OK,
I don't know how helpful these are to iPhone users but I have a Siri
story too. I'm not making this up.
First, I sometimes have trouble with Siri commands because Voice Over will be
talking and Siri thinks this is part of what I'm asking. The other day, at
work no less, this happened. My laughter brought in co workers and I was
embarrassed to tell them what happened.
I asked some innocent conversion question but Voice over was talking. Siri
spoke bak the question as"No sex tonight?" Then while I was still recovering
from that surprise question she answered. "No, probably not."
Only my questioning co workers presence in my doorway got me to stop laughing
and wonder how I was going to explain myself out of this mess.
In a effort to make this thread list worthy, I have a tip. I learned listening
to the Vision Australia podcasts that once Siri is activated a two finger
double tap will act like tapping the Siri button. I find this reduces errors
including embarrassing ones.
