Definition: Siri
Apple's voice-based command system, introduced in the iPhone 4S in October 2011. In a very professional female voice, Siri answers questions such as "Who's the prime minister of Canada?" and "Find me a Japanese restaurant in Hollywood." She can also be used to dictate e-mail and text messages, and Siri can recognize common natural language expressions. If Siri cannot understand a question or does not have an answer, she will ask if she should search the Web.
Able to understand users better over time by learning their voice patterns, Siri is thought to be the start of a new era of intelligent mobile assistants. See iPhone 4S.

A Sense of Humor

Tell Her You Love Her
