"Finally having a voice assistant app confirms the suspicion I had when Siri arrived on iOS: I don't really have much of a use case for this."
I definitely can relate to this. I only have three real use cases for Siri these days - setting an alarm, starting a timer and setting a reminder for myself. All three work pretty well with Siri.
I just don't use it for much else. I don't use Siri's dictation features because Siri only shines at dictation when you know exactly what you're going to say, word for word - for "casual dictation", it falls apart really quickly. I can't think of anything else that my first reaction is "let's ask Siri".
Cortana feels like a really expensive "me too" feature.
- r00fus 13y agoYou don't use the "take me (home|target location)" direction feature? I use that all the time. Other very useful Siri phrases - "Find a {cuisine} restaurant near my house" to setup takeout on my commute home - or "call my {relation}". Proper nouns esp. restaurant names (e.g. "Sent sovi") are still pretty tough to get understood no matter what voice engine I use.
