Hey Siri text my wife I quote love your cooking comma unquote so all caps please don't ever think otherwise period you are my favorite meal hyphen maker open parenthesis seriously close parenthesis comma so will you please make your begin single quote tuna surprise end single quote again tonight question mark there is only one thing I ask comma however ellipsis new paragraph please don't accidentally tweet no space on hashtag tuna porpoise no space off in place of no space on hashtag tuna surprise no space off like last time because it will all caps appear forward slash all caps seem as though you enjoy dolphin in your albacore exclamation point goofy face<\/em><\/kbd><\/p>\nOr something like that. You know, normal stuff. It’s like ordering at the Starbucks drive-through (which I have yet to master). You just kinda have to know what you’re talking about.<\/p>\n
My daughter told me that she once used Siri’s voice-to-text on her iPhone to dictate an AP term paper her senior year in High School. I can only assume that “once” was some sort of teenage code for “more-often-than-I’m-willing-to-admit.” (Honest Dad\u2014that was the first time I’ve ever exceeded the posted speed limit!) <\/em>Mmm Hmmm…<\/p>\n I told her that\u2014technically speaking\u2014she wasn’t really using Siri, but her iPhone’s built-in dictation capability. I got the “whatever” eye-roll 🙄 that indicated it wasn’t worth the argument.<\/p>\n I’m glad I dropped it. She pretty much tested out of her first year of college, in large part due to those AP term papers \u2013 saving me about $60,000. Perhaps encouraging your child to use “Siri’s” voice dictation on their iOS device might be worth looking into as a money-saving opportunity for your family as well! Okay, maybe I’m stretching the causal effect a bit too far, but Siri and voice dictation has really changed the way we interact with each other and our devices. Plus, time and efficiency do translate into real-world $s and \u00a2s.<\/p>\n We here at Rocket Yard figured you might appreciate a handy list of many commonly used punctuation and text formatting commands for your bookmarking pleasure.
