Jim DI've ranted about this before, but it is really annoying me today. Blind people who think they can do everything with Siri and don't take the time or energy needed to learn Voiceover. I just had someone ask me how they can download books on BARD using Siri. Really? Learn to use the basic Voiceover gestures and this task is really straight forward. I understand some people have other dextarity issues and can't perform the gestures, but most of these blinks are just lazy and just want to yell at there phone like it is there slave. Come on, take the time to get you some knowledge and stop being lazy!
@BaldPackerFan Siri is not lazy. I first thought it was, but to be honest, I use it quite a lot. I find the iPhone 12's keyboard a bit of an accident prone nightmare sometimes, even if autocorrect is on. So I dictate big messages and siri I use just for opening apps if I can't find it, or just to send a brief message. Siri actually saves my mum's life as she's dyslexic, same as dictation. Learning VOiceOver she finds extremely difficult as she's going blind. She also has just been diagnosed with ADHD, which explains her lack of impatience. So dictation and siri do help her a lot.
@BaldPackerFan agreed. I never use siri, it never does what I want it to do half the time anyway. VO exists for a good reason. kindly learn to use it, it will empower you greatly and will be way less frustrating. signed, me who did not dictate this reply.
@BaldPackerFan I agree with this so very, very much! I rarely use Siri for anything, and when I do use it, I'm perfectly happy to press the side button. In my experience, using voiceover for most things is far more efficient. I frequently use dictation to speed up typing, though. So many of my co-workers use Siri for absolutely everything; can't count how many times a day I hear people yelling out "hey Siri."
