Same old, same old. WHAT IS HAPPENING?
Two days ago, my iPhone 11 (no, the veggiesaurus) started talking to me.
I was taken aback, yelled “CUT!” and sternly explained the keyboard is a walk-in, not a main character, and does not get any lines. It ignored me entirely.
Understand, it doesn’t read back the text. It announces keystrokes, what keys I press. So “happens” is “h a p n s”. We’re missing a p and an e because I’m pretty quick on the keyboard and ye olde iPhone is not.
When it really leans into the harness is for punctuation. “Opening double quotation marks.” By the time I finish what’s in the quotation marks, the phone is hopelessly behind. With surprising frequency, the speaker clearly says “up you”.
Yeah? Right back atcha, iPhone.
