When I'm preparing food, I often use Siri to created reminders of how much of an ingredient I'm using for calorie count purposes. So this morning I say:
"Hey, Siri, remind me: yogurt 94 grams."
Siri responds:
"Ok, I added 'Yogurt' to the list"
So it completely leaves off "94 grams." So to test this, I tried every number from 80-100. Astonishingly, 94 grams worked this time, even though I had tried it probably ten times in a row before where it didn't work, yet five other random numbers were not picked up. So what the heck is going on here? It seems to fail completely at random. It seems if I say another word instead of yogurt (e.g. banana), it never fails, but I haven't tested that exhaustively.
When I use Siri on my Apple Watch (as seen in the video above), where it transcribes what you say on the screen, it clearly shows my complete sentence, yet it still leaves of "xx grams" on random reminders. And it's not misconstruing "xx grams" as a time in these cases, because there's no time attached to the reminder. Using Siri on the iPhone yields the same results, so this isn't an Apple Watch issue. Can any of you reproduce this with your iPhone?
P.S. I've also noticed lately that no matter how slowly and carefully I speak when I voice dictate in Safari on my iPhone to do a search, it cuts off my last word. So frustrating!
