Голосовое управление с Siri
Siri является интеллектуальной системой и способна распознавать команды в контексте свободно сказанной фразы. Однако, неизвестно, будет ли Siri когда-нибудь понимать русский язык. После запуска покомандовать смартфоном удастся только на английском.
Для управления функциями iPhone доступно довольно много возможностей. Кроме стандартных: совершения звонков, отправки SMS и сообщений на электронную почту, планирования встреч и составления заметок – Siri также может помочь осуществить поиск в интернете и даже выполнять сложные вычисления.
Во всей красе возможности, открывающиеся пользователю iPhone вместе с Siri, демонстрирует следующий рекламный ролик. Есть, конечно, сомнения, как система справится со сложными оборотами речи и не надоест ли со временем управлять смартфоном одним и тем же набором фраз, если такой набор вдруг окажется небольшим.
Кстати, о фразах. Портал TUAW.com собрал и опубликовал примеры построения фраз, которые Siri распознает точно. Из списка видно, сколько возможностей открывается пользователю с голосовым управлением и что одну и ту же команду можно отдать разными способами.
