Siri is a type of software that is integrated in Apple’s iOS operating system to work as a knowledge navigator or intelligent personal assistant. The reason why this application is so popular amongst various sections of iPhone users is because of its ability to make recommendations, answer questions, and perform other types of actions after requests are delegated to sets of web services. In the words of an Apple executive, it is because of Siri that the company’s devices can adapt to individual user preferences, complete personal tasks, and personalize the results obtained through operation of the software. Ever since Apple acquired the software in the year 2008, plans of Siri to create softwares for running on Android and BlackBerry platforms never materialized. Therefore, mobile market researchers often say that Siri is the force behind the iPhone’s continuing success in the world mobile market. Let us take a look at some reasons why Siri is one of the best applications for the iOS operating system:

1. User’s Voice is Siri’s Command – An Apple customer can now just use his/her voice for sending messages, ...
... placing phone calls, scheduling meetings, and making several other types of appointments. The features of Siri are so easily adaptable that the application adjusts with the voice quality and language dialect of all users. Upon asking, the software will play songs for you, and will also wake you up, help you find your way, and confirm you the score of the previous night’s game.

2. Siri Understands what Users Say, it also is Sure of what They Mean Exactly – Siri is one of the smartest applications created for a smartphone. Just talk to the app like you would talk to a living person. Not only will Siri understand what you are saying but will also get meanings of sentences. However, being specific about questions is necessary. For instance, if you want to eat burgers, you have to enquire about burger joints and not about restaurants in general. Moreover, Siri is a proactive application; it will question the user back if what he/she is looking for is not found immediately.

3. Ideal for Completion of Daily Tasks – The everyday stuff becomes less tasking with the use of the Siri software. The tools of Siri are designed in such a way so as they will be able to quickly identify which request to be completed by which application. Siri is also integrated with sources such as WolframAlpha and Yelp for finding quick solutions to queries made by users.

4. Work with Third party Applications – Siri works in coordination with third party apps like Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. Therefore, while updating a status or tweet, a user can tap on the microphone icon instead of typing from the qwerty keypad. Just dictate the message to the microphone and it will instantly appear on the status update column of your favorite social networking site.

Siri is indeed one of the biggest reasons for iOS’s stupendous success in the mobile market. A future feature where Apple says that it is in talks with car manufacturers for integrating the Siri software in the voice control systems installed in the vehicles is soon to hit the market. This will enable iOS users to control the steering and find direction without taking their eyes off the road. Siri is truly Apple’s most innovative software.
