New Kevin Drum gets an iPhone 4S
http://motherjones.c...4-november-2011-0

Oh — and Siri. It doesn't work quite as well as the commercials lead you to believe, does it? This was my first conversation with Siri:

Call Marian.
I don't see Mariam in your address book.
Call Marian.
I don't see Mariott in your address book.
Call Marian.
I don't see Mary in your address book.
Call Marian.
I don't see Mariana in your address book.
Call Marian.
Which Marian? Marian Drum Work or Marian Drum Cell?
Marian Drum Work.
I don't see Mary and Drum Work in your address book.

So even on the fifth try, when it finally recognized the word "Marian" and there were only two options for my response, it still translated my sounds literally instead of figuring out which address book entry they were closest too. And later, when I told it to "Call Marc," it told me that it couldn't find "Mark" in my address book. So this is going to take some work. (On the bright side, when I asked it for the weather in San Francisco, it popped right up.)


Good to know that monkeys with laser beams are a few days off yet.

Cheers,
Scott.

"work" would have worked.

And later, when I told it to "Call Marc," it told me that it couldn't find "Mark" in my address book.

I've run into this with "Call Bryan" and it not being able to find "Brian".

The other odd one I've run into is "Call Joe". There's 5 in my contact list, but it only gives me a choice of 2 of them to pick from. Other names return more than 2, so it's not hitting a max.
New It needs an interative process.
One where the name matching fails so it asks the text-to-speech to pick a different interpretation (or even variant spellings). It also needs to learn when matches seemed best and remember those when it hears the same sounds.
