So what does Dag Kittlaus do these days? Is he involved with Apple? Wouldn't that be interesting information, too?

‘Siri’ would be pronounced the same as 尻 shiri (‘buttocks’) or 私利 shiri (‘personal profit’) in Japanese. It will be interesting to see what name Apple pick for this product when they eventually localise it for the Japanese market.
Actually, that raises the question of how it’s supposed to be pronounced in English. Is it supposed to be from ‘yes, sir-ee!’? Or would you pronounce it more like an Italian or Spanish word of that spelling? This should have some bearing on the decision for a good localisation. — Chameleon 05:59, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
So far I have heard it called "siri" with approximate Italian/Spanish pronunciationion the US far more than with the pronunciation indicated in the article, which weakens the tonic vowel to schwa. 198.228.197.158 ( talk) 14:06, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

i'm searching for the people who provided the voices of the siris....has anybody smthg on the female/US voice?
Although there has been plenty of press about "Jon Briggs is Daniel, the UK male voice of Siri", it's misleading to emphasize the link with Scansoft and Nuance. Siri uses the same synthetic voices in iOS that were already available in VoiceOver, which trace their history back to Mac OS X VoiceOver. Apple licensed the "Daniel" voice from Nuance ( http://www.tuaw.com/2011/07/24/os-x-lion-introduces-new-multilingual-high-quality-text-to-spe/ and http://www.nextup.com/nuance.html), but it is coincidence that Nuance is both the speech recognition and speech generation parts of Siri. When the iPhone 4S was released with Siri, there was some press about why Apple had chosen a male voice in the UK as opposed to a female voice in the US (e.g. http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/the-womens-blog-with-jane-martinson/2011/oct/21/siri-apple-prejudice-behind-digital-voices), but this difference had existed for iOS VoiceOver before the 4S and Siri were released. 204.28.120.180 ( talk) 19:03, 28 March 2012 (UTC)
Although the cited article is about Siri and includes a quote from the National Federation of the Blind, the quote is out of context in that article. The NFB has commented on how VoiceOver makes the iPhone accessible ( http://www.nfb.org/Images/nfb/Publications/bm/bm11/bm1109/bm110906.htm, http://www.nfb.org/accessible-home-showcase#Cell), and even given Apple an award ( http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/national-federation-of-the-blind-awards-50000-98059544.html), but has not mentioned Siri, despite a blind user being featured in a TV advertisement for Siri. The quote therefore seems to be included in an article about Siri only to back up Apple's advertising. 204.28.120.180 ( talk) 19:28, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

It would be most useful if someone in the know could explain in the article how Siri works. My particular question is, how is the work-load of voice recognition split between the handset and the cloud servers? Is it voice-to-text on the handset then text over TCP/IP, or is it VOIP then interpretation on the servers, or some mix? Other technical details would be most welcome.

Articles on various programs include lists of easter eggs. Is it appropriate to at least give some examples from Siri? I'm thinking about the responses to "Open the pod bay doors", "Tell me a joke" or "Tell me a story". The Yowser ( talk) 13:40, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
I see no one here knows the origin of the name, but it is an alternate (usually feminine) variation of India's word "sri." I put the opening to this article under Other current usage at Sri#Software.
As I live in a rather remote region, I first encountered this usage of the name here: Renaud, Myriam (Summer 2012 5.15.12).

The result of the move request was: move. This is borderline a technical request, as the reversion of the move after the June 2013 discussion was undiscussed. If Bjerrebæk has a problem with that move, the correct recourse was a move review or a new move request.

Hi,
Talking about structure of the content, I'm just wondering why the two sections about integration were separated? I'm talking about "iOS integration" and "vehicle integration". It just puzzled me as to why we have "research and development" in between the two. I wonder, if we have the two integration sections together, would the article read more smoothly? Just a suggestion.
Thanks Izza157 ( talk) 00:12, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
Can anyone add to the article to explain how Siri actually works? In particular, I would like to know how much voice recognition is performed on the end-user device and how much is performed in the cloud. Any other information on the processes employed would also be useful - the present article barely mentions the technology and reads rather more like an advertisement than an explanation.

Sources: I think it is a good article, it is structured properly with headings and subheadings. There is coverage on many of the subjects and the article seemed neutral in tone. Not for or aganist Siri just explaining the software. The sources seemed legit, I am not sure what other sources on this subject could have been used. However, When I clicked on each of the links they seemed to just bring me to wikipedia and not to an outside source. This does not seem appropriate and I a little biased to only cited businesses, or article sites or people and just to link it to wiki. There should be outside sources that validate the information said other wise it appears that they author wrote what they wanted and then cited different things to make it seem legit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Phd Reese ( talk • contribs) 19:56, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

Thoughts? -- Steven Fisher ( talk) 19:31, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
Siri is now in cars, this has been confirmed at the WWDC, however I am neither informed nor knowledgeable enough to write about it myself Dmartin969 ( talk) 03:21, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
It would be most useful if someone in the know could explain in the article how Siri works. My particular question is, how is the work-load of voice recognition split between the handset and the cloud servers? Is it voice-to-text on the handset then text over TCP/IP, or is it VOIP then interpretation on the servers, or some mix? Other technical details would be most welcome.

Articles on various programs include lists of easter eggs. Is it appropriate to at least give some examples from Siri? I'm thinking about the responses to "Open the pod bay doors", "Tell me a joke" or "Tell me a story". The Yowser ( talk) 13:40, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
I see no one here knows the origin of the name, but it is an alternate (usually feminine) variation of India's word "sri." I put the opening to this article under Other current usage at Sri#Software.
As I live in a rather remote region, I first encountered this usage of the name here: Renaud, Myriam (Summer 2012 5.15.12).
"Getting over dualism". UU World magazine. Vol.XXVI No.2 (Summer 2012).
Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations. Archived from
the original on 2012-08-14. Retrieved August 14, 2012. When I asked Siri, the iPhone's new virtual personal assistant, if she believed in God, she punted by answering: 'I believe in the separation of spirit and silicon.'

Does Siri have a setting to choose between male and female voice? Maybe it is just male in UK, and only female in US? How about other countries? If it does, please mention in the article. If not, please mention too. Naki ( talk) 09:40, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

– Apple's product is surely the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC on the disambiguation list, attracting over 184,000 readers in the last three months. I'll also add that this software is the only article on the list to go by just plain "Siri", as several of the other pages use the term as part of a full, longer name.

more likely than all the other topics combined. We're talking places and notable people here. Google hits are not the answer to everything! -- Trevj ( talk) 23:21, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
"Eyes Free" mode was announced in 2012 (WWDC 2012, AFAIR?), and it's future usage as part of iOS in the Car (I just created that page!) announced WWDC 2013, by Eddy Cue. I just created the IITC page, but someone who knows more about it needs to include a new section on "Vehicle usage" here, for sure! Jimthing ( talk) 09:03, 27 June 2013 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: move. This is borderline a technical request, as the reversion of the move after the June 2013 discussion was undiscussed. If Bjerrebæk has a problem with that move, the correct recourse was a move review or a new move request. However, with an even stronger consensus for this move demonstrated below, either course of action would now be a waste of the community's time. -- tariqabjotu 18:07, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

I was wondering if perhaps a section might be added discussing depictions of Siri in popular culture. Its prominent appearance and use as a plot device in an episode of The Big Bang Theory immediately comes to mind. 74.134.145.218 ( talk) 05:39, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
Hi,
Talking about structure of the content, I'm just wondering why the two sections about integration were separated? I'm talking about "iOS integration" and "vehicle integration". It just puzzled me as to why we have "research and development" in between the two. I wonder, if we have the two integration sections together, would the article read more smoothly? Just a suggestion.

Can anyone add to the article to explain how Siri actually works? In particular, I would like to know how much voice recognition is performed on the end-user device and how much is performed in the cloud. Any other information on the processes employed would also be useful - the present article barely mentions the technology and reads rather more like an advertisement than an explanation. Thanks if you can improve it! p.r.newman ( talk) 12:55, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Sources: I think it is a good article, it is structured properly with headings and subheadings. There is coverage on many of the subjects and the article seemed neutral in tone. Not for or aganist Siri just explaining the software. The sources seemed legit, I am not sure what other sources on this subject could have been used. However, When I clicked on each of the links they seemed to just bring me to wikipedia and not to an outside source. This does not seem appropriate and I a little biased to only cited businesses, or article sites or people and just to link it to wiki. There should be outside sources that validate the information said other wise it appears that they author wrote what they wanted and then cited different things to make it seem legit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Phd Reese ( talk • contribs) 19:56, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
Still nothing on the origin of the name? Someone asked in 2012. I guess the SRI (from the company name) is 75% of it; but why not Suri, or Seeri... etc? MBG02 ( talk) 13:44, 17 September 2018 (UTC)

Are News sources and sources created by Apple a credible source for a product created by Apple themselves, look into different sources. Mention of iPods are unnecessary because most iPods don't have Siri. The article needs to be more neutral than negative. Jazmine Anthony ( talk) 19:40, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
