I’ll bet you don’t. What you can accomplish with Siri is amazing if you just know how to ask, and this book is where you will learn what to say and how to say it. With generous illustrations and simple explanations, Erica and Steve will help you get more out of Siri. Much more.” --Chuck Joiner, MacVoices “It’s easy to dismiss Siri as a fun novelty that gives amusing answers to ‘Open the pod bay doors, Siri.’ But Siri is a remarkably useful tool. The authors of Talking to Siri make it fast and easy to learn how to put it to use, whether that’s the quickest way to call your husband, schedule a reminder (‘When I get home, remind me to...’), or find out the baseball score. The writing is delightful, and the information full of ‘Gosh, how cool!’” --Esther Schindler, Technology Journalist “Steve and Erica’s knowledge of Siri is surpassed only by the clarity with which they explain it. I learned several new tricks, even as a long-time Siri user.” --Dave Caolo, News Editor, The Unofficial Apple Weblog About the Author Erica Sadun writes a lot of books and blogs at TUAW. When not writing, she’s a full-time parent of geeks who are brushing up on their world-domination skills. According to her academic dosimeter, she’s acquired more education than any self-respecting person might consider wise. She enjoys deep-diving into technology. Steve Sande also writes way too much. He’s the hardware editor at TUAW and has logged almost 2 million words written for the blog in a little more than 5 years. He’s written a number of books, is married to a rocket scientist, and spends his days being bossed by a cat.
