The following are Alexander's Top 10 favorite Siri features
- Home automation! I use Siri to turn on my office, living room and bedroom lights, and control my smart thermostat. In the near future I would like to completely automate my home.
- Placing a phone call. I use Siri to place all types of calls but I use Siri to call all 1-800 numbers especially.
- Word spelling. Im not the best speller. Having Siri spell out the word is a very handy feature!
- Playing music. I listen to music almost everyday. Just telling Siri to play whatever song is so much easier then looking it up! (until Siri hears me differently!).
- Identifying a song. Sometimes you hear a song on tv or the radio and you want to know the title. Now you can ask Siri “What is this song”.
- Opening Apps. Can’t find an app. No problem ask Siri to launch that app.
- Cooking (Timer). Sometimes while cooking you need to set a timer. Setting a timer with Siri is easier then setting one up on the annoying stove or microwave.
- Listening to voicemails.
- Basic Math
- Asking random things such as “Beatbox” “Rap” etc.
