    Sometimes you ask Siri the worst things and it responds with unexpectedly sweet results. For example, ask it to "Talk dirty to me." Go on, we'll wait. Isn't that adorable? However, our very favorite safe-for-work result comes from the distinctly unsafe-for-work request to "Show me pictures of booby's," which I've screenshotted on your behalf and attached to this post. What are the most unexpectedly nice Siri back-and-forths you've found? Share some in the comments.

  • Talking to Siri: Remote-controlling your Mac by voice with Siri Listener

    In this episode of "Stupid Siri Tricks," I make my iOS devices control a remote Mac. How remote? Well, it should work anywhere on the planet (or off, if you happen to be on the International Space Station) with Wi-Fi or a cellular data connection. If you can take a note with Siri, you can make your Mac do your bidding from wherever you may be. I was inspired to do this after watching a video by Niles Mitchell in which he uses a 512K Mac with the original Mac Speak application to issue a command to Siri, which then set a chain of events into motion resulting in some files being moved from that ancient Mac to Dropbox. It occurred to me that he was using the Notes application and iCloud to accomplish all of this. Essentially, you tell Siri to "Write a note", after which you dictate a note and it is synced to all of your devices through iCloud. The lightbulb went on, so I wrote a quick little application in AppleScript to wait for certain notes to appear and then perform actions on the Mac. One of the more useful things I could think of was the ability to shut down my Mac or at least put it to sleep if I forgot to do so before going on a trip, so I set up my application to look for "Shut down" or "Go to sleep" notes to perform either of those actions. Perhaps I want to do a remote restart? All I have to do is tell Siri "Restart my mac" and it happens. I also built in the ability to see what apps are currently running on my Mac and return them to my iPhone or iPad in another note. The possibilities are endless... To use this little "Siri Listener" app, just copy the code below and paste it into a blank AppleScript Editor page. Save the code in case you want to add your own customizations at some point, and then Export as an Application, making sure that you check the boxes for "Stay open after run handler" and "Run-only". To make sure your Siri Listener is always available for your commands, make sure you set it to run at startup. Make sure that you know how to use Siri to take notes. Just press the home button on your favorite iOS device, wait for the Siri prompt, and then say "Write a note". Siri responds with some sort of question about what you want the note to say, after which you can speak the appropriate command. Note that I wasn't thinking clearly when I wrote my initial script -- I actually have to say "What apps are running question mark" to get the note in the proper format for Siri Listener to act upon. I'm probably going to change it to something more generic like "List my mac apps" to avoid the punctuation. I was really wishing that the Photo Booth app was scriptable, as it would be possible to have the Mac's camera take a picture and then attach it to a Note for you to view. I can also see that the Siri Listener idea could be the perfect tool for playing pranks on unsuspecting co-workers, but of course you wouldn't do that... Have fun! And if you come up with some fun and/or productive uses for the Siri Listener, let me know in the comments. Want more Siri tips? There's a book for that.

  • Talking to Siri: Creating reminders without times

    This morning, beloved leader Victor wondered how he could create reminders using Siri without having those reminders tied to a specific time. He loves Siri's easy voice integration but didn't want to schedule these items. He just wanted to add them to his to-do list. Possible? You bet. The secret lies in the way you phrase your request. If you ask Siri to "remind" you, it adds a scheduled item. Saying "remind" is always tied to time, because Siri has to actually nag you directly. [Much like asking a spouse to "remind me to pick up the dry cleaning" who then immediately responds "OK; don't forget to pick up the dry cleaning!", a reminder without a future target time is not that useful. –Ed.] Instead, say "remember." Try saying "Remember to pick up the milk" rather than "Remind me to pick up the milk." Siri adds that item to the Reminders app without a time trigger. As our commenters point out, there are other approaches as well. When Siri asks about the time for a reminder, say "no time," "don't remind me" or "never." You can also say "Add 'Pick up the milk' to my [name of to-do list]," and that will trigger a time-free task. As Victor noted, "Arggh! I was saying it wrong, all this time." Want more Siri tips? There's a book for that.

  • Why Siri makes sense for OS X

    Recently, Google added voice-enhanced search to its iOS search app. At that time, a lot of people started comparing Siri search results with Google, missing a major point about what Siri is and what it does. There's a reason Apple calls Siri a "virtual assistant." It helps you add reminders, create appointments and book tables as well as search for movie reviews and look up sports scores. The people who know and love Siri on iOS use it as a digital concierge. "Wake me at 7:15 tomorrow" and "Remind me to buy milk when I get to Albertsons" are features that go way beyond simple searches. To be fair, Google offers similar capabilities on Android but these are not available in the iOS search app, and were not really part of the discussions when that app launched. Concierge features create ways to interact with your computer that bypass keyboard and mouse. They integrate with the underlying OS to activate user-requested functionality. A concierge transforms your intent into system actions, not just producing strings of text (as with dictation) or web information (as with search). In OS X Mountain Lion, dictation arrived on the desktop along with reminders, iCloud-powered notes and other iOS-inspired features. What didn't arrive was Siri itself. Although all the trappings were there, the connection between voice and action didn't make the cut. It takes a reasonably major engineering effort to connect a voice-based assistant to OS features. Why doesn't Mountain Lion doesn't currently support Siri? Apple might have run out of time, felt it wasn't a priority, wanted to test it first among a committed user base before moving it to new platforms, wasn't convinced desktop users should be speaking to their computers, or had a million other reasons why. Siri has had a pretty bad rap as a "failed feature" among pundits. To see examples, do a Google search for "Siri and disappointment". You wouldn't know that, though, from Apple's recent advertising campaigns, which put it out front and center as a shiny selling point for iPhones. As a committed user of the service, I personally love it. I regularly use Siri while cooking ("Start a timer for 5 minutes"), for managing my kids ("Add yellow pencils to my school supply list"), for texting ("Message Steve I need those chapter review files 10 minutes ago"), and more. I'd like to see its capabilities expand even further. For me, Siri is fast and efficient. I get stuff done quickly with my voice without having to step through a lot of intermediate effort. That's a big reason I'd like to see it jump to OS X. Already, I use dictation a lot more than I ever expected to -- and I'm a really fast typist, so it's not just about overcoming mechanical issues. Adding voice has helped me multitask a lot better. I can keep doing whatever I'm in the middle of, switch over to IRC for example, and dictate a response to an ongoing chat conversation and hop back. Adding Siri would make that even better. I'd be able to shoot off messages, look up phone numbers and more, all from a central interface that doesn't require any significant task switching. How can that not be a win for users? Many of the ways you use Siri on the iPhone and iOS device family transfer directly to the Mac. "Siri, Google a recipe for lamb and garlic." "Siri, where can I get my bicycle fixed?" "Siri, is Prometheus any good?" Just because you're on a desktop doesn't mean Siri cannot help. Will Siri show up in OS X 10.9? I'd certainly like it to and I don't see many technological issues standing in the way. Should it be in the next iteration of OS X? Absolutely.

    Last year, Steve Sande and I put together a "What can you say to Siri" post while working on "Talking to Siri: Learning the Language of Apple's Intelligent Assistant".

  • iOS 6: Talking to Siri about Religion

    I had no intention of broaching philosophy with Siri, as earlier today I was trying to get it to recognize "Hail State!", which BulldogsRadio tweeted would connect to University of Georgia Radio. That didn't sound right to me, but I thought a built-in easter egg might lead to sports rankings. It did not. Instead, I found myself drawn into a theology discussion with my iPhone. Apparently, Apple engineers have found that people ask their cell phones a lot of intriguing questions, and provided tactful responses. Screenshots of my conversation follow below. I hope you get a chuckle. %Gallery-166346% Not sure what else you can say to Siri? There's a post to help with that!

    Psst. In case you didn't notice? In iOS 6, Siri is a hoot. Apple has programmed in even more silly, sassy, delightful responses and it's up to all of us to find the Easter Eggs. Asking Siri about itself is one of the more common ways to get a chuckle -- inquire about how old it is, what it's wearing, its birthday, its gender, its favorite color, and whether it has a family. Try pitching it some of the older standard comic routines like, "Who's on first?" Ask it how it feels about you. Most of all, be persistent. Over time, Apple's programmers have added lots of alternate messages for commonly-asked questions and statements. Take "Open the pod bay doors," for example. Siri has quite the repertoire of answers to the classic command from Clarke & Kubrick's 2001. Or how about asking what the meaning of life is, or saying "Klaatu barada nikto." Siri's versatility ensures that for many of these silly questions and statements, you'll be rewarded by random and multiple responses. Siri support is expanded in iOS 6 from only the iPhone 4S to the iPad (current version), plus the new iPhone 5 and the 5th-gen iPod touch. What hilarious answers from Siri have you discovered?

    For many TUAW readers, this weekend represents a first encounter with Siri, Apple's virtual personal assistant. Siri is waiting to help you create reminders, send texts, look up information and lots more. Siri replaces the dance of your fingers on glass with conversations. You talk to your device -- and your device talks right back at you. After setting up your preferences, it's time to give Siri a spin. You can access Siri in several ways: Press and hold the Home button for a couple of seconds. Raise your iPhone to your ear. (Not available on iPod touch or iPad -- they don't have proximity sensors) Engage it from your wired (iPhone earbud-style) or wireless (Bluetooth) headset by squeezing or pressing the control button. Siri also works with many car kits. A small blue speaker icon appears in Siri's display when you connect through Bluetooth. Chimes tell you when Siri is listening to you. A higher-pitched "listening" chime (a C♯4 for the musically inclined) lets you know Siri's ready for you to speak. As you speak, the microphone icon acts as a level meter. The rise and fall of the purple bar reflects your speech pattern. To finish talking, you can either pause or tap the microphone button. Siri plays a high-pitched "done listening" chime (a higher A♭4). A purple circle animates around the microphone button as Siri contacts Apple's home servers for speech interpretation. If Siri does not hear any input, it stops listening and plays a lower-pitched "cancellation" chime (an lower A♭3). You can also cancel the interaction by tapping the microphone button during the "contact Apple" phase with the circling purple pulse. Try saying "Hello" to Siri. Ask about the weather. "Will it be cold tonight?" "Should I take an umbrella?" Find out how your favorite teams are doing. "Will the Braves make it to the championships?" or "How is Manchester United doing?" Or just let Siri find you a place to eat dinner. "I'm hungry." Then it's time to have fun. A lot of warmth, humor and whimsy went into Siri's database. Ask Siri if he/she is real. Ask it to open the pod bay doors. Say "OMG" or "LOL". Ask Siri when its birthday is. Tell it, "Take me to your leader." Siri isn't great at telling jokes or singing you a song, but you can try asking. Not sure what else you can say to Siri? There's a post to help with that!

    Last year, Steve Sande and I put together a "What can you say to Siri" post that proved to be hugely popular. We'd been working on "Talking to Siri: Learning the Language of Apple's Intelligent Assistant", which we initially self-pubbed as an e-book, and then later moved to QUE publishing. This year, we followed up that post with an iOS 6 version of "What can you say to Siri", which we published on Friday. A number of people pinged me asking if I wouldn't mind offering some internationalized versions of the list. In that spirit, here are lists for German, Japanese, and French.

  • What can you say to Siri in iOS 6?

    Last year, Steve Sande and I put together a "What can you say to Siri" post that proved to be hugely popular. We'd been working on "Talking to Siri: Learning the Language of Apple's Intelligent Assistant", which we initially self-pubbed as an e-book, and then later moved to QUE publishing. We're now working on the second edition of "Talking to Siri" and thought we'd update our original post for iOS 6. A lot of people are now using Siri and Siri-related features. Siri is available on the iPhone 4S, the iPhone 5, the new third generation iPad, and the fifth generation iPod touch. Dictation-only support also appears in OS X Mountain Lion. There's a lot of Siri going around. As we work on our update, we thought we'd share the following Apple-supplied examples for using Siri. It's only a partial list, but it gives a great flavor of what Siri can do. Standout new features include the sports, movies and restaurant categories recently announced by Apple. But there's a lot more too. Siri now supports arbitrary relationships. You can say "Megan Lavey-Heaton is my favorite comics author" and Siri will add that relationship. You can launch applications by saying "Launch Angry Birds" and post to Twitter and Facebook by voice. Siri also now lets you dismiss her (or him) by voice. Say "Goodbye Siri" and Siri will close the interaction window. The examples that follow below only scratch the surface of what you can do with Siri. We're having a ton of fun discovering all Siri's new improved capabilities. Keep your eyes peeled over the next few months as Steve and I share new favorite tricks and tips as we work on our update.
