I’ve found a way to be at peace with the current state of #Siri.
In tech terms, it’s old. 12 years is a long time in technology. When you’re old, it’s often the case that you develop a hearing impairment.
Due to the condition that causes my #blindness, I also have a hearing impairment. It’s tough when I can tell people are getting frustrated because I ask them to repeat themselves.
So, the golden rule applies here. Hearing impaired virtual assistants have every right to do the job to the best of their ability. So even though I am repeating myself to Siri more and more of the time now, I do so willingly in the name of #inclusion.
See? It’s all in the way you think about things.

@JonathanMosen i wish more people knew how to repeat themselves.

like, say the same sentence again, but on the third attempt, say it with different words and then I'll have enough to extrapolate the sentence.

people bounce off some syllables so fast in some sentences, just changing the order around means they finally say all the syllables and I can work it out.

@JonathanMosen

"Trog edd yinhg"

me: what?

"TROG EDs ying"

me: again please?

"the dog is wet and needs drying"

oh

They had said: "The dog needs drying" but so slurred and fast I had no chance.
