Note: The title has been changed on this post to correct a copy/paste error. Pleasant Upgrade will be the title of tomorrow’s Thursday Doors post. I point that out because some people will be using that link (in the sidebar) when scheduling their Thursday Doors post. Sorry for any confusion.
One of the features I like about my car is that is supports Apple Car Play. Among other things, that means I can send and receive text messages without fumbling with my phone, putting myself in danger and breaking the law here in Connecticut. Incoming messages are read to me and my replies are processed from speech to text…sort of.
Last week, I was in a group text with our daughter Faith and my brother. I was trying to tell them I was on my way to the eye doctor, Siri, Apple’s virtual assistant kept turning ‘eye doctor’ into ‘a doctor.’ I didn’t want them to worry. Eye doctor suggests routine checkup. A doctor, suggests who knows what.
I tried speaking more clearly. I tried speaking louder. Siri never got the message right, but she switched to ALL CAPS as I was speaking louder. I couldn’t choose between these two responses as my one-liner:
This post is part of Linda G. Hill’s fun weekly series One-Liner Wednesday. If you have a one-liner, or if you would like to join in on the fun, you can follow this link to participate and to see the one-liners from the other participants.
Don’t forget, tomorrow is Thursday and that means Thursday Doors. The URL for my post is listed in the sidebar under our beautiful badge. You can link up at any time. My post goes live at one minute after midnight in the eastern timezone. I hope to see your doors.
All five of my current books are now available in audio book form thanks to Amazon KDP’s Virtual Voice process. The voice is AI generated, but I can honestly say, it’s pretty darn good. The audio books are reasonably priced (all below $7 US) and, if you already own the Kindle version and want to add an audio version, you can do that for $1.99. There is a five-minute sample on the book page for each book. If you’re interested, click on any of the Dreamer’s Alliance book links below the image or on the link below for my latest book.
