The computer then makes a guess based on its transcription of the word "the", which of course has NOTHING to do with what we're actually calling about. There is no guidance given as to what to say, so we humans make the mistake of actually taking to the computer like a person and summarizing exactly what we're calling about. You can say anything from "problems with my widget" to "I have a billing question"". The first menu says "tell me what you're calling about. In many cases, the call starts with an uninterruptible intro statement that's slightly longer than some of the works of Shakespeare, to the point where the caller just puts the phone down, does their laundry, and comes back later. If the voice recognition system is anything like the ones I've dealt with, allow me to explain EXACTLY the issues that occur with such systems. What if I said "i need to find a cheap glockenspiel" or "I just lost my wallet" or how about "i need to break up with
This sort of feature is incredibly interesting, but how well does it really work for things that might not be already known by a normal person? I mean, it is pretty simple to know to say "find the nearest locksmith" if you are locked out I highly doubt *anyone* responsible for locking themselves and their belongings up does not know that a locksmith is the go-to resource for such things. The various wisecracks that Siri can deliver back were also part of Apple's design to give it some attitude. This is unlike even established products like Dragon dictate it stops becoming LCARS from Star Trek and turns into JARVIS from Iron Man. It's not about knowledge or access to data, but about your device recognizing what you mean. Iris will soon be able to do google lookups of math equations or tell me the capital of a country, but Siri goes far more than that. I can tell Siri "I locked myself out of my apartment" and it will show me a list of nearby locksmiths to choose from via Google Maps. Siri's advantage isn't the speech recognition or ties to Wolfram Alpha, but that it handles natural language (as TFA is referring to). But Siri has a foot in the door and it's trusting that it will win your confidence over time to do basic info gathering.'" 'At the moment, most of us still rely on Google for getting at the info we want. 'Siri is a new interface for customers wanting to get information,' writes Eric Jackson. 'There's no company out there they can go buy.' Morgenthaler's comments echo the recent article in Forbes Magazine, ' Why Siri Is a Google Killer' that says that Apple's biggest advantage over any other voice application out there today is the massive data Siri will collect in the next 2 years - all being stored in Apple's massive North Carolina data center - that will allow Siri to get better and better.

Siri has cracked the code.' The threshold, from mere speech recognition to natural language input and understanding, is one that Google cannot cross by replicating the technology or making an acquisition adds Morgenthaler. 'Apple has crossed a threshold people now expect that you should be able to expect to speak ordinary English - and be understood. 'What Siri has done is changed people's expectations about what's possible,' says Morgenthaler. Hugh Pickens writes "Gary Morgenthaler, a recognized expert in artificial intelligence and a Siri board member, says that Apple now has at least a two-year advantage over Google in the war for best smartphone platform.
