Autocorrect doesn't like how I type, Siri doesn't like how I talk. I think my iPhone hates me

Well, is it a white iPhone? Because that would explain it.

Those things will never be reliable. Ever.

The voice recognition doesn't work well regardless of the accent.

I've seen it work a lot for non-accented people.

Really? I don't have an accent and it always fucks something up. I'll say something like, "hi, how are you?" And somehow it thinks I've said "LOL "fun time in the mouth"S" Obviously that's exaggerated but you get when I'm saying.

Yeah but you can speak slower and enunciate and it's physically possible for you to get it to understand you. We //physically// can't pronounce the things to make it understand us!

That's true. I see your point.

You ask Siri how it is doing?

I meant like for texting type purposes. Like, instead of typing it out, I can just say what I want to say and it types out the message for me.

There's no such thing as non-accented people.

What kind of accent do you have OP?

by Anonymous 11 years ago

It's like a triple mix between American British and Russian, since some words I can pronounce American-ly and some I only learnt/heard in British English and some I mess up and pronounce with my native pronunciation. It sucks. (Thankfully if I don't speak much no one notices)

Wow so diverse, and don't worry accents are interesting. Most people would like to hear how you ended up with a triple accent.

Siri actully sends everything to a database in California, where the Apple engineers listen to the accents to help Siri understand them better.
