Steve Dotto here. When Apple released iOS 6 and they revealed Siri to the world, this
-
intelligent voice recognition assistant, a lot of us got really excited about the potential
-
of what Siri might represent to us. Indeed, a lot of Siri’s potential has become a reality.
-
I use Siri on a regular basis now for sending texts. I very seldom type a text in anymore.
-
I use it for email in my phone. I use it for doing searches and asking it where things
-
are. But none of those things have really changed the way that I do things. They’re
-
more convenient now because I do it with my voice instead of having to look down at the
-
phone but they haven’t really changed anything. The thing that has changed for me with Siri
-
is ideas, how I remember things. When our mind is relaxed, when we’re driving somewhere
-
or when we’re out for a walk, we remember the things that we have to do or we come up
-
with great ideas. Some of us do it in our sleep and then we write it down on a notepad
-
beside our bed. Then of course we wake up in the morning and we realize that was not
-
a good idea but typically speaking when you’re walking or driving and you come up with a
-
good idea, it is a good or something that’s important. There's no convenient way to capture
-
that. Some people make a phone call to themselves and leave a voicemail message, which I always
-
thought was kind of an awful lot of work for remembering something. Siri does a brilliant
-
job of sending reminders and it does it in such a way that it will intelligently remind
-
us when we need to know. Let me show you how this works. So I’m driving
-
around in the car and I remember I’ve got to get the dogs a haircut. I enable Siri,
-
“Remind me when I get home to call the groomers and make an appointment for Farley.” That
-
was a little long-winded. Let’s see. [Sire: Here’s your reminder for when you get home.
-
Should I create it?] That’s fantastic. Yes, you shall. I will confirm that and now Farley
-
will get his haircut. [Siri: Okay, I’ll remind you.] Thank you. Don’t interrupt
-
anymore. That is brilliant. So now because I have location services enabled
-
on my iPhone, as I pull into my driveway, Siri will let me know. Let me show you. This
-
is an important step that you have to do. You have to go in your Settings and into your
-
Privacy Settings within your iPhone and you have to enable Location Services and turn
-
them on. Then you have to select which of the applications can access Location Services.
-
Now this is an important privacy issue and also battery life issue as well. You have
-
to tell which applications can actually know where you are physically at any time. If I
-
turned that on in Siri, which I have down here, Siri will let me know when I’m pulling
-
into the driveway. As I drive onto my driveway, reminders will bing and it will go, “Remember
-
to call the groomers.” When I sit down on my computer—that will sync with my desktop
-
computer—the reminder will come up on my desktop as well. It is a spectacular way to
-
organize yourself better. You don’t have to say when I get home. We
-
can also do the same thing like, “Siri, remind me at 4 PM to go shopping.” I don’t
-
know why I do that. [Siri: Here’s a reminder for tomorrow at 4 PM.] Perfect. [Siri: Shall
-
I create it?] No, I think I’m going to pass on that because it’s really not that good
-
a message. [Siri: Okay, I’m not going to.] Thank you very much. I should point out that
-
it said, “tomorrow at 4 PM” because it’s after 4 PM on the day that I’m recording
-
this. If I had been recording it at 9 in the morning and said remind me at 4 PM, it would
-
have said, “4 PM today.” Using Siri for these sorts of internal messages, personal
-
messages, or reminders is a tremendous way of taking advantage of the technology and
-
keeping ourselves that much more efficient. I hope you found this little video useful
-
