The Apple iPhone 4S had finally hit the market on October 4, 2011. The phone had created a lot of hype before its release and was expected to have some cutting edge technology. When one finally laid their hands o the device, the phone did not disappoint in terms of its features.


The high end processor, the high definition camera, the retina display, the crisp graphics along with many others actually made the wait worthwhile. Considering all the features, the new phone may not be a result of the out of the box thinking and may look like an upgrade of its predecessor in terms of hardware but there is one thing that surely overpowers everything- SIRI.

 

Siri understands what you say.

SIRI is a voice controlled application that serves as a personal assistant to you. The application is actually the first step by the company towards its mission to offer a human-computer interface design. One may be thinking that how voice command can be innovative. They have known to be residing in your smart phones for years. However, SIRI is different. With SIRI one does not have to speak or remember some preset commands. Instead, one can talk to their iPhone just like they to talk to another person in the room. Yes, you read it correctly. One can interact with the application in their natural language.

 
SIRI offers an excellent interface that can present you with all the desired information simply by asking the application. It basically makes your device hands free. You can now send messages, make phone calls to people, and schedule various tasks using your voice. You can use SIRI to complete your tasks by talking the way you normally do. SIRI had a come a long way since the time when it was first introduced. Back then, it was an inaccurate and inefficient application. Now when it’s integrated with the iOS 5, one would agree that it has never been so perfect. One may find the application responding n a funny manner in some situation but then it accounts for the reason that company is still calling it the beta version. Apart from that the application works absolutely smooth.

 
Siri not only understands but knows what you mean

SIRI is capable enough to analyze and understand the context of your speech. For example if you ask SIRI “Where can I find coffee here”, it will analyze itself that here refers to the current location and will look up for all the nearby coffee shops. One can also ask questions to it.

 


Managing tasks are no more a problem

SIRI also helps you to manage your daily tasks. It reminds you about the tasks at the required time. You can ask it to remind you about things like call the doctor on the way to office and be assured that it will.

 
Information is just a question away

Whenever you ask SIRI for information it uses your active internet connection and go through sources like Yelp and Wolfram Alpha and all the built-in apps on iPhone 4S to offer you the best possible solutions. You can use SIRI to get your hands on almost any information. You can in fact talk to the application about itself. It is quite interesting and some of its answers are absolutely hilarious.


Dictation is no more a problem

One of the most difficult times one faces is when they have to dictate something to the other person or type it themselves. SIRI frees you from this hassle as well. Now, there is no need to sit in front of the system and type monotonously for hours and get bored. Instead you can talk to your phone. One of the greatest advantages it offers is that one can now dictate on the go too.

Whenever, you want to dictate something, just press the microphone icon on your keyboard. Then you can dictate your documents and the phone notes it all. When you are done, press the done button and your iPhone will convert your speech into text. The best part is that the dictation feature can also be used to work on third party applications. So now, one can update their Facebook status and tweet very easily.
