Siri
What is Siri?
Siri is the intelligent personal assistant that helps you get things done just by talking. Siri 
understands natural speech, so you don’t have to learn specific commands or remember 
keywords. You can ask things in different ways. For example, you can say “Set the alarm for  
6:30 a.m.” or “Wake me at 6:30 in the morning.” Either way, Siri gets it.
WARNING:  For importan t information about avoiding distraction while driving, see Important 
safety information
 on page 12 9 ....

Siri also wants to know about the important people in your life, so put those relationships on 
your personal info card—Siri can help you. For example, if you tell Siri to text your sister, Siri asks 
you who your sister is (if you don’t already have that info on your card). Siri adds that relationship 
to your personal info card so it doesn’t have to ask next time. 
Create cards in Contacts for all your important relationships, and include information such as 
phone numbers, email...

Accessibility
Siri is accessible to blind and visually impaired users through VoiceOver, the screen reader built 
into iOS. VoiceOver describes aloud what’s onscreen—including any text in Siri’s responses—so 
you can use iPod touch without seeing it.
Turn on VoiceOver:  Go to Settings > General > Accessibility.
Turning on VoiceOver causes even your notifications to be read aloud for you. For more 
information, see  VoiceOver
 on page 10 6.

Ask Siri about what movies are playing, or where you can see a specific movie. Find out when a 
film premiered, who directed it, and what awards it won. Siri gives theater locations, show times,

Correcting Siri
If Siri is having trouble
Siri may sometimes have trouble understanding you—in a noisy environment, for example. If you

exactly right, you can make corrections.
Siri shows what it heard you say, along with its response. 
Correct what Siri hears you say:  Tap the bubble showing what Siri heard you say. Edit your 
request by typing, or tap
