Dear Apple: Go big with Siri and Nuance in iOS 5
- r00fus 15y agoI had always envisioned it would be easy for Apple, even given current iOS4 voice recognition to play well with apps. An "Open $app, do $command" would be amazing. The simple "return call" or "redial" phone related functions would address some of the AT&T frustration I have today. But going the extra step and doing actual NLP on top of the voice recognition would be incredible.
- cageface 15y agoIf it was seamless I agree it would be a big step forward. If it was as flaky and unreliable as the other voice rec implementations I've tried I'd be disabling it as fast as possible. Voice recognition is one of those things that has to be 99% right to be usable at all, IMO.
- r00fus 15y agoMy experience with the (limited) voice capabilities in iOS3+ were quite solid... when I was wearing decent headphones or using the built-in. With bluetooth headphones (which I love) in a strong wind, voice recognition was impossible. This is part and parcel of why Apple often eschews the component-based model (preferring integrated): bad components can make the whole experience miserable.
- kylec 15y agoIt's a bit late to be giving Apple advice on iOS 5, considering it's going to be announced in 2 days.
- alexbilbie 15y agoI don't want to talk to my phone, if anything I want my phone to talk more to me e.g. Text to speech, who's calling me, some notifications
