I find it helpful for quickly sending tweets or messages, opening apps, getting the definitions or spellings of words, and looking for files/pictures. For instance, I needed to find a particular picture I'd taken the previous day, so simply told Siri to "show pictures I took yesterday". Yes, it's easier to do things on a Mac than an iPhone with a keyboard, but it's often easier with Siri, even on the Mac. I might not have Messages open, or I might be in the middle of something and want to dash off a reply as soon as I can. Or I might be writing something, and just need to check a definition before typing a word; Siri is far faster than typing the word, looking it up, and finding the web content holding the definitions. The latter is more thorough, but all I need is a quick check. Finally, Siri is great for quickly playing music, especially for Apple Music subscribers. Even if you don't use that service, Siri can play any song, artist, or playlist in your library, just like on iOS. Don't want to deal with iTunes? Just tell Siri to play a song, or that you love or don't like the current song, or any similar commands. > On Sep 24, 2016, at 19:09, Kawal Gucukoglu <kgli...@icloud.com> wrote: > > Hi. > > I don't know why Siri is on the Mac as I find it very weird being able to > tell Siri what to do as I'm use to it on the I phone but not so on the Mac. > You see, I'm use to typing on the Mac and dictating on my I phone. > > So out of interest, what will people use Siri for on the Mac?
