• Carplay isn't Siri...

    From Alan@21:1/5 to All on Sat May 13 11:23:40 2023
    ...and Siri isn't simply using voice recognition:


    'With Maps open in CarPlay, do one of the following:

    Select a place you saved as a favorite. (See Save favorite places in
    Maps on iPhone.)

    Select Destinations, then select a recent destination or scroll to
    select a destination you saved in a collection. (See Organize places in
    My Guides in Maps on iPhone.)

    Select Search, then select the Microphone button to speak a search
    phrase, or select the Keyboard button to use the onscreen keyboard (if available). You can also select a destination from a category of nearby services, such as Parking or Restaurants.'

    <https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/iphone/iph215b053f6/ios>

    Notice they never once call speaking an address after selecting "Search"
    using Siri.

    Use Siri to ask a question or to do something.
    Siri: Say something like:
    “Get directions to the nearest coffee shop”
    “Call Eliza Block”
    “Play more songs like this one”
    “Show me the map”
    “What’s my next meeting?”
    “What’s the weather for today?”

    In fact Siri has to be enabled for any voice commands to work on CarPlay devices.

    In any event when I try to get that location via Siri on my iPad or iPhone the street number also drops out. It worked for you. Maybe voice recognition issue?

    You've demanded video after video from me, so put up or shut up, you
    lying Little Shit.

    So, I now understand that you can use Apple Maps (and other Apple apps) with Siri turned off by using the mic icon in the search bar. Good to know. Thanks for pointing that out.

    I have also discovered that you can use Google Maps with voice search by speaking Hey Siri/Hey Google asking for directions to an address. That brings up Google maps with spoken directions with no manual interaction. That does not work within CarPlay
    though. Siri says you can't use Google search while driving. Good to know too.

    So, let me get this all straight before I make any more videos.

    You: " That shows you can use SIRI to control Carplay." Me: (Please at least spell CarPlay correctly!)

    Me: You claim that I can turn off Siri and still use CarPlay by opening Apple Maps in CarPlay and typing in a destination?

    You: Post a video with sound showing the 12999 address error with Siri lookup and you will admit it's really an error?

    Here is what I plan to do:
    1. Use a second phone to record the video in order to capture sound.
    2. Turn off Siri.
    3. Use the mic in the Maps search bar to try and find the 12999 address by dictation only.
    4. Turn Siri back on.
    5. Retraining Siri voice recognition is required, and will be performed.
    6. Use Siri to try and find the 12999 address.

    "Hey Siri, driving directions to 12999 Pennsylvania Street".

    ...hmmm?

    Well, I have had 4 years of CarPlay experience spread over 3 cars. My Honda Insight, the current Accord and the wife's 2015 CRV with a retrofit Pioneer entertainment system/wireless CarPlay have taught me a lot. At least you were honest about lack of
    first hand knowledge. Hint, CarPlay has no non-Siri option. As I show in the video below CarPlay will not even run unless Siri is active on your controlling iPhone. Siri is the only CarPlay voice command. Hello Google verbal search is not permitted on
    the CarPlay platform. FYI you can get to Google Maps verbal search with 3 finger touches: Map screen/Search/Microphone icon is the touch combination once Google Maps is in full screen mode. If not on CarPlay no touching is required for Google Maps
    directions: Hey Siri/Hey Google/Go to <say destination address> takes you to Google Maps with the route up on Google Maps and ready to be started from current location. Why not on CarPlay? Apple wants you to use THEIR inferior voice response and Maps. If
    you are already in the Maps app and make a Siri destination request why does Siri need "navigate to..."? Makes no sense to me.

    Sorry it took a few days, but here is the detailed Car Play video with narration. In the car, in the garage and out, using Siri/Apple Maps and Google/Google Maps. Siri fails on multiple levels. Car Play will not even run unless Siri is enabled. Why?
    Google Maps needs 3 tries to find bakerMedia, but otherwise flawless.

    It's a lot more detailed and honest video than your attempt by someone with limited experience. Note that the upload finished at about 1720 EDT today 19 May. It takes Google some time to do their processing and make it playable from the cloud. Suggest
    you wait a few hours before trying access. 1.28 GB 60 FPS 1080p HD.

    video in order to capture sound. 2. Turn off Siri. 3. Use the mic
    in the Maps search bar to try and find the 12999 address by
    dictation only. 4. Turn Siri back on. 5. Retraining Siri voice
    recognition is required, and will be performed. 6. Use Siri to
    try and find the 12999 address.
    How about you do the last part first, Little Shit?

    How about you simply make a video including your voice saying:

    "Hey Siri, driving directions to 12999 Pennsylvania Street".

    ...hmmm?

    Well, I have had 4 years of CarPlay experience spread over 3 cars. My
    Honda Insight, the current Accord and the wife's 2015 CRV with a
    retrofit Pioneer entertainment system/wireless CarPlay have taught me
    a lot. At least you were honest about lack of first hand knowledge.

    Yes. I am by my nature, very honest.

    Hint, CarPlay has no non-Siri option. As I show in the video below
    CarPlay will not even run unless Siri is active on your controlling
    iPhone. Siri is the only CarPlay voice command.

    So that is a CHOICE Apple has made; most likely because they want you to
    not interact with a touchscreen unless there is no other way.


    Hello Google verbal
    search is not permitted on the CarPlay platform.

    So? How is that relevant?

    FYI you can get to
    Google Maps verbal search with 3 finger touches: Map
    screen/Search/Microphone icon is the touch combination once Google
    Maps is in full screen mode.

    Yup. iOS. Map screen, tap text entry box, tap microphone icon in keyboard.


    If not on CarPlay no touching is
    required for Google Maps directions:

    Stop mixing these two things up.

    Hey Siri/Hey Google/Go to <say
    destination address> takes you to Google Maps with the route up on
    Google Maps and ready to be started from current location. Why not on CarPlay? Apple wants you to use THEIR inferior voice response and
    Maps. If you are already in the Maps app and make a Siri destination
    request why does Siri need "navigate to..."? Makes no sense to me.

    Because, you incredible simpleton:

    SIRI IS NOT JUST VOICE RECOGNITION.

    You can use Siri while you happen to be looking at the Maps app...

    ...because Siri can do other things!

    You're not using Google's equivalent of Siri when you tap the microphone
    icon from within Google maps. That is equivalent to tapping the
    microphone icon in Apple

    Sorry it took a few days, but here is the detailed Car Play video
    with narration. In the car, in the garage and out, using Siri/Apple
    Maps and Google/Google Maps. Siri fails on multiple levels. Car Play
    will not even run unless Siri is enabled. Why? Google Maps needs 3
    tries to find bakerMedia, but otherwise flawless.

    It's a lot more detailed and honest video than your attempt by
    someone with limited experience. Note that the upload finished at
    about 1720 EDT today 19 May. It takes Google some time to do their
    processing and make it playable from the cloud. Suggest you wait a
    few hours before trying access. 1.28 GB 60 FPS 1080p HD.

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SDYVyHb79Qf1mk97NDUOxAxbIQ9zmsoS/view?usp=share_link

    So, just by retraining "Hey Siri", you should know that Siri does a lot
    more than just allow you to get directions.

    And you said "Go to" when I EXPLICITLY told you what to say:

    How about you simply make a video including your voice saying:

    "Hey Siri, driving directions to 12999 Pennsylvania Street".

    Why? Because you are a liar done to your core.

    Note an issue that you need to consider:

    Can Siri tell if you said:

    "go to one two nine nine nine"

    or

    "go two one two nine nine nine"

    ...hmmm?

    And show a different outcome for your home address...

    ...because you used a different method to invoke Siri.

    You it the "Search" button within the Maps app, so Siri already knows
    that whatever you say next is going to be a destination. The clue was
    Siri saying "Directions to where?".

    And "Corsair Field, Danville Indiana" is a VERY obscure CLUB. Not a
    business at all.

    "Indianapolis R/C flyers, [mumble]town" is actually called "Indianapolis
    R/C MODELLERS", but that was just an error on your part, right, Little Shit?

    And this isn't about Siri being perfect. It's about you (now)
    deliberately misusing it to try to "prove" your points.

    But you'd better use Google Maps in CarPlay while you're parked, him...

    ...anyone can see how long your attention would have to be on a
    touchscreen rather than on the road.

    As for not finding "baker media vancouver"...

    ...the only possible purpose for that is your continued attempt to
    stalk/dox me.

    And Siri's successes and failures have NOTHING to do with whether you
    are inside or outside your garage.

    If you think any of this is at all based on "cell reception", you're not
    just a liar... ...you're an ignoramus. Siri, Apple Maps (and not it
    isn't "Apple Maps in Siri"; that's just another stunning
    misunderstanding of what is going on) and Google Maps both use
    voice-to-text processing to convert what you say into text and then used
    their designed processes to search their respective databases for an answer.

    Apple's location database doesn't have "Corsair Field, Danville Indiana"
    in it. It has nothing to with Siri whatsoever. Try typing it in on your
    iPad or iPhone and you'll get precisely the same result.

    Now,

    How about you simply make a video including your voice saying:

    "Hey Siri, driving directions to 12999 Pennsylvania Street".

    And how about you admit that I showed you a video of my iPhone working perfectly. (Although, I do admit that it gets confused by
    "Carmel"—because of "Carmel-by-the-sea" being so much closer to me—and
    so I say "Indianapolis")

    But my bet is that you did try out my explicit instructions and they DID
    work.

    So that's why you deliberately set out to make Siri fail by saying "go to".

    One thing that I will say to you (much more for the benefit of others)
    is that you can vary how long Siri will wait for to keep speaking (how
    long you can pause while you collect your thoughts) but you need to find
    that under Settings:Accessibility:Siri, not under "Siri & Search" (which
    is a little dumb).

    BTW, you can turn on the option to have Siri always show what it has interpreted as what you spoke. When I did that for your "go to/two/too
    one two nine nine nine pennsylvania street", it shows very quickly what happened.

    Also, BTW. Siri would happily give you "driving directions to manor care
    carmel indiana" (replying "Getting driving directions to HCR
    ManorCare..." And despite all the obscure little clubs Apple Maps didn't
    have data for, you somehow just overlooked that option, huh?

    Also, also, BTW, your vaunted Google Maps fails utterly to find YOUR business... ...even if I type it in so there can be no error. "FXXXXXXN LLC"

    Interesting you were happy to dox me, but didn't want to show that in
    your video, did you?

    Use Siri to ask a question or to do something. Siri: Say something
    like: “Get directions to the nearest coffee shop” “Call
    Eliza Block” “Play more songs like this one” “Show me the >>>>> map” “What’s my next meeting?” “What’s the weather for >>>>> today?”
    That shows you can use SIRI to control Carplay.

    Your statement is analogous to claiming a peripheral such as a
    printer "uses" the operating system.

    You have it backwards.

    Siri isn't the voice recognition facility of iOS.

    Siri is a digital assistant that USES the voice recognition
    facility of iOS.

    You can turn off Siri completely, and still use
    speech-to-text.

    In fact Siri has to be enabled for any voice commands to work
    on CarPlay devices.

    In any event when I try to get that location via Siri on my
    iPad or iPhone the street number also drops out. It worked
    for you. Maybe voice recognition issue?
    Operator error, or...

    ...far more likely...

    ...deliberate misuse by you.

    Post a video including what YOU said.

    You've demanded video after video from me, so put up or shut
    up, you lying Little Shit.

    So, I now understand that you can use Apple Maps (and other
    Apple apps) with Siri turned off by using the mic icon in the
    search bar. Good to know. Thanks for pointing that out.
    It was utterly obvious, but you're wellcome.

    I have also discovered that you can use Google Maps with voice
    search by speaking Hey Siri/Hey Google asking for directions to
    an address. That brings up Google maps with spoken directions
    with no manual interaction.
    Sorry, but I would like to see a video of you bringing up Google
    Maps with "Hey Google" on an iPhone.
    That does not work within CarPlay though. Siri says you can't use
    Google search while driving. Good to know too.

    So, let me get this all straight before I make any more videos.

    You: " That shows you can use SIRI to control Carplay." Me:
    (Please at least spell CarPlay correctly!)

    Me: You claim that I can turn off Siri and still use CarPlay by
    opening Apple Maps in CarPlay and typing in a destination?
    I would expect so, yes. Frankly, I'd expect you could still use
    voice-to-text, but I don't know precisely how it works because I
    haven't had a lot of opportunity to play with CarPlay as my BMW
    doesn't have it.

    You: Post a video with sound showing the 12999 address error
    with Siri lookup and you will admit it's really an error?

    Alan, Alan, Alan.

    Siri is voice recognition. Any time you say Hey Siri your device starts listening and Siri turns your voice commands to actions programmed into the system.

    OK, I just followed your very precise driving directions search phrase. You are right it does work. BUT if I omit "Carmel Indiana" it fails. If say "Navigate To" or "Go To" it fails. Thanks, you make my point. Siri requires a very precise spoken phrase
    to find this address. Google does not. "Go To" and "Drive To" work just fine for Google Maps. Google is much better at interpreting context and performing the requested task.

    What's the point of wanting "Hey Google" in place of "Hey Siri" on iPhone? It actually works where Siri fails. After all, I can choose my default browser and email. Why not voice commands too? Apple forces you to use Siri, a clearly inferior solution.
    You just proved it. Thanks very much.

    Finally, I only had one bar of cell reception in the garage. Not on the video there were some lookup failures, so I left the garage for better reception.

    You can use Siri while you happen to be looking at the Maps app...

    ...because Siri can do other things!

    You're not using Google's equivalent of Siri when you tap the
    microphone icon from within Google maps. That is equivalent to
    tapping the microphone icon in Apple

    Sorry it took a few days, but here is the detailed Car Play
    video with narration. In the car, in the garage and out, using
    Siri/Apple Maps and Google/Google Maps. Siri fails on multiple
    levels. Car Play will not even run unless Siri is enabled. Why?
    Google Maps needs 3 tries to find bakerMedia, but otherwise
    flawless.

    It's a lot more detailed and honest video than your attempt by
    someone with limited experience. Note that the upload finished
    at about 1720 EDT today 19 May. It takes Google some time to do
    their processing and make it playable from the cloud. Suggest you
    wait a few hours before trying access. 1.28 GB 60 FPS 1080p HD.

    So, just by retraining "Hey Siri", you should know that Siri does a lot
    more than just allow you to get directions.

    And you said "Go to" when I EXPLICITLY told you what to say:
    How about you simply make a video including your voice saying:

    "Hey Siri, driving directions to 12999 Pennsylvania Street".
    Why? Because you are a liar done to your core.

    Note an issue that you need to consider:

    Can Siri tell if you said:

    "go to one two nine nine nine"

    or

    "go two one two nine nine nine"

    ...hmmm?

    And show a different outcome for your home address...

    ...because you used a different method to invoke Siri.

    You it the "Search" button within the Maps app, so Siri already
    knows that whatever you say next is going to be a destination. The
    clue was Siri saying "Directions to where?".

    And "Corsair Field, Danville Indiana" is a VERY obscure CLUB. Not
    a business at all.

    "Indianapolis R/C flyers, [mumble]town" is actually called
    "Indianapolis R/C MODELLERS", but that was just an error on your
    part, right, Little Shit?

    And this isn't about Siri being perfect. It's about you (now)
    deliberately misusing it to try to "prove" your points.

    But you'd better use Google Maps in CarPlay while you're parked,
    him...

    ...anyone can see how long your attention would have to be on a
    touchscreen rather than on the road.

    As for not finding "baker media vancouver"...

    ...the only possible purpose for that is your continued attempt to
    stalk/dox me.

    And Siri's successes and failures have NOTHING to do with whether
    you are inside or outside your garage.

    If you think any of this is at all based on "cell reception",
    you're not just a liar... ...you're an ignoramus. Siri, Apple Maps
    (and not it isn't "Apple Maps in Siri"; that's just another
    stunning misunderstanding of what is going on) and Google Maps both
    use voice-to-text processing to convert what you say into text and
    then used their designed processes to search their respective
    databases for an answer.

    Apple's location database doesn't have "Corsair Field, Danville
    Indiana" in it. It has nothing to with Siri whatsoever. Try typing
    it in on your iPad or iPhone and you'll get precisely the same
    result.

    Now, How about you simply make a video including your voice
    saying:

    "Hey Siri, driving directions to 12999 Pennsylvania Street". And
    how about you admit that I showed you a video of my iPhone working
    perfectly. (Although, I do admit that it gets confused by
    "Carmel"—because of "Carmel-by-the-sea" being so much closer to
    me—and so I say "Indianapolis")

    But my bet is that you did try out my explicit instructions and
    they DID work.

    So that's why you deliberately set out to make Siri fail by saying
    "go to".

    One thing that I will say to you (much more for the benefit of
    others) is that you can vary how long Siri will wait for to keep
    speaking (how long you can pause while you collect your thoughts)
    but you need to find that under Settings:Accessibility:Siri, not
    under "Siri & Search" (which is a little dumb).

    BTW, you can turn on the option to have Siri always show what it
    has interpreted as what you spoke. When I did that for your "go
    to/two/too one two nine nine nine pennsylvania street", it shows
    very quickly what happened.

    Also, BTW. Siri would happily give you "driving directions to manor
    care carmel indiana" (replying "Getting driving directions to HCR
    ManorCare..." And despite all the obscure little clubs Apple Maps
    didn't have data for, you somehow just overlooked that option,
    huh?

    Also, also, BTW, your vaunted Google Maps fails utterly to find
    YOUR business... ...even if I type it in so there can be no error.
    "FXXXXXXN LLC"

    Interesting you were happy to dox me, but didn't want to show that
    in your video, did you?

    Alan, Alan, Alan.

    Little Shit, Little Shit, Little Shit.


    Siri is voice recognition. Any time you say Hey Siri your device
    starts listening and Siri turns your voice commands to actions
    programmed into the system.

    No. Siri is a digital assistant that USES voice recognition.

    If Siri was only voice recognition, it wouldn't do anything with the
    words you spoke.

    Your first error was trying to use Siri as if it only did directions, so
    you thought simply speaking an address


    OK, I just followed your very precise driving directions search
    phrase. You are right it does work. BUT if I omit "Carmel Indiana" it
    fails. If say "Navigate To" or "Go To" it fails. Thanks, you make my
    point. Siri requires a very precise spoken phrase to find this
    address.

    Let's see the video...you lying Little Shit.

    Google does not. "Go To" and "Drive To" work just fine for
    Google Maps. Google is much better at interpreting context and
    performing the requested task.

    Because Google MAPS has a tighter FOCUS. Google MAPS assumes that
    anything you SPEAK to when tapping the microphone icon in Google MAPS is
    in the context of a LOCATION.


    What's the point of wanting "Hey Google" in place of "Hey Siri" on
    iPhone? It actually works where Siri fails.

    You talk about "Hey Google" doing something that "Hey Siri" doesn't (and
    expose that you don't actually know what it would do, because the
    activating phrase for Google's voice assistant is "Okay Google"), but no
    actual example has show you USING "Hey Google".

    Funny that.

    After all, I can choose
    my default browser and email. Why not voice commands too? Apple
    forces you to use Siri, a clearly inferior solution. You just proved
    it. Thanks very much.

    You just proved you're a lying Little Shit.

    Again.


    Finally, I only had one bar of cell reception in the garage. Not on
    the video there were some lookup failures, so I left the garage for
    better reception.

    Ah, so your video was edited.

    Got it.

    Operator error, or...

    ...far more likely...

    ...deliberate misuse by you.

    Post a video including what YOU said.

    You've demanded video after video from me, so put up or shut
    up, you lying Little Shit.

    So, I now understand that you can use Apple Maps (and other
    Apple apps) with Siri turned off by using the mic icon in the
    search bar. Good to know. Thanks for pointing that out.
    It was utterly obvious, but you're wellcome.

    I have also discovered that you can use Google Maps with voice
    search by speaking Hey Siri/Hey Google asking for directions to
    an address. That brings up Google maps with spoken directions
    with no manual interaction.
    Sorry, but I would like to see a video of you bringing up Google
    Maps with "Hey Google" on an iPhone.
    That does not work within CarPlay though. Siri says you can't use
    Google search while driving. Good to know too.

    So, let me get this all straight before I make any more videos.

    You: " That shows you can use SIRI to control Carplay." Me:
    (Please at least spell CarPlay correctly!)

    Me: You claim that I can turn off Siri and still use CarPlay by
    opening Apple Maps in CarPlay and typing in a destination?
    I would expect so, yes. Frankly, I'd expect you could still use
    voice-to-text, but I don't know precisely how it works because I
    haven't had a lot of opportunity to play with CarPlay as my BMW
    doesn't have it.

    You: Post a video with sound showing the 12999 address error
    with Siri lookup and you will admit it's really an error?
    I wrote nothing remotely like that.

    Here is what I plan to do: 1. Use a second phone to record the
    video in order to capture sound. 2. Turn off Siri. 3. Use the mic
    in the Maps search bar to try and find the 12999 address by
    dictation only. 4. Turn Siri back on. 5. Retraining Siri voice
    recognition is required, and will be performed. 6. Use Siri to
    try and find the 12999 address.
    How about you do the last part first, Little Shit?

    How about you simply make a video including your voice saying:

    "Hey Siri, driving directions to 12999 Pennsylvania Street".

    ...hmmm?

    Well, I have had 4 years of CarPlay experience spread over 3 cars. My
    Honda Insight, the current Accord and the wife's 2015 CRV with a
    retrofit Pioneer entertainment system/wireless CarPlay have taught me
    a lot. At least you were honest about lack of first hand knowledge.
    Yes. I am by my nature, very honest.
    Hint, CarPlay has no non-Siri option. As I show in the video below
    CarPlay will not even run unless Siri is active on your controlling
    iPhone. Siri is the only CarPlay voice command.
    So that is a CHOICE Apple has made; most likely because they want you to
    not interact with a touchscreen unless there is no other way.
    Hello Google verbal
    search is not permitted on the CarPlay platform.
    So? How is that relevant?
    FYI you can get to
    Google Maps verbal search with 3 finger touches: Map
    screen/Search/Microphone icon is the touch combination once Google
    Maps is in full screen mode.
    Yup. iOS. Map screen, tap text entry box, tap microphone icon in keyboard. >>> If not on CarPlay no touching is
    required for Google Maps directions:
    Stop mixing these two things up.
    Hey Siri/Hey Google/Go to <say
    destination address> takes you to Google Maps with the route up on
    Google Maps and ready to be started from current location. Why not on
    CarPlay? Apple wants you to use THEIR inferior voice response and
    Maps. If you are already in the Maps app and make a Siri destination
    request why does Siri need "navigate to..."? Makes no sense to me.
    Because, you incredible simpleton:

    SIRI IS NOT JUST VOICE RECOGNITION.

    Hello Google verbal search is not permitted on the CarPlay
    platform.
    So? How is that relevant?
    FYI you can get to Google Maps verbal search with 3 finger
    touches: Map screen/Search/Microphone icon is the touch
    combination once Google Maps is in full screen mode.
    Yup. iOS. Map screen, tap text entry box, tap microphone icon in
    keyboard.
    If not on CarPlay no touching is required for Google Maps
    directions:
    Stop mixing these two things up.
    Hey Siri/Hey Google/Go to <say destination address> takes you to
    Google Maps with the route up on Google Maps and ready to be
    started from current location. Why not on CarPlay? Apple wants
    you to use THEIR inferior voice response and Maps. If you are
    already in the Maps app and make a Siri destination request why
    does Siri need "navigate to..."? Makes no sense to me.
    Because, you incredible simpleton:

    SIRI IS NOT JUST VOICE RECOGNITION.

    You can use Siri while you happen to be looking at the Maps app...

    ...because Siri can do other things!

    You're not using Google's equivalent of Siri when you tap the
    microphone icon from within Google maps. That is equivalent to
    tapping the microphone icon in Apple

    Sorry it took a few days, but here is the detailed Car Play
    video with narration. In the car, in the garage and out, using
    Siri/Apple Maps and Google/Google Maps. Siri fails on multiple
    levels. Car Play will not even run unless Siri is enabled. Why?
    Google Maps needs 3 tries to find bakerMedia, but otherwise
    flawless.

    It's a lot more detailed and honest video than your attempt by
    someone with limited experience. Note that the upload finished
    at about 1720 EDT today 19 May. It takes Google some time to do
    their processing and make it playable from the cloud. Suggest you
    wait a few hours before trying access. 1.28 GB 60 FPS 1080p HD.

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SDYVyHb79Qf1mk97NDUOxAxbIQ9zmsoS/view?usp=share_link


    So, just by retraining "Hey Siri", you should know that Siri does a lot
    more than just allow you to get directions.

    And you said "Go to" when I EXPLICITLY told you what to say:
    How about you simply make a video including your voice saying:

    "Hey Siri, driving directions to 12999 Pennsylvania Street".
    Why? Because you are a liar done to your core.

    Note an issue that you need to consider:

    Can Siri tell if you said:

    "go to one two nine nine nine"

    or

    "go two one two nine nine nine"

    ...hmmm?

    And show a different outcome for your home address...

    ...because you used a different method to invoke Siri.

    You it the "Search" button within the Maps app, so Siri already
    knows that whatever you say next is going to be a destination. The
    clue was Siri saying "Directions to where?".

    And "Corsair Field, Danville Indiana" is a VERY obscure CLUB. Not
    a business at all.

    "Indianapolis R/C flyers, [mumble]town" is actually called
    "Indianapolis R/C MODELLERS", but that was just an error on your
    part, right, Little Shit?

    And this isn't about Siri being perfect. It's about you (now)
    deliberately misusing it to try to "prove" your points.

    But you'd better use Google Maps in CarPlay while you're parked,
    him...

    ...anyone can see how long your attention would have to be on a
    touchscreen rather than on the road.

    As for not finding "baker media vancouver"...

    ...the only possible purpose for that is your continued attempt to
    stalk/dox me.

    And Siri's successes and failures have NOTHING to do with whether
    you are inside or outside your garage.

    If you think any of this is at all based on "cell reception",
    you're not just a liar... ...you're an ignoramus. Siri, Apple Maps
    (and not it isn't "Apple Maps in Siri"; that's just another
    stunning misunderstanding of what is going on) and Google Maps both
    use voice-to-text processing to convert what you say into text and
    then used their designed processes to search their respective
    databases for an answer.

    Apple's location database doesn't have "Corsair Field, Danville
    Indiana" in it. It has nothing to with Siri whatsoever. Try typing
    it in on your iPad or iPhone and you'll get precisely the same
    result.

    Now, How about you simply make a video including your voice
    saying:

    "Hey Siri, driving directions to 12999 Pennsylvania Street". And
    how about you admit that I showed you a video of my iPhone working
    perfectly. (Although, I do admit that it gets confused by
    "Carmel"—because of "Carmel-by-the-sea" being so much closer to
    me—and so I say "Indianapolis")

    But my bet is that you did try out my explicit instructions and
    they DID work.

    So that's why you deliberately set out to make Siri fail by saying
    "go to".

    One thing that I will say to you (much more for the benefit of
    others) is that you can vary how long Siri will wait for to keep
    speaking (how long you can pause while you collect your thoughts)
    but you need to find that under Settings:Accessibility:Siri, not
    under "Siri & Search" (which is a little dumb).

    BTW, you can turn on the option to have Siri always show what it
    has interpreted as what you spoke. When I did that for your "go
    to/two/too one two nine nine nine pennsylvania street", it shows
    very quickly what happened.

    Also, BTW. Siri would happily give you "driving directions to manor
    care carmel indiana" (replying "Getting driving directions to HCR
    ManorCare..." And despite all the obscure little clubs Apple Maps
    didn't have data for, you somehow just overlooked that option,
    huh?

    Also, also, BTW, your vaunted Google Maps fails utterly to find
    YOUR business... ...even if I type it in so there can be no error.
    "FXXXXXXN LLC"

    Interesting you were happy to dox me, but didn't want to show that
    in your video, did you?

    Alan, Alan, Alan.
    Little Shit, Little Shit, Little Shit.

    Siri is voice recognition. Any time you say Hey Siri your device
    starts listening and Siri turns your voice commands to actions
    programmed into the system.
    No. Siri is a digital assistant that USES voice recognition.

    If Siri was only voice recognition, it wouldn't do anything with the
    words you spoke.

    Your first error was trying to use Siri as if it only did directions, so
    you thought simply speaking an address

    OK, I just followed your very precise driving directions search
    phrase. You are right it does work. BUT if I omit "Carmel Indiana" it fails. If say "Navigate To" or "Go To" it fails. Thanks, you make my point. Siri requires a very precise spoken phrase to find this
    address.
    Let's see the video...you lying Little Shit.
    Google does not. "Go To" and "Drive To" work just fine for
    Google Maps. Google is much better at interpreting context and
    performing the requested task.
    Because Google MAPS has a tighter FOCUS. Google MAPS assumes that
    anything you SPEAK to when tapping the microphone icon in Google MAPS is
    in the context of a LOCATION.

    What's the point of wanting "Hey Google" in place of "Hey Siri" on
    iPhone? It actually works where Siri fails.
    You talk about "Hey Google" doing something that "Hey Siri" doesn't (and expose that you don't actually know what it would do, because the
    activating phrase for Google's voice assistant is "Okay Google"), but no actual example has show you USING "Hey Google".

    Funny that.
    After all, I can choose
    my default browser and email. Why not voice commands too? Apple
    forces you to use Siri, a clearly inferior solution. You just proved
    it. Thanks very much.
    You just proved you're a lying Little Shit.

    Again.

    Finally, I only had one bar of cell reception in the garage. Not on
    the video there were some lookup failures, so I left the garage for
    better reception.
    Ah, so your video was edited.

    Got it.

    No, the video was not edited. When I started the video session I saw the issue, then started over.

    As for "Siri", when I use that word I refer to the system, including underlying components.

    You lied in the subject line "CarPlay isn't Siri" That implies you can use CarPlay without Siri. You can't.

    Use Siri to ask a question or to do something. Siri: Say something
    like: “Get directions to the nearest coffee shop” “Call >>>>>>> Eliza Block” “Play more songs like this one” “Show me >>>>>>> the map” “What’s my next meeting?” “What’s the weather >>>>>>> for today?”
    That shows you can use SIRI to control Carplay.

    Your statement is analogous to claiming a peripheral such
    as a printer "uses" the operating system.

    You have it backwards.

    Siri isn't the voice recognition facility of iOS.

    Siri is a digital assistant that USES the voice
    recognition facility of iOS.

    You can turn off Siri completely, and still use
    speech-to-text.

    In fact Siri has to be enabled for any voice commands to
    work on CarPlay devices.

    https://stereoupgrade.com/how-to-use-carplay-without-siri/



    In any event when I try to get that location via Siri on my
    iPad or iPhone the street number also drops out. It
    worked for you. Maybe voice recognition issue?
    Operator error, or...

    ...far more likely...

    ...deliberate misuse by you.

    Post a video including what YOU said.

    You've demanded video after video from me, so put up or
    shut up, you lying Little Shit.

    So, I now understand that you can use Apple Maps (and other
    Apple apps) with Siri turned off by using the mic icon in
    the search bar. Good to know. Thanks for pointing that out.
    It was utterly obvious, but you're wellcome.

    I have also discovered that you can use Google Maps with
    voice search by speaking Hey Siri/Hey Google asking for
    directions to an address. That brings up Google maps with
    spoken directions with no manual interaction.
    Sorry, but I would like to see a video of you bringing up
    Google Maps with "Hey Google" on an iPhone.
    That does not work within CarPlay though. Siri says you can't
    use Google search while driving. Good to know too.

    So, let me get this all straight before I make any more
    videos.

    You: " That shows you can use SIRI to control Carplay." Me:
    (Please at least spell CarPlay correctly!)

    Me: You claim that I can turn off Siri and still use CarPlay
    by opening Apple Maps in CarPlay and typing in a
    destination?
    I would expect so, yes. Frankly, I'd expect you could still
    use voice-to-text, but I don't know precisely how it works
    because I haven't had a lot of opportunity to play with CarPlay
    as my BMW doesn't have it.

    You: Post a video with sound showing the 12999 address error
    with Siri lookup and you will admit it's really an error?
    I wrote nothing remotely like that.

    Here is what I plan to do: 1. Use a second phone to record
    the video in order to capture sound. 2. Turn off Siri. 3. Use
    the mic in the Maps search bar to try and find the 12999
    address by dictation only. 4. Turn Siri back on. 5.
    Retraining Siri voice recognition is required, and will be
    performed. 6. Use Siri to try and find the 12999 address.
    How about you do the last part first, Little Shit?

    How about you simply make a video including your voice saying:

    "Hey Siri, driving directions to 12999 Pennsylvania Street".

    ...hmmm?

    Well, I have had 4 years of CarPlay experience spread over 3
    cars. My Honda Insight, the current Accord and the wife's 2015
    CRV with a retrofit Pioneer entertainment system/wireless CarPlay
    have taught me a lot. At least you were honest about lack of
    first hand knowledge.
    Yes. I am by my nature, very honest.
    Hint, CarPlay has no non-Siri option. As I show in the video
    below CarPlay will not even run unless Siri is active on your
    controlling iPhone. Siri is the only CarPlay voice command.
    So that is a CHOICE Apple has made; most likely because they want
    you to not interact with a touchscreen unless there is no other
    way.

    The default is "Hey Google": https://support.google.com/assistant/answer/9249169?hl=en

    You don't have CarPlay in your car and you don't have much experience with Google Assistant. You lie when you imply to know these technologies based on extensive personal use.

    Over on rec.sport.golf your posts are getting zero response. They have you figured out. I'm about the last person on newsgroups you can get a good argument out of. Will you miss me if I go away too?

    Since I'm already a such a liar already maybe I'll just have to reveal my secret about you after all then go away for good. :-)

    speech-to-text.

    In fact Siri has to be enabled for any voice commands to
    work on CarPlay devices.

    In any event when I try to get that location via Siri on my
    iPad or iPhone the street number also drops out. It
    worked for you. Maybe voice recognition issue?
    Operator error, or...

    ...far more likely...

    ...deliberate misuse by you.

    Post a video including what YOU said.

    You've demanded video after video from me, so put up or
    shut up, you lying Little Shit.

    So, I now understand that you can use Apple Maps (and other
    Apple apps) with Siri turned off by using the mic icon in
    the search bar. Good to know. Thanks for pointing that out.
    It was utterly obvious, but you're wellcome.

    I have also discovered that you can use Google Maps with
    voice search by speaking Hey Siri/Hey Google asking for
    directions to an address. That brings up Google maps with
    spoken directions with no manual interaction.
    Sorry, but I would like to see a video of you bringing up
    Google Maps with "Hey Google" on an iPhone.
    That does not work within CarPlay though. Siri says you can't
    use Google search while driving. Good to know too.

    So, let me get this all straight before I make any more
    videos.

    You: " That shows you can use SIRI to control Carplay." Me:
    (Please at least spell CarPlay correctly!)

    Me: You claim that I can turn off Siri and still use CarPlay
    by opening Apple Maps in CarPlay and typing in a
    destination?
    I would expect so, yes. Frankly, I'd expect you could still
    use voice-to-text, but I don't know precisely how it works
    because I haven't had a lot of opportunity to play with CarPlay
    as my BMW doesn't have it.

    You: Post a video with sound showing the 12999 address error
    with Siri lookup and you will admit it's really an error?
    I wrote nothing remotely like that.

    Here is what I plan to do: 1. Use a second phone to record
    the video in order to capture sound. 2. Turn off Siri. 3. Use
    the mic in the Maps search bar to try and find the 12999
    address by dictation only. 4. Turn Siri back on. 5.
    Retraining Siri voice recognition is required, and will be
    performed. 6. Use Siri to try and find the 12999 address.
    How about you do the last part first, Little Shit?

    How about you simply make a video including your voice saying:

    "Hey Siri, driving directions to 12999 Pennsylvania Street".

    ...hmmm?

    Well, I have had 4 years of CarPlay experience spread over 3
    cars. My Honda Insight, the current Accord and the wife's 2015
    CRV with a retrofit Pioneer entertainment system/wireless CarPlay
    have taught me a lot. At least you were honest about lack of
    first hand knowledge.
    Yes. I am by my nature, very honest.
    Hint, CarPlay has no non-Siri option. As I show in the video
    below CarPlay will not even run unless Siri is active on your
    controlling iPhone. Siri is the only CarPlay voice command.
    So that is a CHOICE Apple has made; most likely because they want
    you to not interact with a touchscreen unless there is no other
    way.
    Hello Google verbal search is not permitted on the CarPlay
    platform.
    So? How is that relevant?
    FYI you can get to Google Maps verbal search with 3 finger
    touches: Map screen/Search/Microphone icon is the touch
    combination once Google Maps is in full screen mode.
    Yup. iOS. Map screen, tap text entry box, tap microphone icon in
    keyboard.
    If not on CarPlay no touching is required for Google Maps
    directions:
    Stop mixing these two things up.
    Hey Siri/Hey Google/Go to <say destination address> takes you to
    Google Maps with the route up on Google Maps and ready to be
    started from current location. Why not on CarPlay? Apple wants
    you to use THEIR inferior voice response and Maps. If you are
    already in the Maps app and make a Siri destination request why
    does Siri need "navigate to..."? Makes no sense to me.
    Because, you incredible simpleton:

    SIRI IS NOT JUST VOICE RECOGNITION.

    You can use Siri while you happen to be looking at the Maps app...

    ...because Siri can do other things!

    You're not using Google's equivalent of Siri when you tap the
    microphone icon from within Google maps. That is equivalent to
    tapping the microphone icon in Apple

    Sorry it took a few days, but here is the detailed Car Play
    video with narration. In the car, in the garage and out, using
    Siri/Apple Maps and Google/Google Maps. Siri fails on multiple
    levels. Car Play will not even run unless Siri is enabled. Why?
    Google Maps needs 3 tries to find bakerMedia, but otherwise
    flawless.

    It's a lot more detailed and honest video than your attempt by
    someone with limited experience. Note that the upload finished
    at about 1720 EDT today 19 May. It takes Google some time to do
    their processing and make it playable from the cloud. Suggest you
    wait a few hours before trying access. 1.28 GB 60 FPS 1080p HD.

    So, just by retraining "Hey Siri", you should know that Siri does a lot
    more than just allow you to get directions.

    And you said "Go to" when I EXPLICITLY told you what to say:
    How about you simply make a video including your voice saying:

    "Hey Siri, driving directions to 12999 Pennsylvania Street".
    Why? Because you are a liar done to your core.

    Note an issue that you need to consider:

    Can Siri tell if you said:

    "go to one two nine nine nine"

    or

    "go two one two nine nine nine"

    ...hmmm?

    And show a different outcome for your home address...

    ...because you used a different method to invoke Siri.

    You it the "Search" button within the Maps app, so Siri already
    knows that whatever you say next is going to be a destination. The
    clue was Siri saying "Directions to where?".

    And "Corsair Field, Danville Indiana" is a VERY obscure CLUB. Not
    a business at all.

    "Indianapolis R/C flyers, [mumble]town" is actually called
    "Indianapolis R/C MODELLERS", but that was just an error on your
    part, right, Little Shit?

    And this isn't about Siri being perfect. It's about you (now)
    deliberately misusing it to try to "prove" your points.

    But you'd better use Google Maps in CarPlay while you're parked,
    him...

    ...anyone can see how long your attention would have to be on a
    touchscreen rather than on the road.

    As for not finding "baker media vancouver"...

    ...the only possible purpose for that is your continued attempt to
    stalk/dox me.

    And Siri's successes and failures have NOTHING to do with whether
    you are inside or outside your garage.

    If you think any of this is at all based on "cell reception",
    you're not just a liar... ...you're an ignoramus. Siri, Apple Maps
    (and not it isn't "Apple Maps in Siri"; that's just another
    stunning misunderstanding of what is going on) and Google Maps both
    use voice-to-text processing to convert what you say into text and
    then used their designed processes to search their respective
    databases for an answer.

    Apple's location database doesn't have "Corsair Field, Danville
    Indiana" in it. It has nothing to with Siri whatsoever. Try typing
    it in on your iPad or iPhone and you'll get precisely the same
    result.

    Now, How about you simply make a video including your voice
    saying:

    "Hey Siri, driving directions to 12999 Pennsylvania Street". And
    how about you admit that I showed you a video of my iPhone working
    perfectly. (Although, I do admit that it gets confused by
    "Carmel"—because of "Carmel-by-the-sea" being so much closer to
    me—and so I say "Indianapolis")

    But my bet is that you did try out my explicit instructions and
    they DID work.

    So that's why you deliberately set out to make Siri fail by saying
    "go to".

    One thing that I will say to you (much more for the benefit of
    others) is that you can vary how long Siri will wait for to keep
    speaking (how long you can pause while you collect your thoughts)
    but you need to find that under Settings:Accessibility:Siri, not
    under "Siri & Search" (which is a little dumb).

    BTW, you can turn on the option to have Siri always show what it
    has interpreted as what you spoke. When I did that for your "go
    to/two/too one two nine nine nine pennsylvania street", it shows
    very quickly what happened.

    Also, BTW. Siri would happily give you "driving directions to manor
    care carmel indiana" (replying "Getting driving directions to HCR
    ManorCare..." And despite all the obscure little clubs Apple Maps
    didn't have data for, you somehow just overlooked that option,
    huh?

    Also, also, BTW, your vaunted Google Maps fails utterly to find
    YOUR business... ...even if I type it in so there can be no error.
    "FXXXXXXN LLC"

    Interesting you were happy to dox me, but didn't want to show that
    in your video, did you?

    Alan, Alan, Alan.
    Little Shit, Little Shit, Little Shit.

    Siri is voice recognition. Any time you say Hey Siri your device
    starts listening and Siri turns your voice commands to actions
    programmed into the system.
    No. Siri is a digital assistant that USES voice recognition.

    If Siri was only voice recognition, it wouldn't do anything with the
    words you spoke.

    Your first error was trying to use Siri as if it only did directions, so
    you thought simply speaking an address

    OK, I just followed your very precise driving directions search
    phrase. You are right it does work. BUT if I omit "Carmel Indiana" it
    fails. If say "Navigate To" or "Go To" it fails. Thanks, you make my
    point. Siri requires a very precise spoken phrase to find this
    address.
    Let's see the video...you lying Little Shit.
    Google does not. "Go To" and "Drive To" work just fine for
    Google Maps. Google is much better at interpreting context and
    performing the requested task.
    Because Google MAPS has a tighter FOCUS. Google MAPS assumes that
    anything you SPEAK to when tapping the microphone icon in Google MAPS is
    in the context of a LOCATION.

    What's the point of wanting "Hey Google" in place of "Hey Siri" on
    iPhone? It actually works where Siri fails.
    You talk about "Hey Google" doing something that "Hey Siri" doesn't (and
    expose that you don't actually know what it would do, because the
    activating phrase for Google's voice assistant is "Okay Google"), but no
    actual example has show you USING "Hey Google".

    Funny that.
    After all, I can choose
    my default browser and email. Why not voice commands too? Apple
    forces you to use Siri, a clearly inferior solution. You just proved
    it. Thanks very much.
    You just proved you're a lying Little Shit.

    Again.

    Finally, I only had one bar of cell reception in the garage. Not on
    the video there were some lookup failures, so I left the garage for
    better reception.
    Ah, so your video was edited.

    Got it.

    No, the video was not edited. When I started the video session I saw the issue, then started over.

    So you say...

    ...but you also deliberately avoided using Siri the way you were told it
    would work.


    As for "Siri", when I use that word I refer to the system, including underlying components.

    You lied in the subject line "CarPlay isn't Siri" That implies you can use CarPlay without Siri. You can't.

    Nope. CarPlay isn't Siri. Learn the difference between "imply" and "infer".

    "You talk about "Hey Google" doing something that "Hey Siri" doesn't
    (and expose that you don't actually know what it would do, because
    the activating phrase for Google's voice assistant is "Okay Google"),
    but no actual example has show you USING "Hey Google"."

    We have 7 Google Assistant speaker devices in our home. How many do
    you have?

    "OK Google" "Hi Google" and "Hey Google" all activate a device with
    Google Assistant voice response.

    The default is "Hey Google": https://support.google.com/assistant/answer/9249169?hl=en

    You don't have CarPlay in your car and you don't have much experience
    with Google Assistant. You lie when you imply to know these
    technologies based on extensive personal use.

    Every Google device I've interacted with uses "Okay Google"

    But being wrong about that isn't a lie.

    Lying is pretending you can't understand that tapping a microphone icon
    within a mapping app and speaking an address is different from saying
    just an address to a multi-purpose digital assistant.


    Over on rec.sport.golf your posts are getting zero response. They
    have you figured out. I'm about the last person on newsgroups you can
    get a good argument out of. Will you miss me if I go away too?

    Since I'm already a such a liar already maybe I'll just have to
    reveal my secret about you after all then go away for good. :-)


    Threats, you Little Shit?

    Yeah... ...that's about your style.

    In any event when I try to get that location via Siri on my
    iPad or iPhone the street number also drops out. It
    worked for you. Maybe voice recognition issue?
    Operator error, or...

    ...far more likely...

    ...deliberate misuse by you.

    Post a video including what YOU said.

    You've demanded video after video from me, so put up
    or shut up, you lying Little Shit.

    So, I now understand that you can use Apple Maps (and
    other Apple apps) with Siri turned off by using the mic
    icon in the search bar. Good to know. Thanks for pointing
    that out.
    It was utterly obvious, but you're wellcome.

    I have also discovered that you can use Google Maps with
    voice search by speaking Hey Siri/Hey Google asking for
    directions to an address. That brings up Google maps
    with spoken directions with no manual interaction.
    Sorry, but I would like to see a video of you bringing up
    Google Maps with "Hey Google" on an iPhone.
    That does not work within CarPlay though. Siri says you
    can't use Google search while driving. Good to know too.

    So, let me get this all straight before I make any more
    videos.

    You: " That shows you can use SIRI to control Carplay."
    Me: (Please at least spell CarPlay correctly!)

    Me: You claim that I can turn off Siri and still use
    CarPlay by opening Apple Maps in CarPlay and typing in a
    destination?
    I would expect so, yes. Frankly, I'd expect you could
    still use voice-to-text, but I don't know precisely how it
    works because I haven't had a lot of opportunity to play
    with CarPlay as my BMW doesn't have it.

    You: Post a video with sound showing the 12999 address
    error with Siri lookup and you will admit it's really an
    error?
    I wrote nothing remotely like that.

    Here is what I plan to do: 1. Use a second phone to
    record the video in order to capture sound. 2. Turn off
    Siri. 3. Use the mic in the Maps search bar to try and
    find the 12999 address by dictation only. 4. Turn Siri
    back on. 5. Retraining Siri voice recognition is
    required, and will be performed. 6. Use Siri to try and
    find the 12999 address.
    How about you do the last part first, Little Shit?

    How about you simply make a video including your voice
    saying:

    "Hey Siri, driving directions to 12999 Pennsylvania
    Street".

    ...hmmm?

    Well, I have had 4 years of CarPlay experience spread over 3
    cars. My Honda Insight, the current Accord and the wife's
    2015 CRV with a retrofit Pioneer entertainment
    system/wireless CarPlay have taught me a lot. At least you
    were honest about lack of first hand knowledge.
    Yes. I am by my nature, very honest.
    Hint, CarPlay has no non-Siri option. As I show in the video
    below CarPlay will not even run unless Siri is active on
    your controlling iPhone. Siri is the only CarPlay voice
    command.
    So that is a CHOICE Apple has made; most likely because they
    want you to not interact with a touchscreen unless there is no
    other way.
    Hello Google verbal search is not permitted on the CarPlay
    platform.
    So? How is that relevant?
    FYI you can get to Google Maps verbal search with 3 finger
    touches: Map screen/Search/Microphone icon is the touch
    combination once Google Maps is in full screen mode.
    Yup. iOS. Map screen, tap text entry box, tap microphone icon
    in keyboard.
    If not on CarPlay no touching is required for Google Maps
    directions:
    Stop mixing these two things up.
    Hey Siri/Hey Google/Go to <say destination address> takes you
    to Google Maps with the route up on Google Maps and ready to
    be started from current location. Why not on CarPlay? Apple
    wants you to use THEIR inferior voice response and Maps. If
    you are already in the Maps app and make a Siri destination
    request why does Siri need "navigate to..."? Makes no sense
    to me.
    Because, you incredible simpleton:

    SIRI IS NOT JUST VOICE RECOGNITION.

    You can use Siri while you happen to be looking at the Maps
    app...

    ...because Siri can do other things!

    You're not using Google's equivalent of Siri when you tap the
    microphone icon from within Google maps. That is equivalent to
    tapping the microphone icon in Apple

    Sorry it took a few days, but here is the detailed Car Play
    video with narration. In the car, in the garage and out,
    using Siri/Apple Maps and Google/Google Maps. Siri fails on
    multiple levels. Car Play will not even run unless Siri is
    enabled. Why? Google Maps needs 3 tries to find bakerMedia,
    but otherwise flawless.

    It's a lot more detailed and honest video than your attempt
    by someone with limited experience. Note that the upload
    finished at about 1720 EDT today 19 May. It takes Google some
    time to do their processing and make it playable from the
    cloud. Suggest you wait a few hours before trying access.

    So, just by retraining "Hey Siri", you should know that Siri does a lot
    more than just allow you to get directions.

    And you said "Go to" when I EXPLICITLY told you what to say:
    How about you simply make a video including your voice
    saying:

    "Hey Siri, driving directions to 12999 Pennsylvania
    Street".
    Why? Because you are a liar done to your core.

    Note an issue that you need to consider:

    Can Siri tell if you said:

    "go to one two nine nine nine"

    or

    "go two one two nine nine nine"

    ...hmmm?

    And show a different outcome for your home address...

    ...because you used a different method to invoke Siri.

    You it the "Search" button within the Maps app, so Siri
    already knows that whatever you say next is going to be a
    destination. The clue was Siri saying "Directions to where?".

    And "Corsair Field, Danville Indiana" is a VERY obscure CLUB.
    Not a business at all.

    "Indianapolis R/C flyers, [mumble]town" is actually called
    "Indianapolis R/C MODELLERS", but that was just an error on
    your part, right, Little Shit?

    And this isn't about Siri being perfect. It's about you (now)
    deliberately misusing it to try to "prove" your points.

    But you'd better use Google Maps in CarPlay while you're
    parked, him...

    ...anyone can see how long your attention would have to be on
    a touchscreen rather than on the road.

    As for not finding "baker media vancouver"...

    ...the only possible purpose for that is your continued attempt
    to stalk/dox me.

    And Siri's successes and failures have NOTHING to do with
    whether you are inside or outside your garage.

    If you think any of this is at all based on "cell reception",
    you're not just a liar... ...you're an ignoramus. Siri, Apple
    Maps (and not it isn't "Apple Maps in Siri"; that's just
    another stunning misunderstanding of what is going on) and
    Google Maps both use voice-to-text processing to convert what
    you say into text and then used their designed processes to
    search their respective databases for an answer.

    Apple's location database doesn't have "Corsair Field,
    Danville Indiana" in it. It has nothing to with Siri
    whatsoever. Try typing it in on your iPad or iPhone and you'll
    get precisely the same result.

    Now, How about you simply make a video including your voice
    saying:

    "Hey Siri, driving directions to 12999 Pennsylvania Street".
    And how about you admit that I showed you a video of my iPhone
    working perfectly. (Although, I do admit that it gets confused
    by "Carmel"—because of "Carmel-by-the-sea" being so much closer
    to me—and so I say "Indianapolis")

    But my bet is that you did try out my explicit instructions
    and they DID work.

    So that's why you deliberately set out to make Siri fail by
    saying "go to".

    One thing that I will say to you (much more for the benefit of
    others) is that you can vary how long Siri will wait for to
    keep speaking (how long you can pause while you collect your
    thoughts) but you need to find that under
    Settings:Accessibility:Siri, not under "Siri & Search" (which
    is a little dumb).

    BTW, you can turn on the option to have Siri always show what
    it has interpreted as what you spoke. When I did that for your
    "go to/two/too one two nine nine nine pennsylvania street", it
    shows very quickly what happened.

    Also, BTW. Siri would happily give you "driving directions to
    manor care carmel indiana" (replying "Getting driving
    directions to HCR ManorCare..." And despite all the obscure
    little clubs Apple Maps didn't have data for, you somehow just
    overlooked that option, huh?

    Also, also, BTW, your vaunted Google Maps fails utterly to
    find YOUR business... ...even if I type it in so there can be
    no error. "FXXXXXXN LLC"

    Interesting you were happy to dox me, but didn't want to show
    that in your video, did you?

    Alan, Alan, Alan.
    Little Shit, Little Shit, Little Shit.

    Siri is voice recognition. Any time you say Hey Siri your device
    starts listening and Siri turns your voice commands to actions
    programmed into the system.
    No. Siri is a digital assistant that USES voice recognition.

    If Siri was only voice recognition, it wouldn't do anything with
    the words you spoke.

    Your first error was trying to use Siri as if it only did
    directions, so you thought simply speaking an address

    OK, I just followed your very precise driving directions search
    phrase. You are right it does work. BUT if I omit "Carmel
    Indiana" it fails. If say "Navigate To" or "Go To" it fails.
    Thanks, you make my point. Siri requires a very precise spoken
    phrase to find this address.
    Let's see the video...you lying Little Shit.
    Google does not. "Go To" and "Drive To" work just fine for Google
    Maps. Google is much better at interpreting context and
    performing the requested task.
    Because Google MAPS has a tighter FOCUS. Google MAPS assumes that
    anything you SPEAK to when tapping the microphone icon in Google
    MAPS is in the context of a LOCATION.

    What's the point of wanting "Hey Google" in place of "Hey Siri"
    on iPhone? It actually works where Siri fails.
    You talk about "Hey Google" doing something that "Hey Siri" doesn't
    (and expose that you don't actually know what it would do, because
    the activating phrase for Google's voice assistant is "Okay
    Google"), but no actual example has show you USING "Hey Google".

    Funny that.
    After all, I can choose my default browser and email. Why not
    voice commands too? Apple forces you to use Siri, a clearly
    inferior solution. You just proved it. Thanks very much.
    You just proved you're a lying Little Shit.

    Again.

    Finally, I only had one bar of cell reception in the garage. Not
    on the video there were some lookup failures, so I left the
    garage for better reception.
    Ah, so your video was edited.

    Got it.

    You lie again when you said:

    "You talk about "Hey Google" doing something that "Hey Siri" doesn't
    (and expose that you don't actually know what it would do, because
    the activating phrase for Google's voice assistant is "Okay Google"),

    "Hey Google" works! You did not even know that Asshole LiarBoy! "OK Google" and "Hi Google" also work.

    You can't find my business because it's no longer active and was never registered with Google.

    By your definition being wrong is a lie! It's only not a lie when you are wrong!

    find the 12999 address.
    How about you do the last part first, Little Shit?

    How about you simply make a video including your voice
    saying:

    "Hey Siri, driving directions to 12999 Pennsylvania
    Street".

    ...hmmm?

    Well, I have had 4 years of CarPlay experience spread over 3
    cars. My Honda Insight, the current Accord and the wife's
    2015 CRV with a retrofit Pioneer entertainment
    system/wireless CarPlay have taught me a lot. At least you
    were honest about lack of first hand knowledge.
    Yes. I am by my nature, very honest.
    Hint, CarPlay has no non-Siri option. As I show in the video
    below CarPlay will not even run unless Siri is active on
    your controlling iPhone. Siri is the only CarPlay voice
    command.
    So that is a CHOICE Apple has made; most likely because they
    want you to not interact with a touchscreen unless there is no
    other way.
    Hello Google verbal search is not permitted on the CarPlay
    platform.
    So? How is that relevant?
    FYI you can get to Google Maps verbal search with 3 finger
    touches: Map screen/Search/Microphone icon is the touch
    combination once Google Maps is in full screen mode.
    Yup. iOS. Map screen, tap text entry box, tap microphone icon
    in keyboard.
    If not on CarPlay no touching is required for Google Maps
    directions:
    Stop mixing these two things up.
    Hey Siri/Hey Google/Go to <say destination address> takes you
    to Google Maps with the route up on Google Maps and ready to
    be started from current location. Why not on CarPlay? Apple
    wants you to use THEIR inferior voice response and Maps. If
    you are already in the Maps app and make a Siri destination
    request why does Siri need "navigate to..."? Makes no sense
    to me.
    Because, you incredible simpleton:

    SIRI IS NOT JUST VOICE RECOGNITION.

    You can use Siri while you happen to be looking at the Maps
    app...

    ...because Siri can do other things!

    You're not using Google's equivalent of Siri when you tap the
    microphone icon from within Google maps. That is equivalent to
    tapping the microphone icon in Apple

    Sorry it took a few days, but here is the detailed Car Play
    video with narration. In the car, in the garage and out,
    using Siri/Apple Maps and Google/Google Maps. Siri fails on
    multiple levels. Car Play will not even run unless Siri is
    enabled. Why? Google Maps needs 3 tries to find bakerMedia,
    but otherwise flawless.

    It's a lot more detailed and honest video than your attempt
    by someone with limited experience. Note that the upload
    finished at about 1720 EDT today 19 May. It takes Google some
    time to do their processing and make it playable from the
    cloud. Suggest you wait a few hours before trying access.

    So, just by retraining "Hey Siri", you should know that Siri does a lot >>>>>> more than just allow you to get directions.

    And you said "Go to" when I EXPLICITLY told you what to say:
    How about you simply make a video including your voice
    saying:

    "Hey Siri, driving directions to 12999 Pennsylvania
    Street".
    Why? Because you are a liar done to your core.

    Note an issue that you need to consider:

    Can Siri tell if you said:

    "go to one two nine nine nine"

    or

    "go two one two nine nine nine"

    ...hmmm?

    And show a different outcome for your home address...

    ...because you used a different method to invoke Siri.

    You it the "Search" button within the Maps app, so Siri
    already knows that whatever you say next is going to be a
    destination. The clue was Siri saying "Directions to where?".

    And "Corsair Field, Danville Indiana" is a VERY obscure CLUB.
    Not a business at all.

    "Indianapolis R/C flyers, [mumble]town" is actually called
    "Indianapolis R/C MODELLERS", but that was just an error on
    your part, right, Little Shit?

    And this isn't about Siri being perfect. It's about you (now)
    deliberately misusing it to try to "prove" your points.

    But you'd better use Google Maps in CarPlay while you're
    parked, him...

    ...anyone can see how long your attention would have to be on
    a touchscreen rather than on the road.

    As for not finding "baker media vancouver"...

    ...the only possible purpose for that is your continued attempt
    to stalk/dox me.

    And Siri's successes and failures have NOTHING to do with
    whether you are inside or outside your garage.

    If you think any of this is at all based on "cell reception",
    you're not just a liar... ...you're an ignoramus. Siri, Apple
    Maps (and not it isn't "Apple Maps in Siri"; that's just
    another stunning misunderstanding of what is going on) and
    Google Maps both use voice-to-text processing to convert what
    you say into text and then used their designed processes to
    search their respective databases for an answer.

    Apple's location database doesn't have "Corsair Field,
    Danville Indiana" in it. It has nothing to with Siri
    whatsoever. Try typing it in on your iPad or iPhone and you'll
    get precisely the same result.

    Now, How about you simply make a video including your voice
    saying:

    "Hey Siri, driving directions to 12999 Pennsylvania Street".
    And how about you admit that I showed you a video of my iPhone
    working perfectly. (Although, I do admit that it gets confused
    by "Carmel"—because of "Carmel-by-the-sea" being so much closer
    to me—and so I say "Indianapolis")

    But my bet is that you did try out my explicit instructions
    and they DID work.

    So that's why you deliberately set out to make Siri fail by
    saying "go to".

    One thing that I will say to you (much more for the benefit of
    others) is that you can vary how long Siri will wait for to
    keep speaking (how long you can pause while you collect your
    thoughts) but you need to find that under
    Settings:Accessibility:Siri, not under "Siri & Search" (which
    is a little dumb).

    BTW, you can turn on the option to have Siri always show what
    it has interpreted as what you spoke. When I did that for your
    "go to/two/too one two nine nine nine pennsylvania street", it
    shows very quickly what happened.

    Also, BTW. Siri would happily give you "driving directions to
    manor care carmel indiana" (replying "Getting driving
    directions to HCR ManorCare..." And despite all the obscure
    little clubs Apple Maps didn't have data for, you somehow just
    overlooked that option, huh?

    Also, also, BTW, your vaunted Google Maps fails utterly to
    find YOUR business... ...even if I type it in so there can be
    no error. "FXXXXXXN LLC"

    Interesting you were happy to dox me, but didn't want to show
    that in your video, did you?

    Alan, Alan, Alan.
    Little Shit, Little Shit, Little Shit.

    Siri is voice recognition. Any time you say Hey Siri your device
    starts listening and Siri turns your voice commands to actions
    programmed into the system.
    No. Siri is a digital assistant that USES voice recognition.

    If Siri was only voice recognition, it wouldn't do anything with
    the words you spoke.

    Your first error was trying to use Siri as if it only did
    directions, so you thought simply speaking an address

    OK, I just followed your very precise driving directions search
    phrase. You are right it does work. BUT if I omit "Carmel
    Indiana" it fails. If say "Navigate To" or "Go To" it fails.
    Thanks, you make my point. Siri requires a very precise spoken
    phrase to find this address.
    Let's see the video...you lying Little Shit.
    Google does not. "Go To" and "Drive To" work just fine for Google
    Maps. Google is much better at interpreting context and
    performing the requested task.
    Because Google MAPS has a tighter FOCUS. Google MAPS assumes that
    anything you SPEAK to when tapping the microphone icon in Google
    MAPS is in the context of a LOCATION.

    What's the point of wanting "Hey Google" in place of "Hey Siri"
    on iPhone? It actually works where Siri fails.
    You talk about "Hey Google" doing something that "Hey Siri" doesn't
    (and expose that you don't actually know what it would do, because
    the activating phrase for Google's voice assistant is "Okay
    Google"), but no actual example has show you USING "Hey Google".

    Funny that.
    After all, I can choose my default browser and email. Why not
    voice commands too? Apple forces you to use Siri, a clearly
    inferior solution. You just proved it. Thanks very much.
    You just proved you're a lying Little Shit.

    Again.

    Finally, I only had one bar of cell reception in the garage. Not
    on the video there were some lookup failures, so I left the
    garage for better reception.
    Ah, so your video was edited.

    Got it.

    You lie again when you said:

    "You talk about "Hey Google" doing something that "Hey Siri" doesn't
    (and expose that you don't actually know what it would do, because
    the activating phrase for Google's voice assistant is "Okay Google"),
    but no actual example has show you USING "Hey Google"."

    We have 7 Google Assistant speaker devices in our home. How many do
    you have?

    "OK Google" "Hi Google" and "Hey Google" all activate a device with
    Google Assistant voice response.

    The default is "Hey Google":
    https://support.google.com/assistant/answer/9249169?hl=en

    You don't have CarPlay in your car and you don't have much experience
    with Google Assistant. You lie when you imply to know these
    technologies based on extensive personal use.
    Every Google device I've interacted with uses "Okay Google"

    But being wrong about that isn't a lie.

    Lying is pretending you can't understand that tapping a microphone icon
    within a mapping app and speaking an address is different from saying
    just an address to a multi-purpose digital assistant.

    Over on rec.sport.golf your posts are getting zero response. They
    have you figured out. I'm about the last person on newsgroups you can
    get a good argument out of. Will you miss me if I go away too?

    Since I'm already a such a liar already maybe I'll just have to
    reveal my secret about you after all then go away for good. :-)
    Threats, you Little Shit?

    Yeah... ...that's about your style.

    This is a lie YOU: "and expose that you don't actually know what it would do, because
    the activating phrase for Google's voice assistant is "Okay Google"

    Sorry, but they clearly changed it at some point:

    'Changing "Ok Google" to another phrase

    Is it possible to change the trigger phrase "ok Google" to something
    else? Example being like how they say computer on Star trek'

    <https://support.google.com/assistant/thread/1057203/changing-ok-google-to-another-phrase>

    There would be no need for this thread if the activating phrase hadn't
    been "OK Google" at one point.


    "Hey Google" works! You did not even know that Asshole LiarBoy! "OK Google" and "Hi Google" also work.

    If you're example of "Hey Google" working is your erroneous use of it in
    the middle of saying, "Hey Siri Hey Google Google maps", then let me
    school you...

    ...again.

    Siri manage to interpret that utterance correctly, but that doesn't mean
    "Hey Google" was correct or even required.

    "Hey Siri Google Maps" works just as well...

    ...because as I've now tried to tell you nearly too many times to count...

    ...Siri is a multi-function, voice-activated, digital assistant...

    ...and one of those functions is to launch apps such as Google Maps.

    "Hey Siri Unifi" launches the Unifi app to oversee Ubiquiti network
    equipment.

    "Hey Siri Messenger" launches Facebook's Messenger

    ...and so on.

    Now there are some (at least one—I haven't set out to make a
    comprehensive list) specific instances where simply stating an app's
    name won't result in that behaviour. For a couple of instances:

    Say "Hey Siri messages" and because messaging in a built-in part of iOS,
    Siri will tell you if you have any unread messages and then read them to
    you.

    And despite there being an app called "Weather", if you just say "Hey
    Siri weather", Siri replies with the current temperature and shows the
    current conditions on the screen.

    In either of those instances, in order to have Siri launch the app with
    those names, you just say "Hey Siri luanch <appName>"


    You can't find my business because it's no longer active and was never registered with Google.

    By your definition being wrong is a lie! It's only not a lie when you are wrong!

    That's a lie, you Little Shit. I've never once said you were lying for
    simply being wrong.
