Voice Siri assistant at one time was presented to the general public as a revolutionary innovation Apple. Really, artificial intelligence Siri seemed something unusual and was associated with “ smart computer"from science fiction films like Star Wars.

And even now, when voice assistants (such as “OK Google”) are no longer something unusual, Siri helps users save a lot of time without wasting time searching for information on the Internet or typing telephone number. Of course, sometimes a language or lexical barrier may appear between you and Siri, but the system adapts to the peculiarities of pronunciation and soon Siri will begin to understand you better.

It is also worth noting that in iOS versions 8.3, Siri finally appeared in Russian! Now Russian-speaking users of Apple devices can fully experience the capabilities of this technology. Let us remind you that the voice assistant is available on iPad starting from the 3rd generation; iPhone 4S and above; , Mini 2 and Mini 3, as well as on iPod Touch 5th generation and Apple Watch.

However, in this article we will not delve into the capabilities of Siri, but will try to deal with one simple but common problem - many owners of Apple products simply do not know how to enable and configure Siri on their device. Before you wonder why you can't turn on Siri, check whether your device supports this technology.

As a rule, the voice assistant is already in the activated state by default. To go to it, just hold down Home button on the device. After sound notification, Siri is ready to talk. If for some reason your settings have been reset, you can go to Settings -> Basic -> Siri and enable the function yourself. There you can also enable the “Hey Siri” option. When activated, you can enter into a conversation with the assistant by simply saying hello with the phrase “Hey, Siri” (Hey, Siri in English). However, this function is only available in charging mode. Here you can turn your assistant into an assistant and give the system a male voice.

To disable this function just follow the above path in the device settings and move the toggle switch to the inactive position. You will then need to agree to the disconnection notice.

As we wrote at the beginning of the article, with latest firmware Siri now has a Russian voice. However, some users have difficulty enabling Russian-speaking Siri. First, make sure your device is running OS version 8.3. With younger versions Russian Siri won't work.

Secondly, if everything is fine with the software, go to Settings-> Reset-> Reset all settings. This way you will return the device to its original appearance. All passwords, saved pages and settings will be reset, but the content you downloaded (photos, videos, documents) will remain intact. Next, you just need to turn on Siri, according to the instructions above. To select Russian, go to the “Language” menu item and select “Russian”.

After these simple operations, your virtual assistant should speak to you in the “great and mighty.” Finally, let’s look at what Russian Siri can do on this moment:

Control your media player and find music by genre
Provide information about contacts from your phone book
Call the named name, call back the specified persons and check for missed calls
Open a program or photo
Find and read messages (in Russian)
Plan, reschedule, change events
Plot routes in navigators and open the necessary maps
Search the Internet for information (using Bing for searching)
Talk with the owner on various topics (and sometimes Siri gives quite interesting answers, this can be seen in the screenshot)

In general, the range of functions of the electronic assistant is still limited, but Apple does not stand still and is constantly developing, and it seems that Siri will soon turn into a genuine artificial intelligence with wide capabilities.

Siri is a voice assistant that was the first to support the Russian language, and only then did the domestic one appear, released at the end of 2017, and even later in the summer of 2018 it spoke Russian. Siri recognizes Russian speech quite well, even if music is playing nearby or there are extraneous noises.

Siri on iPhone SE

Siri wasn't always owned by Apple. Initially, it was separate application V App Store for iOS. In 2010 year Apple acquired Siri Inc. and their unique development. Shortly after the purchase, Apple built Siri into the iPhone 4S and then into its subsequent devices. Then, in 2011, Siri became the first product on the personal voice assistant market.

Siri adapts to each user individually, studies his preferences and begins to better understand his “master”. This is primarily noticeable in the improvement of your voice recognition after the first weeks of use. You can also tell Siri how to address you and the names of your contacts from address book so that she understands you better. And when Siri pronounces names incorrectly, you can always correct her and show her the correct accent.

Siri is available on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV and, as well as in almost all modern cars via CarPlay function. Way launch Siri and list available commands varies depending on the device.

Hey Siri - How to enable Siri with your voice

Siri can be launched solely using your voice, without pressing any buttons at all. All you have to do is say, “Hey Siri.” After the sound signal, you can ask a question or give a command.

To do this, the “Hey Siri” function must be activated on the device: Settings → Siri and search → Listen to “Hey Siri”.

For everyone iPhone models, starting with iPhone 6s and also on iPad Pro This function can be used at any time by saying “Hey Siri” so that it is picked up by the gadget’s microphones. On earlier iPhones and iPads, the always-listening feature only works when your device is connected to a charger.

All Siri can do here is make FaceTime calls, write messages, play music, show the weather forecast and help you work with files and folders.

Siri on Mac

It is worth noting that working with files on a computer using a voice assistant is really convenient. Siri can carry out quick search files, sort them by type, date or keyword. For example, if you tell Siri, “Show me my photos from yesterday,” a folder with the corresponding media files will open.

There are several ways to activate Siri on Mac:

Probably in next versions macOS will have more commands for Siri, including commands for HomeKit. This would be a logical continuation of Apple's integration of voice assistant into its laptops and desktops.

Who is Siri? What is Siri?

Siri (English: Speech Interpretation and Recognition Interface) - personal assistant and a question and answer system designed for iOS. Siri uses natural speech processing to answer questions and make recommendations. Siri adapts to each user individually, learning their preferences over time.

Siri's history begins in 2010, when voice application hits the App Store from Siri Inc. On April 28, 2010, Siri was acquired by Apple.

Siri is available on the following devices.

iPhone 4S, 5, 5C, 5S, 6, 6 Plus
iPad Mini 1, 2, 3, iPad 3, 4, Air, Air 2
iPod Touch
Apple Watch

Siri on English language first appeared in iOS 5. Siri in Russian was released along with iOS 8.3.

How to turn Siri on/off?

Siri has not yet been selected in Settings separate section. So let's go to Settings->General->Siri. Turn on the Siri checkbox if it is not enabled.

After this, a message appears in the center of the screen, which warns the user that requests for Siri are being sent to Apple servers. Click “Enable Siri”

Below we see Siri settings(we'll come back to them later). We are interested in the item Language. Select "Russian".

Now press the Home button on the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch and hold it without lifting your finger for a couple of seconds. The Siri start window appears on your iPad.

We ask our questions and receive answers or some actions from the system.

Siri Settings

Settings->General->Siri. Let's go through the specific options.

Allow "Hey Siri"- by enabling this option you can activate Siri if the phone is charging. To do this, I must say, you will never guess... “Hey Siri.”

Language- choice Siri language. Yes, you can talk to Siri in any language you know. Moreover, for some languages there are dialects to choose from.

You need to understand that phrases for Siri are spoken by a living person (announcer). This requires resources: that is why Siri still speaks Russian in only a female voice.

Audio review- the essence of this setting: make Siri silent if the phone is in silent mode. By default, Siri will always speak.

My details- this item allows you to select yourself from the Contacts program. Siri will address you as specified in the Nickname field (if available) or by name.

Let me add that Siri can understand human language and she is constantly learning. That is, she understands human phrases like “How are you?” and responds accordingly. Chat with Siri. :)

Siri also provides the most extensive capabilities in English. In Russian there are many additional options Not yet. In particular, the English Siri supports the WolframAlpha system. Translation into Russian is underway, but there is no exact time frame for the appearance of WolframAlpha support in our Siri.

Siri is built into CarPlay. CarPlay is modern way iPhone control in a car, when the most required applications, adapted for the driver.
