Siri is finally heard in Spanish
One of the most outstanding news of the past WWDC 2012 (World Developers Conference) held by Apple a couple of weeks ago was the localization of the most famous voice assistant to different languages, including Spanish Something that users of the iPhone 4S have been waiting a long time, specifically a year, since this curious and practical tool was launched.Although we will still have to wait a few more months until its official release, it is already possible try Siri without speaking broken English
During this conference it was finalized that Siri will be available at the launch of iOS 6 in several languages localized to 15 countries around the world Thus, you will not only understand Spanish, but it will differentiate between the spoken in Spain and that of Mexico The same happens with the different types of English, Chinese, Italian, German, French and Korean With this, presumably the use of this assistant will spread and gain strength among users of Apple devices around the world. Of course, only those who own a iPhone 4S or the new iPad, where you can also will deploy Siri
After the presentation of the sixth version of the iOS operating system, we only had to wait a few days to test a beta or official test version for developers This version has Siri in Spanish (and other languages), and it has helped developers begin to create applications and for the most curious to try out how this voice assistant works in their own language. The results circulate in the form of videos on YouTube, and they are very diverse, showing the feats and novelties of this tool as well as the constant failures and hilarious responses it provides.
We remind you that in this new Siri, that will arrive included in iOS 6, new functions have been included curious and useful that speed up searches and complete this wizard.Thus, it is now possible to ask about sports results such as hockey or football, showing the scoreboard on screen The search for has also been improved filmography, being able to ask Siri in which movies a certain actor or actress stars In addition, this assistant now has the support ofYelp, specializing in restaurant reviews, making it easy to findrecommendations about this type of premises.

But, as seen in the video, there is still much polishing to do The failures to understand what the user says are obvious, looking for any term not understood on the Internet There is also a glimpse of the humor of this assistant, who seems to remembering questions already asked , avoiding answering them again, or the surrealism of some answers or actions.
Also, a few days ago, some of the users who were checking this vversion beta 1 of iOS 6 suffered service outages of this assistant, as well as the function of voice dictation Same as with the recentbeta version 2 Problems that seem to come from the servers of this tool and not the trial version of this operating system. The arrival official of iOS 6 and, therefore, of Siri in Spanish, is scheduled for the month of October of this year.
