the user's pocket or is located on a horizontal surface with the display down, then the protection against false positives is activated. We have already written about this in detail at.
The Siri function is available in Russian starting with iOS 8.3 and higher. It is a personal assistant that can be controlled by voice. It was positioned as the artificial intelligence of your IPhone, with which you can communicate and learn various information. In fact, this innovation also caused a lot of criticism and ridicule, especially incidents often happened due to the peculiarities of the Russian language.
You can fully configure and use Siri on the iPhone 6 and above. It works with some limitations on older phones, as well as on the iPad and iPod Touch.
Setting up Siri
Before you start using Siri, you need to enable and configure it:
- Go to Settings on your iPhone and press Siri.
- Set all sliders to on (Siri, On Lock Screen, Allow: Hey Siri).
- Next, the procedure for setting up the program will start. Follow the instructions on the screen. You will need to clearly pronounce the proposed phrases several times in order for the program to work correctly in the future.
Siri is available on iPhone 4s and later, iPad Pro, iPad Air and later, and iPod Touch 5th generation and later. However, the voice call function fully works only on iPhone 6 and above, on older devices it only works if they are connected to a charger. Voice calling is not supported on iPad, iPad2, and iPad mini.
Ways to contact the assistant:
- Say “Hey Siri” clearly (if supported).
- Press and hold the Home button, options for questions will appear on the screen. Or you can ask your own. Depending on the model, you can just say, or you may need to click on the microphone icon on the screen every time. If Siri is ready to accept commands, then on the screen you will see a colored horizontal strip representing a sound wave.
- If you have a headset with a remote control, press and hold the center button or call button until you hear a beep. Then you can speak the commands. For AirPods, just double-tap the surface of one of the earbuds.
- For technology-enabled vehicles: Press and hold the voice command button on the steering wheel, or, if the vehicle has a touchscreen, press and hold Home. In order to improve the perception in a noisy environment, the program will speak the commands for confirmation. Click on the sound wave if you want to show that you have finished speaking.
You can also customize the language, audio feedback and call announcements. For some countries, a choice of voice is available, but for the Russian language only female has been developed so far. To enable call announcements, go to "Settings", then "Phone", "Call announcements" and select the desired option.
Siri integrates into many apps. You can enable or disable this in the appropriate paragraphs. For example, if you slide the screen to the right, you will see "Siri Suggestions" and a bar with icons under the usual search bar. These are the most necessary, in her opinion, programs, but this does not always coincide with your opinion. To disable these suggestions, do the following:
- Go to "Settings", "General".
- Select Spotlight Search.
- Move the Siri Suggestions slider to Disable.
- You can also see if you need Spotlight Suggestions when searching.
- Here you can also configure which applications will not be displayed in the results.
If you do not need not only suggestions, but also the electronic assistant itself, then you can turn it off completely by moving the slider in the "Settings" menu - Siri. Removing audio feedback means turning off Siri in silent mode. By default, this option is activated together with the assistant itself.
Using Siri
The most interesting thing is what opportunities the electronic assistant offers. The developers have endowed the app with wit and a friendly communication style. It is difficult to say whether they use it for convenience or, rather, for entertainment and uplifting.
Here are the basic commands that Siri can use to help you control your phone or tablet:
These are just examples of commands showing areas of opportunity. Pronounce the commands clearly, ask clarifications. Siri often asks for confirmation if she understood the command correctly. And she can also be asked general and tricky questions. For fun, try asking the following:
- Siri, are you smart?
- What's wrong with Apple?
- Who Made the Best Computer?
- I want to sleep.
- Which came first, an egg or a chicken?
- How old are you?
- Tell a joke.
- Tell me a story.
- Ok Google.
Ask tricky questions several times and she will have a variety of answers. This is an interesting feature available on Apple devices. Allows you not only to control your phone with your voice, but also to have some fun and cheer up.
