Bob’s epiblog
10 September 2018
Last week our regular guest, Bob wrote his first ever blog in which he told us about his visit to the Apple store and his hunt for a voice activated phone. With his new phone now delivered, he’s given us an update on how things have turned out. You guessed it, it’s BOB’S EPIBLOG (sic)!”
I had a rubbish 24 hours on Tuesday/Wednesday. After a brief overnight sojourn in the Western General (I won’t bore you with the details!), I returned feeling much better.
This morning Leuchie’s Guest Engagement Manager, Helen, set up the Apple iPhone SE. This afternoon Siri was able to send a text to my friend Phil, who replied. I then asked Siri to read his reply and bingo – we are now in the business of voice activated communication!
In my first blog I said that Apple Genius Richard was someone who knew-everything-about-all-things-Apple-and-everything-they-could-do-and-NOT-DO.
The NOT-DO is that Siri will not answer the phone. What use is a phone if you can’t answer it?!
Leuchie CEO, Mairi O’Keefe is going to write to California to point out that such an obvious thing has fallen through the cracks.
