Siri even knows who your relatives are by looking at your personal contact card. See “Telling Siri about yourself ” on page 41 . To ask about contacts, you can say: What’s Michael’s address?  What is Susan Park’s phone number?  When is my wife’s birthday?  Show Jennifer’s home email address  What’s my brother’s work address?  To find contacts:Show Jason Russell  Find people named Park  Who is Michael Manning?  If you’re not sure which phone number to use for a contact, ask Siri to show the person’s contact information.

Other items are active as well—tap an email address to start a new email message, or tap the FaceTime button to speak face to face. “Find John” may help you narrow down the list of possibilities, if you know it’s John but can’t remember the last name. 53Chapter 4 Siri
Notes Use Siri to verbally jot down notes, or look up notes you’ve already made. Say things like:Note that I spent $12 on lunch  Note: check out that new Alicia Keys album  Find my restaurant note  Create a reading list note  Add Tom Sawyer to my reading list note  Siri displays the note for you to review. To edit the note, tap it. Siri opens the Notes app for you, and you can edit the note by typing or dictating. See “Dictation ” on page 55 . Safari You can do a web search with Siri—specify which search engine to use, or search a site like Wikipedia. For example: Search the web for Bora Bora  Search for vegetarian pasta recipes  Search the web for best cable plans  Google the war of 1812  Search Wikipedia for Abraham Lincoln  Search for news about the World Cup  Bing Alicia Keys  Siri opens Safari and performs the search you request. If you don’t specify the search engine, Siri uses the one specified in Safari settings. Go to Settings > Safari. WolframAlpha Ask Siri to provide some information or perform a calculation, and Siri might refer to WolframAlpha (www.wolframalpha.com). Responses often include related info. Some sample questions and requests: How many calories in a bagel?  What is an 18% tip on $86.74 for four people?  Who’s buried in Grant’s tomb?  How long do dogs live?  What is the Gossamer Condor?  54Chapter 4 Siri

Everest?  How deep is the Atlantic Ocean?  What’s the price of gasoline in Chicago?  Dictation When Siri is turned on, you can also dictate text. See “Dictation” on page 27 . Although you can compose email, text messages, and other text by talking directly with Siri, you might prefer dictation. Dictation lets you edit a message instead of replacing the entire text. Dictation also gives you more time to think while composing. Siri understands pauses to mean you finished talking for the moment, and takes that opportunity to respond. While this lets you have a natural conversation with Siri, Siri might interrupt you before you’re really done, because you paused a moment to think. With dictation, you can pause as frequently as you like, and resume talking when you’re ready. You can also start composing text using Siri, then continue using dictation. For example, you can create an email with Siri, then tap the draft to open the message in Mail. In Mail, you can complete or edit the message and make other changes, such as adding or removing recipients, revising the subject, or changing the account you’re sending the email from. 55Chapter 4 Siri

Important: You should not rely on wireless devices for essential communications, such as medical emergencies. Use of iPhone to call emergency services may not work in all areas or all operating conditions. Emergency numbers and services vary by area, and sometimes an emergency call cannot be placed due to network availability or environmental interference. Some cellular networks may not accept an emergency call from iPhone if iPhone is not activated, if iPhone is not compatible with or configured to operate on a particular cellular network, or (when applicable) if iPhone does not have a SIM or if the SIM is PIN-locked. If you’re on a FaceTime video call, you must end that call before you can call an emergency number. FaceTime FaceTime video calls (iPhone 4 or later) let you see as well as hear the person you’re talking to. You can make a video call to someone with a Mac or iOS device that supports FaceTime. No setup is needed, but you must have a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet. By default, FaceTime uses the front camera so the person you call can see your face; switch to the rear camera to share what you see around you. Note: FaceTime may not be available in all areas. Make a FaceTime call: In Contacts, choose a name, tap FaceTime, then tap the phone number or email address the person uses for FaceTime. To call someone who has an iPhone 4 or later, you can start by making a voice call, then tap FaceTime. When the voice call is established, the other person’s image appears on your screen. An inset shows what the other person sees. Rotate iPhone to use FaceTime in landscape orientation. Switch cameras. Drag your image to any corner. Mute (you can hear and see;the caller can see but not hear). If your Wi-Fi network is unavailable (for example, if you’re out of range), you get an option to redial the number for a voice call. Note: When you make a FaceTime video call, your phone number is displayed even if caller ID is blocked or turned off. 60Chapter 5 Phone
