Hi Saqib.I use Siri on a daily basis to do many things on my IPhone. I love in particular the system wide dictation, meaning I can dictate in to documents in pages for instance, create notes or dictate text messages. In fact, so good is it that in theory, the time it takes me to dictate and send a message is akin to having a real-time telephone conversation with whom ever it is I am talking to. You can also set alarms which is something I do often, it beats hands down having to go in to the clock application and set them yourself manually, something you had to do up until this came along. As with any voice dictation application, you need to speak clearly and have good diction, try not to slur your words or mumble and dictate in whole sentences, that's especially the case when dictating emails or text messages.
All the best, Ibrahim.-----Original Message----- From: Saqib Hussain

It's a waste of the extra investment in which I had made. For example I asked Siri to call my wife and it replied I don't understand or something to that effect. I understand Ibrahim is using it effectively and I would be facenated to know how he is using Siri to a good effect. I was in a text composition and wanted to dictate my message as I thought I could benefit from Siri when it came to texting and once again the dam thing hung on me.

I heard someone mention that the Bing search app has OCR text recognition. And it's a free app. No idea how accessible or good it is though. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Martin Sent: 24 November 2011 09:08 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Iphone 4S Hello Sakeb Just press and hold the home button at the bottom of the I phone screen until you hear the tone that tells you Siri is active then ask it a question or give it a command and you are good to go.

I took the plunge and bought an Iphone 4S. Could someone tell me how I can use Siri on it. The micro sim won't be activated until tomorrow but the device is running off-line. I have made a connection to my wireless router and have downloaded the backed up apps from I-cloud. I'm impressed with the sound quality with voice over running with the Daniel voice. I would also like to know if there are any text scanning apps so I can read documents and letters. -- MSN Saqib500@xxxxxxxxxxx ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq http://www.bbc.co.uk/ This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.
