Will iOS6 bring the full power of Siri to the UK

When are we going to see apple bring the full power of Siri to the UK.  I really like the voice interface on my iPhone (when it works) but it is pretty useless to us here in the UK as we only have access to a stripped down version.  Also, will iOS6 see apple finally introduce English Language support (I know they claim it already exists, but anyone from the UK who has tried to use Siri, knows this to be a lie)

You've got to be realistic. Surely you know that the UK has some of the most diverse regional accents and dialects of any country in the world?
Even native English speakers have trouble understanding some regional British accents and meanings for locally used words. Remember you're talking to a computer. Even the level of understanding it offers right now is pretty amazing for a computer. Natural language recognition is incredibly hard.
It will get better with time, as Apple analyses all the accents and words spoken into Siri everyday.
You've just got to be realistic with your expectations and the current "state-of-the-art". Just a few years ago, stuff that Siri can do was only in the realm of science fiction movies. Now, you've got it in a mobile phone for a few hundred quid.

    I RECIVED AN EMAIL FROM ADOBE AS  :  As good will gesture, we can help you with the upgrade for PSE 13. We would request you to place the order for Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 as an upgrade and then we will provide you the full version serial number for the same product against the new upgrade order"  IS THIS UPGRADE FREE AND WHAT SHOULD I DO, HOW CAN I HAVE THIS UPGRADE?

    Compare with on-line stores. The full version is often cheaper than Adobe's upgrade price.
    See this example from Amazon, but check pricing in your own region.

  • This is about iPhoto:  I need to print the FULL IMAGE as shown on the screen:  the image is SQUARE (equal on four sides).  iPhoto keeps cropping it into a rectangle - THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!  How do I get what I see on the screen in print form???

  • How do I get the full path and filename of the current document?

    I'm writing a format plug-in. How do I obtain the full path and filename of the current image (document) from within my plug-in? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I actually just figured this out. For anyone else who would like to know, check out the propetizer sample code in the photoshop sdk. It makes a "filter" plug-in that just spits out all the properties of the document you could ever want to know about. The function I used to get the full path and filename of the current document is PIGetDocumentName(). I hope this helps someone eventually...

  • How to get the full path instead of just the file name, in �FileChooser� ?

    In the FileChooserDemo example :
    In the statement : log.append("Saving: " + file.getName() + "." + newline);
    �file.getName()� returns the �file name�.

    I can preview email when it arrives (I chose 5 lines) but when I then go to open up the full email, I see only the header info (To, Subject & Date); nothing in the body...it is blank.  This only started recently as before, it worked as expected. Help?

    I have two yahoo accounts and I know as they 'improved' their servers I had periodic outages. It'd work fine on my webmail on  my computer, webmail on the iPad, but not via the mail app. And it was stuff on their end. It may be a case of wait and see and you may need to eventually remove/readd the account on your iPhone.
    When the issue is on their end, unfortunately there's not much for users to do beyond wait it out or find work arounds.

    Have you tried Googling for it yet?  There are numerous third party service centers and repair shots that offer replacement parts and such for all models of iPods.

  • Pressing the Lock/Power button now adjust the volume

    When I am done using the phone (S3) I've always pressed the right bottom (Power / Lock) so that the screen will blank out.
    Now, since the 4.3 upgrade, when I push the right hand Power/Lock button, 1/2 of the time, it brings up the VOLUME control.
    This is a real pain, and I do not see a way to disable.
    Please advise, this is very fustrating.

    Thanks Ann, It's weird, It just started with the upgrade, but I will make a conscience effort to watch that. It could very well be the case, which would be an easy fix.
    Thanks for the suggestion.

  • I have the full elements 12  with subscription  the only thing I can get on it is  the Organiser, it wont open in photo editor I am only a bigginner

    as a beginner I bought the full element 12  I downloaded it but found that after putting all my photo in the Organised folder,I then went to the Photoshop editor but found it will not open????? even though I have the subscription for the full version its now asking if I want to use Photoshop will cost me another £7-49 per month 

    Does anything happen if you select a thumbnail in the Organizer and then click the Editor button on the bottom toolbar?
    Did you buy the download from Adobe or from a store?
    Do you have a desktop icon and what happens if you double click? Normally you should see both options; Organizer & Editor.
    What computer and operating system are you using?

  • Fileupload issue. Unable to get the full local directory path of the file uploaded

    Fileupload Applet Issue with Firefox 15:
    When uploading a file using our application, file that is being uploaded is hashed using a signed Applet.
    This is working fine in IE and FF version lower than FF15.
    Signed applet needs to hash file contents but it is is unable to read the full path of the uploaded file, and thus failing.
    Applet expects the full path of the file that has been uploaded
    Is there any way to get the full file path?

    Is not a new feature and not really a bug, but rather a security change that they have cleaned up code and removed the ability to use UniversalXPConnect that made it possible in older Firefox versions to get enhanced privileges.<br />
    That is no longer possible, so any code that relies on it will fail silently.<br />
    You will now require an extension to run any code that requires enhanced XPCOM permissions.

  • For my iCloud account, how do I change the "full name" that appears as the sender?

    On my iCloud IMAP email account, the account lists my "full name" as the sender.  How do I change this to a nickname?  Curently, that "full name" rectangle is grayed out so I don't know how to change what's there.  Thanks for your help!

    You need to change this on the iCloud website, http://icloud.com - go to the Mail page, click the cogwheel icon at top right and choose 'Preferences', then click 'Accounts' in the toolbar of the pane which opens.
    Select the main account and you can change the Full Name. If you have aliases you will have to change it separately for each of them.

  • When I sync'd my new iPhone5 with my Macbook Pro, I lost a lot of functionality. How do I get the full capability I saw on the new iPhone 5 before I put my old iPhone4 stuff on it?

    Brought my new iPhone 5 home but it was not compatible with iTunes.  ITunes update said it was up to date. Realized I needed to upgrade OS system to Snow Leapord. Did this, then updated iTunes, and I was able to put my back up (from iPhone4) on my new iPhone 5. As soon as I did this, I noticed numerous functions missing that were present before I sync'd it. (LIke an ability to install short cuts when texting and allowing certain numbers to call in when I have DO NOT DISTURB selected).  How can I regain the full functionality of my new iPhone 5? It only has what my iPhone 4 had on it.

    Okay, that is the latest iOS. As far as shortcuts are concerned, they should be available. Go to Settings, General, Keyboard, Shortcuts. You should find the settings and area to enter new ones there. The area to set what numbers to receive calls from in DND mode are in Settings, Notifications, Do Not Disturb, and then then Allow Calls From.
    Does this help?
