My phone. I'm starting to catch on.

[Sundrop]

Yeah, she's not witty like Siri.
I asked, 'Do you love me?' and she brought up the song video.

I'm listening to that song now......today is KISS day in honor of my brother.

Here is Siri

Grandma and I were watching a TV show last night, because sometimes we do that, and a Google commercial came on, with people talking to and getting answers from their phone like it was their own personal droid... I mean, robot.

I snorted. "I call BS. I've got the Google app. It doesn't do that. It's just a shortcut to Google."

Grandma mumbled noncomittalliy. Just to show her, I picked up the phone, hit the app, and said, "How do you say 'Good morning' in Korean?" And sneered at the anticipated nonresponse.

No, the phone gave me "Good morning" in Korean. I was gobsmacked. I said, "How do you say 'Good morning' in German?" I got the "Guten morgan" answer. Well... wow. I finally said, "What's the score in the World Series game?" It shot back nearly instantly, "The score is 3 to 3 in the bottom of the sixth."

Oh, man. I had a new toy. Last night at bedtime, I said, "Set the alarm for 7 a.m. tomorrow," and it said, "The alarm is set for 7:00 a.m. tomorrow," and indeed it was. This morning, I was driving Granddaughter to school and said, "Tell me the quickest way to [school]." It said, "You will get to school in about 12 minutes in moderate traffic." I said, "Thank you," and it said, "You're welcome." Granddaughter was a little freaked out.

And I haven't given up. I'm sending texts and emails simply by telling the phone to do that for me. As of today, Grandma is threatening to take it away, but I'm guarding the phone like I'm a jealous lover. (Actually, I kinda am.)

Technology. Okay, I'll catch up. In the meantime, wow.

I love asking Google......it kinda annoys my daughter, but it sure is fun!

My daughter has Siri.....and she likes to try to stump the app. She'll turn it on and say "Hey Cortana" or "Okay Google".....Siri replies "haha, that's funny Cara"

I wonder why you all are getting different answers to the what's my name question?

That is kinda spooky, really. Maybe my husband's phone really does have the hots for him.

Here is Siri

Spoiler

I just asked my phone, "What do you look like?" And it gave me a link to a video of Siri being asked what she looks like!

You know, I probably have to start working soon.

 

[cat in a bag]

Ok, ok,it is "SAY my name," not What's my name. Try that, everyone! I just tried on my phone and got the same answer as hubby.

You guys have friendlier phones. I got a link to a video to a Destiny's Child song.

I'm starting to wonder if I will work today, period.

I tried it with the tap to talk button on the google page, and got the link to Destiny's Child.

Do you have the SVoice feature? To access that on my phone (Samsung 5 active) you double tap the middle button on your phone, at the bottom. The one that has the little house looking icon on it. That is where we are getting fun answers from, and it does all the same things the tap to talk button does.

Hm. I think I got rid of that icon as being a duplicate function of the "home" button at the bottom of my phone.

Ah, well. Time to work.

The home button on the bottom is what brings up the S Voice thing.

So, when you have a break, try it!

 

[Out of Order]

My phone won't give me an answer until I drop a dime.......

My phone doesn't understand me half the time. It must be the southern drawl.
That, or I need to upgrade the the newest Galaxy phone.

I'll try to keep that in mind!

 

[skimom2]

My pleasure! I was the same way - like, "You mean this has been on my phone this whole time?!?!"



For all I know, it's the voice of Siri, but no, they don't call it Siri. All these tech companies are nothing if not incestuous.



Standard Android phone. I have a Samsung smartphone - but it's an Android platform.


So while I was pulling away from the parking spot, while I should not be texting, I simply spoke to the phone. "Send a text to Grandma."

The phone said, "What do you want me to say?"

I said, "I'm on my way. Do we have food out for supper, or should I pick something up?"

The phone said, "Here is your text," and repeated it to me. "Do you want me to send?"

I said, "Yes," and it said, "Message sent."



Cue in, "A Whole New World."

I'm going to have to try that! I have a Galaxy 4, and I KNOW I'm not using all the features. Right now, I hand the phone to a kid when I need to send a text while driving. It would be much easier to just say it!

Could be. I have an Irish friend who says Siri is useless on her iPhone--doesn't understand her accent AT ALL.

I mean the physical button off of the screen, not a "home" icon on the screen. But I did try punching the physical home button twice, and it just stayed home.

I don't get WiFi when I drive, so it's useless.
