Talking to your iPhone - Siri

Siri is capable of a lot more than answering questions - the iPhone's "intelligent assistant" can even tell you what she* can do. Just say "Help" and she'll present you with a scrollable list of categories of topics she understands. Click on each topic to see examples of things you can say, such as:

• Wake me up tomorrow at 7am.
• How many dollars is 45 Euros?
• Remind me to call my mom when I get home.
• Note that I spent $12 on lunch.

* In some languages Siri is a 'he' (e.g. when set to 'British English')
