Paul R Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I find her equally irritating on the Beta. But things will get better, I am sure. I hope. I think. Well, maybe. It's possible. Perhaps...

Audio_ELF Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I rarely use Siri... I feel stupid talking to my phone / tablet. On the other hand I often vent my feelings at self-service checkouts! Eloise --- ...in my opinion / experience... While I agree "Everything may matter" working out what actually affects the sound is a trickier thing. And I agree "Trust your ears" but equally don't allow them to fool you - trust them with a bit of skepticism. keep your mind open... But mind your brain doesn't fall out. Link to comment
orgel Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I found that changing Siri's voice to "British (Female)" made things go much more smoothly between Siri and me … since I'm used to being told what to do by a British female. Works especially well for turn-by-turn navigation. Even when I'm directed to the wrong place I just shrug it off. --David Listening Room: Mac mini (Roon Core) > iMac (HQP) > exaSound PlayPoint (as NAA) > exaSound e32 > W4S STP-SE > Benchmark AHB2 > Wilson Sophia Series 2 (Details) Office: Mac Pro > AudioQuest DragonFly Red > JBL LSR305 Mobile: iPhone 6S > AudioQuest DragonFly Black > JH Audio JH5 Link to comment
AudioDoctor Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Siri, sing me some Diana Krall. I use it in the car to get directions and to call ahead for reservations on the fly or order food for pickup. I am single you know. I don't really know why I would use it on my iMac...

AudioDoctor Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 That is fortunate, because it appears that you cannot. Siri, dictate an email to Bill... There would be a lot of blanked out words. At the moment I have an Amazon Alexa thing in my house, I use it very little. I think I might send it back. No electron left behind. Link to comment

AudioDoctor Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Do all of your fem-bots fight over your attention? No, not really. I thought I would like to order stuff from Amazon by voice, but I don't really order much. It really isn't very useful at all. I can do all the stuff with Siri in my hand on phone or iPad. edit: it is actually called an Amazon Echo, Alexa enabled. No electron left behind. Link to comment

It'll give you the weather and news while you're in the shower, or you can use it as a fancy alarm (my wife uses mostly the former, me mostly the latter). Depending on how connected your home is, you can control lighting, thermostat, etc. (Waiting until we move to a new home for that.)
