    Stocks

    time it is at your overseas destination.
    To set or change alarms:Wake me up tomorrow at 7 a.m.
     Â
    Set an alarm for 6:30 a.m. Â
    Wake me up in 8 hours Â
    Change my 6:30 alarm to 6:45 Â
    51Chapter 4    Siri 
    						
    							Turn off my 6:30 alarm Â
    Delete my 7:30 alarm Â
    When you set an alarm, Siri displays the alarm so you can see that it’s correct. You can tap the 
    switch to turn the alarm on or off. Tap the alarm to open it in the Clock app.
    To ask about the date and time:
    What time is it? Â
    What time is it in Berlin? Â
    What is today’s date? Â
    What’s the date this Saturday? Â
    Siri displays a clock for you. Tap it to open the Clock app.

    							Siri displays a timer. Tap it to open the Clock app.
    Contacts
    Siri uses your entries in Contacts to find addresses, look up phone numbers and other information, 
    or tell you about someone’s birthday. 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?
     Â
    What is Susan Park’s phone number? Â
    When is my wife’s birthday? Â
    Show Jennifer’s home email address Â
    What’s my brother’s work address? Â
    To find contacts:Show Jason Russell
     Â
    Find people named Park Â
    Who is Michael Manning? Â
    If you’re not sure which phone number to use for a contact, ask Siri to show the person’s contact 
    information. To call, just tap a number. 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
     Â
    Note: check out that new Alicia Keys album Â
    Find my restaurant note Â
    Create a reading list note Â
    Add Tom Sawyer to my reading list note Â
    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
     Â
    Search for vegetarian pasta recipes Â
    Search the web for best cable plans Â
    Google the war of 1812 Â
    Search Wikipedia for Abraham Lincoln Â
    Search for news about the World Cup Â
    Bing Alicia Keys Â
    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? Â
    What is an 18% tip on $86.74 for four people? Â
    Who’s buried in Grant’s tomb? Â
    How long do dogs live? Â
    What is the Gossamer Condor? Â
    54Chapter 4    Siri 
    						
    							What’s the square root of 28? Â
    How many dollars is 45 euros? Â
    What was the Best Picture of 1983? Â
    How many days until Christmas? Â
    How far away is the sun? Â
    When is the next solar eclipse? Â
    Show me the Orion constellation Â
    What’s the population of Jamaica? Â
    How high is Mt. Everest? Â
    How deep is the Atlantic Ocean? Â
    What’s the price of gasoline in Chicago? Â
    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.

    Voice dialing
    You can use Siri (iPhone 4S) or Voice Control to call someone in your contacts, or to dial a specific 
    number. See Chapter 4, “Siri,”  on page 39  and “ Voice Control” on page 30 .
    Make a phone call by voice:  Activate Siri or Voice Control, say “call” or “dial,” then say the name  
    or number.

    Call John Appleseed, mobile Â
    For best results, speak the full name of the person you’re calling. When voice dialing a number, 
    speak each digit separately—for example, say “four one five, five five five, one two one two.”
    Note:   For the “800” area code in the U.S., you can say “eight hundred.”

    							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.
