Hey Apple how many times do I need to type the word "y'all" before my phone recognizes it's a word I'd like to intentionally use? Apparently three times a day for over two months isn't enough. ----- Before the iPitchfork gang comes for me...yes, I know that I can go into settings and add things like my name and other words to the dictionary. But what Y'ALL should know is that: 1. y'all is a word 2. "Other" phones have keyboard applications smart enough to recognize words you use and make them part of your dictionary.

Evelyn Van Orden Spent the morning, re-listening to the "Apple Mac at 40: Insanely Great" panel discussions (https://lnkd.in/eVbb4Twi). Regret not attending in person. A common theme is an appreciate of art, beauty and craftsmanship by both of Apple's founders. And how this permeated the culture. There is a particularly cool discussion between Bill Atkinson and Steve Jobs about rectangles with curved corners. The episode illustrates a willingness to sweat the details. Magic requires Real Work. (it would be interesting be a fly on the wall listening to conversations about Jobs and Adam Cheyer about Siri) Allen S. Firstenberg Dana Gibson Michael Novak Christophe Pierret Last Friday, during the VoiceLunch U.S pre-game, I did a Zoom sound-check. And in the process demoed a scenario involving the interaction of new features such as "user" interruption (barge), suspend and resume. It is always a pleasure to demo. I appreciated the help! Always appreciate advice and feedback. I still have a lot of work in front of me. I really have to do something about the word break. This will probably take some audio processing voodoo to get it right :-) Cathy Pearl Elizabeth Stokoe Saul Albert Peter Isaacs I believe a common case will be a user interrupting an assistant reading something long winded (like a report), asking it quick questions, then making a decision whether to continue. Doing this requires a lot more machinery (i.e, concurrency). I feel the current generation of voice assistants are akin to CP/M and MS-DOS. We really want UNIX (the Nest Hub has Fuchsia - what is their excuse?) . I suspect MBA types would argue, without big customers requesting it, building this ability is not worth the effort. Vendors that want high quality will think and do otherwise. From mostly describing the scenario and asking friends questions, I've concluded users fall into two camps about how continuation in this scenario works: automatically resume; prompt the user. However, this just tells me I have to allow for choice. Now I have to figure out what is a pleasant CUX experience. I know just resuming sounds harsh. In an ideal world, I ought to be able to quickly look at real life examples involving that particular case (or close approximates) to understand what is going on conversation wise. It would be nice to consult the right CA literature. Barring ready sources, If I had more resources, I would be tempted to record, say thirty people reading long passages and then interrupt them.Yes, there is an artificiality to the exercise that one just has to live with. I would later analyze what the conversations sounds like. This would guide "runtime" and tool development. I am also making the conceit that I have the conversation analysis chops for listening to and analyzing conversations. Right now, I would just take good guesses ....
