Using Siri in your app?

HannKett · Mar 2, 2012, 07:37 AM

Hello,

I just checked the developer site at apple, and could not find any useful information if it is possible to use Siri in our apps?

Is there a API out? can I use it in my app?

Anyone have experience trying this or has succeeded implementing it?

would be cool to hear your stories around this

Sorry, SIRI has no API (yet). Thus, no stories.

Not yet. When Siri comes out of beta we expect the API to be made available.

The best you're going to get right now is the mic key on the keyboard.

Edit: So, for example, I advertise one of my apps as allowing "voice search". It's really the same as the old text search... I didn't change a thing, I just pointed out to users that they could use their voice rather than type for their search if they so desired.

You could maybe go a bit further and try to make sense of what the mic key has transcribed in the text field...

That is what I was afraid to hear

Will be cool when we can use it (soon enough I hope).

Thanks guys
