Why no forum category for Siri

Hi everybody I wanted to ask why there is no foreign Katanga ready for Siri? I am a polyglot who speaks seven languages , and have extreme insights into why Siri can not interpret certain words which have double meanings, and words which have similar sound to them but which have different spellings and different meanings. I'm also very experienced through being a polyglot, and how context could be programmed into the Siri Software.

for example, Siri cannot do play rolls (plurals) - words like 'hard times' Will be printed out as "hard time is"

All plural versions of words are usually interpreted as present tense.

If it were me programming the Siri software, I would then program in a times fine with a minimum – maximum time span to assist Siri in deciding which of those possibilities should be chosen and interpreted. Of course this would then need a secondary pyrometer depending on the speed with which a person is speaking And that's the time span which is given for Siri to interpret if a word in English, which ends in S, is intended to be a singular word in the present tense, or if it is meant to be a plural word. This also depends on whether one is using verbs are nouns , which is also another parameter which Siri could take into account to help itself decide upon which permutation to print out.


That's just a very basic insight into one of the many things I see happening with Siri and the difficulties which are presented for Siri to be able to accurately interprets the meaning of words and print them out properly. Accidents are of calls (Of Course.. Not 'of calls‘ - the words 'of course' seem also impossible for Siri to interpret properly) also a problem. I watched a documentary lately called before BAbel, and a couple of other related documentaries, which what to do with (t do with.. I never said the word 'what') Symantec's, and at the mall that (Semantics, and Etymology), see? Siri didn't get those two words either, because nobody has entered them into series dictionary (Siri's Dictionary)

The word words is also most often interpreted as 'woods'

anyway, my point is that I know why Siri is getting it wrong, and I know how it could be solved but it's too complex to explain here using Siri, as can be seen from the massive mistakes in the above paragraphs, and I don't wish to type all here because nobody who is programming Siri is going to read it so it's throwing pearls at swine, all right least ( i said 'or at least', not 'all right least') going to be washed away like tears in the rain.


One thing I can say that when I speak in Spanish, German, or Thai, The way that Siri interprets my language is almost perfectly spelled and interpreted. Especially in thai, is a tonal based mono syllabic language Siri just wrote the word 'thai' without a capital letter which is also absolutely ridiculous because it is the name of a language or a nationality and requires capitalize Asian of the first letter to be grammatically correct. Obviously illiterate people are programming Siri in the English language. Which makes me assume they are American Nationals of Asian Ethnicity.

Anyway all I want to say is unless you use polyglots who have deep insights into Etymology, Semantics and who know how Artificial Intelligence is coded (like me) you are never going to get it right in the English language, because English is not spelled the same way it is pronounced, and has so many different accidents (Accents), that's nobody apart from people like myself are ever going to see through the jungle of problems.

SIri worls very very well for Thai.

German too. Spanish too. Although there are also issues but not even 5% of the issues which exist in the English language. If there are any Siri projects in existence which I tend to believe there are not because I don't even believe the artificial intelligence software which drives Siri has anything to do with Apple at all. I believe they are plugging into an external service Which is administrated and served by clandestine Ein organize Asian (clandestine organisation)

But if there is such a thing as the Siri team of developers and the Siri project then somebody should get in touch with me if they want some free help with insights that they will never ever receive unless they have polyglots on the team

I can't choose the Siri community supposed to so I chose other OS X communities, because there is no such thing as a community for Siri. It seems that Apple wishes to keep the Siri program completely inaccessible for us to discuss

No, that is not Siri. That is speech to text. Also called dictation. However, with Mac OS 10.12 you now ALSO have Siri. The difference is when you ask a question Siri answers your question. It does not simply transcribe what you have said.


Dictation has been around for years; it is available as Dragon Dictate on both Apple and non-Apple computers for at least 20 years, but was integrated into Mac OS quite a while ago.

GOlly no edit button

the first line says 'foreign katanga'!!!

i Said 'Forum'

*** is a Katanga siri?

that word does not exist. So what protocol has Siri used to change the word 'foreign Katanga'', into 'foreign cut Tonga' (Katanga) jeez first it types Katanga... Then it says Katanga, and it types 'cut tonga'

*** is a cut tonga siri?

Absolutely in sane

argghhhhh i said 'insane' and siri changed it to 'in sane'

Absolute nonsense

The edit button is only available for the first 15 minutes after you submit a post.


From skimming your post, I gather you want to submit feedback to Apple. This is a user-to-user technical support forum. Apple doesn't read here for suggestions.


There is a "Contact Us" link at the bottom right of every page.

That's rubbish what you're saying I use Siri on my Mac book on my iMac and on my Mac Mini and Siri has nothing to do with iOS rather it is a completely external artificial intelligence software which nobody knows the location of. The amount of effort I have made over the years to try to contact Apple is tantamount to a nervous break down due to compartmentalize Seshan and missing topics which make anything you try to post either off-topic or out of context. How on earth do you expect us to make an effort when you make it so difficult to access the right areas?

I'm not sure if Apple deserves my efforts till now which is why I end up in such an antagonistic mood. I offer feedback to various development teams of other companies in silicone valley, who all appreciate my feedback, and do not receive any antagonism from me because they are open to feedback instead of compartmentalizing themselves to make it impossible.

It's very difficult to teach a stubborn dog I have lots of work to do and I have mercifully spent the last couple of hours wasting my time here not for my benefit, rather, for the benefit of wishing to assist in perfecting the Siri program .

I just have a philanthropic feelings about it but I'm kind of losing that the more I try

I'm not sure you understand. This is a user-to-user forum. No one who has posted here works for Apple. So stop berating us.


For what it's worth, I have no trouble getting Siri or Dictation to type most of the words you say you're having trouble with. Perhaps it's your diction.

Then YOU have a very special Mac.

I suspect that the poster is misunderstanding and using "Siri" to mean dictation. It's a not uncommon error.
