Siri is becoming one of the essential functions for many users, especially after the release of the MacOS version of Sierra. In fact, the improvement of this type of application does not stop growing, to make our day to day easier.
By ignorance, we may use only part of Siri features. Means that Siri can provide us with much more information but we do not know that it is prepared for it. Therefore, we present the Hey Siri website, where you will find functions that you probably did not know.
As soon as we enter we find a minimalist application, which can confuse us with an Apple page. On the one hand, like many other websites, they work thanks to advertising or donations. They ask for yours discreetly at the end of the page, to maintain the page and in return you will not have advertising. On the other hand, you would start browsing the page by clicking on Setting (it is in red on the right) choosing if we want instructions for MacOS Sierra or iOS.
From this moment, you can search for the necessary instruction in the search engine, or browse the categories. So as not to bore you, we tell you the most unusual options. We have categories for all tastes:
- Conversion Of units. Make conversions of: length, weight, currency, time, mass, volume, etc. Question: how many dollars are a thousand euros.
- Calculations Mathematicians: Tell him to add, subtract, multiply or divide. But you can also make square roots or area surfaces.
- Calculate dates: days until an event, such as: how many days until Christmas.
- Notifications: you can ask him to read the notifications.
- E-mail: it is very practical. Ask him to update your email, read your last email, ask if you have received email for example from Carmen or show me emails from José.
- Calendar, Reminders and Notes: add a meeting, reminder or task. Ask about upcoming events. Add the X information to the reminder or note list. List all the October notes.
- Maps and Navigation: Ask Siri for traffic information, how long it takes to drive to an event or place, or show me a map of Italy, as examples.
- Knowledge: questions about general knowledge such as: What is the population of China? How tall is Everest?
- Random decisions: valid for games of chance. For example: tell me a number from one to ten.
- Dictation: you can dictate to Siri. Yes, this is done by other applications, but Siri already recognizes when we say: "period", "comma" or "question mark".
Until today, the page is in English and German. On the other hand, Siri is constantly learning and therefore it is to be expected that the page will incorporate more and more news and this page will collect them. For this I recommend your visit periodically.
