Siri does't understand me

I have the iPhone 4s and Siri does't understand my voice . I don'T have an accent. I'm in Colorado usa. I tried speaking slowly or with regular speed, with or without background noise, to no avail. The words she thinks I'm saying are random names from my address book that don't sound anything like the actual words I'm saying

Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)

Siri does not understand certain commands

When I ask Siri to "Pause" while a song is playing Siri offers me a list of people to call or a web search. Siri does understand "Play" and "Skip".

Thank you again for your reply..............I have tried the UK Male version and the USA Female version and they are both as bad as each other..............The Australian Girl was slightly better but I thought I would stick to USA Female rather than the UK Male, but I have now reverted to him again to see if it makes a difference, but it did not. I am going to take it to the Apple store and see if they can resolve the issue! I will let you know what they come up with if anything at all. Thank you again for your time and trouble.

IPhone 4s blue tooth siri can't understand me.

The blue tooth is seriously the only thing making me want to go back to Blackberry. Siri does not understand me while using blue tooth and a lot of the calls I get on my phone while in my vehicle will revert back to the phone settings and I will lose blue tooth al together. Do you think this is something that Apple will fix or am I going to be only half happy with this phone?

There does appear to be a know issue with Ford vehicles. If yours is a Ford it is likely that your will need a software upgrade to your bluetooth in your vehicle. Ford dealers can do this for you.
Hope this helps.

Siri no longer understands my voice commands.

Since the 6.01 update, Siri is now worthless. It does not understand my voice command. When using Siri to "Call Home" it will pick someone in my address book that has nothing whatsoever to do with my "home". What happened to Siri since the "update"?

Although I posted the problem initially, I figured out what was wrong just a few minutes ago. I thought Siri was automatically turned on. It is not in the new upgrade to 6.1. You need to go to Settings, General, Siri. It needs to be turned "on". Turning it "on" also fixes the problem where the microphone disappeared from both text and email creation screens. Now that it is "on" the microphone reappears in both text and email. It probably should be rewritten to tell the user to turn it on with first use but what it defaults to when not turned on takes a typical "call someone" command and messes it up. Now, all seems fine. Just be sure to go into settings to turn Siri to on.

Siri doesn't understand when using headset

My wife and I are both experiencing this problem with Siri on iPhone 5. Siri doesn't understand us when using any external headphones. She's experiencing this with a wireless Jawbone and I'm using a wired Sennheiser/Adidas. If we turn Siri off, Voice Control works just fine on both devices, and Siri works fine if using the phone by itself, so it's obviously not some sort of accent/mumbling problem or fundamental headset issue.
Asking Siri for playlist "Peak Mix" through the headphones gets me "You don't have a playlist:" "Keith Nix", "Peter Max", "Cake Mix", ... Oddly, saying exactly this through the headphones to plain ol' Voice Control (Siri disabled) works JUST FINE. Also, disconnecting the headphones and using Siri with the iPhone's mic also works JUST FINE
This also appears to have changed recently, within the last month or so (May 2013). I don't recall having these issues a few months ago. 6.1.4 issue? I've tried the "usual" fixes, disable/re-enable Siri, restart the iPhone, etc.

Siri doesn't understand 'home' if your address is not listed correctly in contacts. It can be the label for the address field is wrong or that your own address is not listed at all. Using iCloud's to store your Personal data instead of for example Google might also help. iCloud has special fields for storing information that Google using exchange sync does not provide, eg fields for storing your mothers and fathers name. Siri can learn a few things while speaking to it but it doesn't understand everything right off the bat. If you ask Siri 'call my girlfriend' but doesn't know it Siri might ask you who she is in your contact list. That doesn't work for everything though.

Siri does not interpret 'This Week' vs 'Next Week' correctly

OK this seems really mixed up to me. I seems that Siri does not correctly interpret 'This Week' versus 'Next Week' correctly.
Environment information:
Phone = iPhone 4S
Language setting = 'British English' as there is, unfortunately, no 'Australian English'
Region Format = Ireland (because that is the only one which gives desired region formats € etc. bit of an issue with iOS in that it does not have customisable localisation settings like OS X)
Voice Control = English (Australia) (because that's the best English of course - my native English )
Date the Siri tests were done = Saturday, 5th of November 2011
I would consider that if one said a day (Mon, Tues, Wed etc.) this week that it would refer to the days in the current week which is Monday 31st Oct - Sunday 6th Nov. (and no, I'm not American so I don't have the unusual idea that Sunday is the first day of the week ).
Regardless of the above, if I said to Siri on Saturday 5th November, "What's the weather like next Monday" I would expect to get back weather for Monday of the next week, that is Monday 7th of November. But this is what I get...
Huh? Why does it want to go out to the next, next week?? Which is what the 14th November (14/11/2011) would be.
So then I asked for the weather for this Monday - which I would expect to be the Monday of this week which would be Monday 31st October. But Siri gives me the result for next week (as I am still in this week and this Monday has passed).
OK then Siri what if I ask you "What's the weather like Monday next week". Uhhhh you give me next week's Monday but you call it "this Monday".
Finally, if I ask Siri what is the weather like this weekend it correctly gives me this weekend - Saturday & Sunday. So it knows I think Saturday & Sunday are the weekend. If I say "what's the weather like next weekend" it says "I can't check the weather out to 13/11/2011" which is the Sunday of the next weekend. So it seems to understand weekends, not weeks.
I've been using 'this week' and 'next week' for many years, and I don't think I'm confused - so I am calling Siri confused.
Any comments, anyone able to shed light on this?

Hi Kevin, I will do the bug report.
Hi Steve, that probably is true. The NeatVideo plug-in in AE and PPro is also the same - at least the technician in NeatVideo claims that. So, then it must be PremierePro itself reading or interpreting the .R3D files incorrectly.
Remembering that NV plug-in asks the host application for adjacent frames, I made also an experiment (in PPro) with how much is cut from the beginning of the clip with the following results:
- as told before, if the clip is not shortened from the beginning, NV gives good results
- if I shorten the clip only one or two frames, the result is not much worse
- if I shorten the clip ten frames, the results are getting worse
- if I shorten the clip couple of seconds, the results are getting even worse
- the more I shorten the clip from the beginning, the worse results I get...
The clip I've tried has steady movement (the camera moves steadily in one direction). Therefore, I guess PPro gives different time references for the frame played and the adjacent frames NeatVideo plug-in is asking for. If the clip has been shortened on the timeline only a bit, then they still work quite well as references for NV to be used. And the more the clip has been shortened on the timeline, the less the "asked frames" work as a good comparison. It seems as if NV plug-in asks frames based on the length of the original clip, and PPro gives frames counted from the beginning of the edited clip on the timeline. Hence the bad quality.

DrawString method does not understand special characters

Hi!
I would like to send a String to a printer. I have tried the drawString method but my problem is, that it does not understand special charaters. The newline character is not a problem as I can just use the split method and then print the resulting array of strings.
The big problem is the tab character (\t). Is there any way to make drawString understand this character? Or is there a more simple way to print the text?
Kind Regards,
Mikkel

Thanks for your replies. I have to admit that the problem was a completely different one, a really stupid one!
The output from the print method looked horrible to say the least (it is basically an array of numbers separated by equals amounts of space). The problem was that the font was not set to be monospaced (!) so you can imagine how the output looked ;)...
Anyway, thanks for your fast replies. I will look into that class you told about.

Yes, you can have white background with black text.

Prototype compiler does not understand wildcards ???

The example on page does not compile:
public class Wildcards {
     private static void printCollection(Collection<?> c) {
          for (Object o : c) {
               System.out.println(o);
} The error message looks like the compiler simply does not understand wildcards:
Wildcards.java:6: illegal start of type
     private static void printCollection(Collection<?> c) {
                                                       ^
Wildcards.java:13: > expected
^
2 errorsHas anybody been successful in compiling any use of wildcards?

I can compile your example with 2.2-ea compiler. No errors.

Dutch Siri doesn't understand am/pm

Since iOS 8.3 Siri also supports dutch (sadly only with a male voice )
Today I asked Siri where my 9 o'clock meeting was. In dutch "Siri, waar is de vergadering van negen uur" ("Siri, where is the 9 o'clock meeting"). Siri responded with "No meetings at 21:00"
My question was indeed ambiguous, as I didn't specify AM or PM. However, this is not customary in Dutch speech to do so. It is funny that Siri somehow did understand that 9 o'clock could mean 9 p.m. or 21:00 in european notation, but it should also be smart enough to understand that I might have meant 9 a.m.
When I asked this, it may have been 9:01 a.m. already. Perhaps Siri assumes that you will only ask it about future meetings? Because I observed already with the US-english Siri that when I ask about "the meeting", she will always show me the next meeting, not the meeting I would currently be in according to my agenda. In my company arriving a couple of minutes late for a meeting is all to usual, so mostly when I need to ask Siri about meetings, I am interested in the meeting that has already started according to the agenda.
Is there some way to teach Siri such personal preferences?

Yea man, I was quite hopeful and purchased the 4S only because of Siri but as of now It seems only a marketing glamour.
Do you think It would learn our accent ? Or is this note the ultimate reality:
Can I use Siri in any of these languages in other countries?
Yes. Siri can be enabled in any country, and you can choose to speak to it in English, French, or German. However, Siri is designed to recognize the specific accents and dialects of the supported countries listed above. Since every language has its own accents and dialects, the accuracy rate will be higher for native speakers

Fonts are handled by your operating system and installed through the respective System Control panel (Windows) or Fontbook (Mac). On Windows simply type "Fonts" in the search bar in the start menu and when you open the panel/ folder use File --> Add Font. On Mac the procedures are similar, you just need to find the Fontbook app in Applications:Utilities.

The raise to speak feature on Siri does not work

The raise to speak feature on Siri does not work anymore is there any possible fixes for this

I had the same problem (iPhone 5), but the fix was simple.
Turn off your Bluetooth. Yeah, I know this sounds crazy. Here's why.
When you use Siri with the "Raise to Speak" feature activated (Settings/General/Siri), this enables the proximity sensor that lets the iPhone know it is near your ear, activates Siri, and turns off the display.
However, if you are using a bluetooth headset (like I do), then this sensor is turned off automatically, because you will be speaking thru your bluetooth and not the iPhone to activate Siri and make calls.
To prove this, do the following test.
Make sure "Siri" is on, and "Raise to Speak" is on (Settings/General/Siri).
Turn off your Bluetooth (Settings/Bluetooth).
(TEST) Hold your phone in front of you, and with a natural motion, bring the phone to your ear (as if you are answering a call). Siri will automatically activate, assuming you want to ask it/her a question (very cool feature). And the screen will turn offautomatically.
If you have never used the "Raise to Speak" feature, this feature automatically activates Siri when you raise the phone to your ear (really a cool and helpful feature). It may take a little practice to get used to this. I struggled at first, but soon got the hang of using a natural motion to bring the phone to my ear. Starting with the phone in front of you, the phone should be "almost" parallel to the ground when it gets to your ear. It may take several practice tries to get it, but you will get it, and you will be hooked on this neat little feature.
Ok, with this done, this proves your proximity sensor is funtioning properly.
Now, turn on your Bluetooth (Settings/Bluetooth).
And repeat the same (TEST) above.
This time, Siri should not activate, and the screen should not go off. Why? This is because your voice communications with callers (and Siri), are now going thru your Bluetooth, and not the phone handset. Because of this, their is no need for the proximity sensor, so it is automatically turned off (when Bluetooth is on).
I can only speak for me and my situation, and what worked for me. However, their may be other issues regarding the proximity sensor separate of this that I am not aware of.
I hope this helps you.
Man I love the "Raise to Speak" feature, you will too.
God Bless You All.
