Nice way to make Siri faster

I wish Siri was more like Google voice search app by actually seeing the voice recognition working. I think it would be faster for us as users to notice if it errors on certain words, so we can stop and mid sentence since editing in iOS is still a little bit of an annoyance..

Also it seems to be faster that this way, and when I notice words are incorrect i stop mid sentence and correct it.

I do enjoy Siri's baked into iOS goodness, but I think they can still do better, and voice recognition improvements are a start....

Well usually people wait for the ping sound, the sound that Siri gives you to let you know she got your command and is processing the information. But sometimes it takes a little while for it to give you that feedback

If you're in a relatively quiet environment if you wait for the ping siri responds in quicker time.

Yeah i know but you can even make it faster by tapping the microphone button right after your done talking. Works for me and i have tested it

there is a chance that she won't translate the last thing you said doing that.

She has gotten and understood every thing i said every single time i do it with no problems as of now

press it immediately after you say something, the last part might be cut off and if you talk for too long she will automatically cut you off

Holy crap. Thanks a lot TC. This is really useful and truly does work. Good job lol

OMG how is this a "trick"?? It's how Siri functions..... I guess I'm either a freaking genius because I've been doing this from day one OR I'm a total moron because I'm missing the entire point of this thread. I'll go with door #2 and make a graceful exit.

Enjoy using siri the way it was designed and have a great day!

Actually I would say it was "designed" so that you don't have to touch the button after speaking and that it was "designed" to know when you have finished speaking and process it that way.

The OP wasn't exactly claiming a miracle, but if someone didn't do this it's a darn useful tip.

Perhaps "trick" was a bad word to use, but seriously, why must people get so bitchy at a pretty useful post?
