Listen And Obey

Now that the latest iPhone model includes voice control, I’m inching away from “That’s a mildly interesting device,” and closer to “Hmm, I might like one of those myself.” I’ll probably wait for reviews to learn how well the voice control actually works. I’m hoping the recognition algorithm has enough flexibility to accommodate the quirks of my gimpy accent. Back-of-the-throat consonants like “guh” and “kuh” are a little tricky for me and, when I’m feeling lazy, I sometimes drop them. But as long as I don’t have to call too many people named Gavin or Coco, I might be okay.
