Siri for Dummies
By Marc Saltzman
The name is pretty self-explanatory
but if you don’t know who or what Siri is then here is a breakdown:
Siri is a built in assistant for
iPhone 4s with voice recognition capabilities that can do anything and everything
you could want from a phone.
Siri and I have a love/hate relationship;
I often refer to her in terms not appropriate for my blog. I am not the most
tech savvy person in town so Siri would often pop up without my knowing how in
the world I did it. So when this book came up for review I jumped at the
chance, I am definitely one of those people who need it. I whipped out my handy
dandy iphone gave it the evil eye for good measure and got to work. This is the first time I have read a “for
Dummies” book even though there are, according to wikipedia, over 2,300 titles.
I absolutely loved the way Marc Saltzman broke everything down step by step,
from calling someone to emailing more than one contact at a time, he covers
everything you could possibly want to know. At first I stumbled a few times and
it took me a few tries to get the commands down, to no fault of Marc’s I have a
southern accent and Siri apparently hates the way I speak, in the end I made it
through and loved what I am now able to accomplish is such a short time with
the help of this guide. Definitely worth the read if you are like me and Siri
brings out the “squinty eyes of death.”
