iPhone 4S

Post by Karen Pearson »

James (husband not Robinson) has just got his new iPhone 4S. It comes with a voice recognition search feature (that probably has a proper name). Anyway, we've been playing with it and it's pretty shite at recognising exactly what you say. For example it constantly thinks 'Rory McIlroy' is 'Rory Michael Roy' which doesn't really return the right search results!

Well, we got fed up of trying sensible things so, in a very juvenile kind of way, we just started saying swear words into it to see what it would come up with. So,I thought I'd show you what it came up with and see if you could work out what we actually said.

Is that so? -

Some of the other amusing responses we got were -
'Bastard' - 'You're making me blush.'
'Bollocks' - 'James, Your language!'.
'Shit' - 'No need for profanity.'

Some Siri stuff seems to be quite clever. (plenty of sites such as STSS)

On the other hand there was a big furore a couple weeks ago with claims that it was strictly pro-life because Siri refused to point anyone to an abortion clinic.
Apple rejected the claims though and now it does help with abortions, figuratively speaking.
