How it works? Siri works with a natural language user interface for voice recognition Siri has personal context awareness, so it helps to make the desired request When Siri know what we want, delegate requests to a set of Web Services 6

How it works? Your speech is interpreted in your phone and in a server at the same time When it understood a series of vowels and consonants it create a candidate list of interpretations of your speech might mean Siri communicates with servers in the cloud to interpret your requests and retrieve the information you need 7

How it works? Maybe Siri can perform your request in the phone so stop the communication with the server If Siri doesn’t understand you, she can give you a list of choices or just indicate that she didn’t understand People have created a Siri Proxy that allow you to build and run plug-ins to add custom features to Siri 8

Siri’s limitations Siri needs a good connection to internet to perform the requests You must speack clarely to Siri in order she can understand you Siri can misinterpret you Siri doesn’t understand all spelling variations (i.e. Jeff or Geoff) 9
