In a world that quickly heads towards digitization and artificial intelligence, sound aid has become an essential part of our daily life.
Whether you use it to send messages, play music, or get directions, Siri’s voice assistant (Siri) can fromAppleTo be a powerful tool if its capabilities are optimally exploited.
Regardless of the faults and mistakes of “Siri”, there are ways to improve his performance, as you can correct some errors, modify questions, recite him in the sound, change the sound itself, and adjust specific options.
On this topic, we review a set of tips and tricks that enhance Siri’s performance and make it more intelligent, speed and response to your needs.
“Siri” training on your voice
If the voice assistant fails to understand what you say, then this means that you need to train him to know your voice and words better.
When you turn off the option to “speak and write to Siri” and restart it, the device “iPhone“You are asked to train the voice assistant on your voice by repeating a number of words.
At this stage, you must make sure that each word is clearly pronounced and speaks in the normal tone of your voice so that the voice assistant can understand you more clearly.
Teaching “Siri” how to pronounce names
Siri sometimes faces difficulty pronouncing names, especially the unusual names. In the past, you could teach him how to pronounce the name properly once it was pronounced, but Apple removed this feature.
However, you can still correct the speaker by opening the contacts application and determining the name of the person with the difficult name and clicking on the “modification” option, and clicking on the link “Add a field”.
At this stage, select the field of pronouncing the first name or family name as you want to correct, and write the letters that indicate how the name is pronounced loudly.
In order to test this, I ask “Siri” to pronounce the person’s name or open the person’s contact card and say: “Siri, utter this name”, where the voice assistant should use the pronunciation that I added.
Change the method of “Siri” response
You can direct “Siri” to respond to you verbally, visually, or both by moving to the settings, and then clicking on “Siri responses.”
And you can choose to “prefer silent responses” to keep “Siri” silent unless you are driving the car or using headphones, or “preferring spoken responses” to force “Siri” to respond verbally even if the silent situation is active, or “automatically” to allow the voice assistant to determine the time of response.
And if you want to see your question and answer it on your screen, do the option to “always show Siri’s comments” to see Siri’s responses, and do “always show words” to see your question or comment.
Correct “Siri” errors
If you set your device to view your questions on the screen, you can correct them if there is a spelling error or any other error. And if you send a request to “Siri”, and the text does not match what you said, you can click on your question via the screen, adjust it, correct the error and re -send it. In this case, Siri responds to the correct request.
Writing to “Siri”
As you are having difficulty talking to “Siri”, you can write your request, although the writing method is not the same as the way to speak.
And you can activate the option to “write to Siri” by moving to the settings, and then clicking “Talking and writing to Siri.”
When you need to communicate with “Siri”, you can press the side button in the iPhone or a double -click on the iPhone to write your order.
Submit successive requests
With the 17th or newer version of the iOS, you can conduct a mutual conversation with “Siri” without the need to repeat the entire question or demand.
For example, you can say: “Sir, how is the weather in Doha?”, And after the voice assistant answers, you can say: “What about Riyadh?”
In this case, the voice assistant realizes that you repeat the same previous question and answers a correct answer.
Changing the language of “Siri” or its voice
While changing the language of “Siri” or its voice will not increase its accuracy or reliability, it may provide a familiar response.
In order to modify the language, go to the settings, and then choose the language. You can choose from Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Spanish and others. Even with the English language, you can choose a specific tone, such as Canadian, Irish, or British.
And you can modify the sound based on the language you have identified, where you can choose from several different languages.
Using “Siri” with external applications
The audio assistant works with external applications, which means that you can see suggestions from an application, display it within the results when searching via “Siri”, and even searching for content within the application through “Siri”.
In order to direct and guide “Siri”, you can inform him using a specific external entity application to answer a question or implement an application.
To check this, go to the settings, then choose “Siri”, click on the applications below the screen, clicking on the name of the application you want to use with “Siri” and make sure to activate the different options keys.
Run access options
“Apple” offers a variety of accessories associated with the “Siri” audio assistant, such as “Siri’s Stopping”, which seizes the waiting period of “Siri” to stop speaking. As for the speaking speed rate, you can adjust the scroll to determine the speed or slow “Siri” in speaking.
You can activate the “permanent listening” option to make sure to listen “Siri” even if your phone is directed down or covered. When activating the option “Use Siri for the provinces”, you must say “Siri” or “Hi Siri” to boycott the response.
And you can activate the option to “listen to atypical speech” to improve Siri’s ability to recognize speech. In the event that the option to announce the notifications on the loudspeaker is turned on, “Siri” makes notifications via the iPhone amplifier.
It allows you to activate the option of “ending the call” saying “Siri, closed” to end a phone or “FaceTime” call. It also allows you to activate the option to “show applications behind Siri” to keep your current app visible even when using “Siri”.
Use “Siri” shortcuts
Sometimes, the best way to interact with “Serie” is through an automatic shortcut. Within the “shortcuts” application, there are groups of ready -made shortcuts. You can choose an acronym you like and add it to your library.
After that, click on the Application icon in the app to view any shortcuts that you added, as well as the pre -defined shortcuts that you can prepare.
You can try any shortcut by clicking on it, and you can also create your customized shortcuts, as well as “Siri” guidance to run a specific shortcut outside the application of shortcuts.
In conclusion, the intelligence of “Siri” depends on the user’s intelligence to explore his potential, the more interacting with him, the more accurate and effective. With the continuous development of artificial intelligence techniques, “Siri” may become more than just an assistant, but rather a digital companion who understands the needs before even expressing them.
