Make A Phone Call

Tell Siri the person you want to call. Siri might ask to confirm which number to dial (work, home, and so on). If you know that a contact listing has multiple phone numbers, you can go ahead and specify which number to dial, like this:
Press and hold the Home button. Begin talking after the short chime.
You could say "Call [person's name] mobile." Or "Call [person's name] home." Or "Call [person's name] work." You get the idea. Siri knows which number to call because you're more specific.

 launch Apps

You can tell Siri to "Open Facebook." or "Launch Safari." If you didn't say the complete name, or if Siri finds more than one match, it will present you with a list of matching apps.Either say the complete name or tap the proper app.
Wait for Siri to launch you app.


Dictate to Siri

Why type when you can speak?

siri 1
Commands and questions aren't the only ways to put Siri to work. Wherever you can type a long passage of text, tap the microphone key (left of the spacebar) to dictate instead. Siri listens for a bit longer in this mode. Tap the Done button when you're finished. If it stops listening prematurely, just tap the mic key to continue.
 If you forgot something, move the text cursor to the correct spot, tap the mic and Siri will insert text at that specific point.

 Speak symbols. While many may know about the punctation feature of Siri, did you know that you can also speak tons of symbols? Here are some symbols that Siri recognizes: percent sign, copyright sign, registered sign, section sign, dollar sign, cent sign, degree sign, caret, at sign, pound sterling sign, and pound sign.




 Add grammar
Punctuate your dictation

Siri doesn't make assumptions about punctuation and grammar, but it recognises commands for inserting new paragraphs, commas, full stops and many other grammatical constructs. Sadly, these aren't recognised when composing emails outside of Mail. Work around this by starting to compose a message, but provide only the recipient and subject. Next, tap the message to open it in Mail. The text cursor will be in the body, so tap the mic key to start dictating. In this mode, Siri responds to grammatical instructions. Siri takes dictation to the next level by allowing you to add all kinds of punctuation to your sentences. Some commands include: “new paragraph,”all caps on. all caps off,” “asterisk,”open bracket… close bracket,”em dash,”at sign,” etc. You can read more about punctuation commands here if you’re interested.


 Set relationships
Personalise the conversation
siri 4
In the Contacts app, find your record and edit it. Swipe all the way to the bottom of the form, add a field and pick Related People from the list. Tap the left side of the field that appears on the form and you'll be presented with a list of relationships. Siri recognises these connections to you, allowing it to understand personalised requests, such as "Send a message to my boss to say the train has broken down so I'll be late." You can even establish these relationships with spoken commands, such as "My father is  and say yore fathers name. Siri will such your address book for that name
And will ask you if you want her to rember that just say yes.
It works with all kinds of relationships.


  Arrange to meet

Let Siri find your friends for you on the map
siri 5
You were planning on a quiet weekend, but a friend just called encouraging you to meet them at a cool new place they've found. They don't have to send their location using the Maps app to show you where it's at, provided you've already linked up with Apple's Find My Friends app (Free). When you ask Siri where that person is, it retrieves the information from the app and shows their location on a map, along with an approximation of the address so you can pop over and be there in no time.



 Schedule events Organise your diary

Setting up calendar events is one of Siri's most useful features, but its scheduling abilities are more sophisticated than that. You can check your availability with phrases like "Do I have anything on my calendar next July?" and "What does my day look like next Friday?"
If you don't check your schedule, Siri will warn you about any potential overlaps that might exist. It only explicitly asks if you still want to add the new event. However, it will take into account the context for further spoken commands, so you can tell it: "Change the time." Alternatively, if it's the existing event that you want to change, commit the new one to your calendar, then say something like: "Change my 5pm meeting to 4pm."
Not only that, but specifying a period of time will have Siri determine if you have events set inside that time frame. 

 Get social with Siri

This tip works with Twitter too

siri 8
Siri can't interact with Facebook directly, but you can set things up to post status updates just by speaking. On the Facebook website, in Account settings, click Mobile on the left and follow the instructions to set up text messaging. Create a new contact on your iPhone with 'Facebook' as its name and set its mobile number to the text messaging one Facebook provides. Now you can tell Siri to "Send a message to Facebook".


 Make lists Add to pre-existing reminders

siri 9Although Siri can't create new lists in the Reminders app, it can add to existing ones as things spring to mind. Say something like: "Add passport renewal to my holiday list", substituting the list's name followed explicitly with 'list' to give context. Be wary of including the word 'list' in a list's name; Thankfully, if it recognises you're adding to a list but isn't sure which one, it'll prompt you to choose from those available.






 Delete all alarms.
Not only will Siri delete certain alarms, but you can also say something along the lines of “delete all my alarms” and Siri will clear everything. A perfect tip for a lazy weekend at home.
How too set a repeating alarm
If you want an alarm to repeat, for example, to wake you up at the same time every day, Siri can set that up for you as well. Press and hold down the Home button to activate Siri. Tell Siri to set an alarm, along with the time. For example: "Set an alarm for 6pm every weekday" or "wake me up at 9am ever day".When Siri displays the alarm widget, the repetition interval is show about the on/off toggle switch.


Look up random stuff with Wolfram Alpha.
 TUAW has a great roundup of random stuff you can ask Siri with the online search engine Wolfram Alpha. You can say things like, “How many days until Thanksgiving?” or “Create a secure password” or “How many calories are in an apple?” or “What is the time zone in London?” The list goes on and on.

 Find movie showtimes near you.
Google has a nifty movie showtimes feature that can be triggered by saying "[insert movie name] showtimes.” Siri will open Google and determine your location. A web-optimzied list of showtimes for theaters near you will be displayed.
Some things you can ask Sir











Set reminder
 Set reminder one of the easiest things to do with Siri is have it set up a quick Reminder.


 Siri is so quick, in fact, it's almost always faster to use Siri than to tap your way through the Reminders app to set them up manually. Press and hold down the Home button to activate Siri. Tell Siri what you want to be reminded about, and when. For example: "Remind me to call Leanna at 9pm." Tap Confirm to set the reminder ore Siri will ask you should I create it? Say yes or create it.The Reminder will go into the default Reminders list. This is usually Reminders for iCloud users and Tasks for Exchange users, or whatever you set up as the default list in Settings.
If you made a mistake or simply want to revise something immediately, instead of confirming, you can also tell Siri to "change the time to", "change the title (of the appointment/event)", or simply "cancel" it entirely.

  Read  or send your text messages.

Press and hold the Home button.
After the short chime, you can give Siri a command. Say something like, "Read me my texts."  You can make the same request a number of different ways. "Do I have any messages?" works just great. Siri announces how many messages you have waiting for you. Siri then starts reading all new messages to you, beginning with the sender's name — or if the name is unknown, the phone number it's coming from. You won't see the message on the screen. When prompted by Siri to say what you want to do with the message, say either "Reply" or "Read them again."  iri performs the action requested.  Keep in mind that Siri will read only those text messages that you haven't picked up yet. If you've got a bunch of messages stored on your phone but you've already read and/or replied to them, Siri will tell you there isn't anything to read to you.   You have a number of options when it comes to responding to a text message. The following    are a few commands that Siri can handle:
    • "Reply that's a great idea, thanks."
    • "Reply saying that's a great idea, thanks."
    • "Tell her I'll be there in 15 minutes."
    • "Call him."
    • "E-mail her."
    • "Read it again."


 schedule meetings
Staying organized is easy with the Siri Calendar on your iPhone 4S. Siri makes it drop-dead simple to add or access calendar entries, without having to stop to type in all the information. By speaking a few sentences, you can change appointments, add location information, or have Siri read off what’s on your calendar for any given day.  Adding a new calendar antes 
Adding a new calendar appointment using Siri is a breeze. Press and hold the Home button. The little chime you hear means Siri is listening for your instructions. Tell Siri about a calendar appointment you'd like to make. For example, say, "Remember to call Auntie Terry-Lynn at 5pm tomorrow" or "Set up a meeting about the sales report at 9 a.m. Thursday."  Confirm or cancel the appointment.
Say "Cancel" or "Yes" or tap Cancel or Confirm to either or confirm the appointment.
Siri will warn you if your proposed appointment overlaps with an existing one.

Reviewing calendar appointments

Siri can also help you quickly review your calendar appointments. The following bullet list highlights a few examples of what you can ask Siri and what you'll see and hear in return:
  • "What does my day look like?" Siri shows you today's calendar entries.
  • "When is my next meeting?" Siri tells and shows you the time for your next appointment.
  • "What do I have on Friday?" Siri displays all calendar entries for a given date.
  • "When am I meeting with Julie?" Siri says and displays the time for your next appointment.
  • "Where is my meeting with Steven?" Siri tells you the location for the relevant appointment and shows you the calendar entry, too.
