Siri’s mysterious blue underline, and what it means to you
- 6ren 15y agoSo why does it underline the word "the" when that wasn't the word that was misinterpreted? Of course, Siri doesn't know what you intended, so it can't know which word it got wrong... but it doesn't seem that Siri would have thought that the word "the" was in doubt... tangent/hypothesis: Does it just highlight some word in a sentence, to give you a hook? Perhaps the first word of an noun-phrase that Siri wasn't sure of? Assuming Siri uses grammatical structure to try to constrain the possible ways to recognize particular words in speech, perhaps it really isn't sure which word was wrong? (though in the noun-phrase case, I would think that underlining the entire phrase would make more sense to the user).
